Error with named pipe in 2008 R2 (stopped listening)

  • Guys, i'm facing this problem below:

    Server named pipe provider has stopped listening on [ \\.\pipe\$$\MSSQLSERVER\sql\query ] due to a failure. Error: 0xe8, state: 4. The server will automatically attempt to reestablish listening.

    someone already had faced that issue ?

    Thank you.

  • Is the instance configured to allow named pipes? I ran into this article a while back that may help as well. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sql_protocols/archive/2005/12/22/506607.aspx

  • Yes, the instance is ok.

    i read the article but there isn't nothing about the fact of the listening stop and start all the time.

    Thank you.

  • Since it is happening all the time, you could run a trace to see if there is a command disabling it. Is there any other errors in event viewer?

  • There is nothing in trace or event viewer.

    Maybe update with the last patches solves the problem. The server 2008 R2 SP1, i'll apply sp2 and sp3.

    Thank you

  • Maybe the Gail Shaw could help me . I hope so . 🙂
