While Working with SQLCMD in SQL Server 2005 I encountered following error. Let us learn in this blog post how we can solve Fix: HResult 0x274D, Level 16, State 1 Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : Login timeout expired.
HResult 0x274D, LEVEL 16, State 1
TCP Provider: No connection could be made because the target
machine actively refused it.
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : An error has
occurred WHILE establishing a connection TO the server. WHEN
connecting TO SQL Server2005, this failure may
be caused BY the fact that under the DEFAULT
settings SQL Server does NOT allow remote connections.
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : Login timeout
Solution/Fix/WorkAround:
By default SQL Server 2005 has TCP/IP connections disabled. To enable TCP/IP support, use the SQL Server Configuration Manager tool, select SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration, select Protocols, double-click onTCP/IP, and turn on Enabled.
Question: I just installed the latest version of SQL Server and now I am not able to find SQL Server Configuration Manager. What should I do?

Hello Pinal Sir,
I am developing one application that required to field a record as select from one combo and fill that record in to another combo that record is fetch from two different tables. it is working fine when records is less but when records are in large amount then it is giving an exception of timeout expired.
I tried a set timeout property in connection string but it is not not beneficial to me.
If u have any other solution then please reply me.
