Hi there,

I installed a SQL server R2 64-bit and it works. But when I tried to access it from SharePoint portal it always gives error, saying the server not exists. During the installation I saw some tests, one of them, saying the processor is not 64-bit, I am using Windows 2008 R2 64, Hyper-V as virtual server, and hardware are dual CPUs of Intel Xeon 5520, what could be the problem and how should I to solve this? Thanks in advance.

Are you making a connection between two different hyper-v images or are you installing sharepoint on the same server as the database? Do a "SELECT @@version" in Management Studio on the server...the result should include something about "x64" for both sql server and the OS. This is what I get when I run it on my server:

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (SP1) - 10.0.2531.0 (X64) Mar 29 2009 10:11:52 Copyright (c) 1988-2008 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7600: )

But did you try it with the port number? It has to be ServerName,PortNumber for this test.

Thanks. Got problem solved. It is due to the firewall setting in Windows Server 2008 R2. Add sqlservr.exe to the firewall domain network location then it's ok now. I am afraid I'll do the same thing to Analysis and Reporting service. Just wonder why the installation engine does not set up those to the firewall automatically.

Because that would be a security concern.
