I am setting the registry value using SQL stored Procedure as belowEXEC Master.dbo.xp_Rewrite @RootKet='HKEY_Local_Machine'@Key='\Software\Microsoft\Microsft SQLServer\MSSQL.1MSSQLServer\SUperSocketNetLib\NP'@Value_Name ='Enabled'@type='Reg_DWord'@Value=1EXEC Master.dbo.xp_Rewrite @RootKet='HKEY_Local_Machine'@Key='\Software\Microsoft\Microsft SQLServer\MSSQL.1MSSQLServer\SUperSocketNetLib\Tcp'@Value_Name ='Enabled'@type='Reg_DWord'@Value=1After that if restart the machine and try to connect SQL Express using SQL Authentication from my VB.net application but it's not working. Can any one help me to run my Apps on LAN without configuring manually.Thanks in AdvancedNextComputing Next Computing Kolkata |
