Unable to connect to WSUS WID with SQL Management Studio V20, does not support encryption

Unable to connect to WSUS WID with SQL Management Studio V20, does not support encryption

 

We just had a customer where a newer version of SQL Server Management Studio was installed to manage the WID (Windows Internal Database) of the WSUS server on a Server 2022 OS.

With the EOL for WSUS Server (only development and new features; you are still able to use that great tool), we thought this might be how things will go in the future. But you would still

Be able to download an older version of the management Studio.

Error you see:

TITLE: Connect to Server

 

Cannot connect to \\.\pipe\microsoft##WID\tsql\query.

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

 

A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 0 – Kein Prozess ist am anderen Ende der Pipe.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 233)

 

For help, click: https://docs.microsoft.com/sql/relational-databases/errors-events/mssqlserver-233-database-engine-error

 

 

\\.\pipe\microsoft##WID\tsql\query
\\.\pipe\MICROSOFT##WID\tsql\query


Connect to WID Windows Internal Database on Server 2016-2022.

Error you see which should explain it all.

Simple solution: Change Connection Security Encryption to Optional. 😉

Works
