Connection String for SQLEXPRESS on different server from PROGET

[Michael Fowler]

Hello,
I am trying to connect ProGet to an SQL 2012 Express instance on a remote server. I have tried the following without success:
Data Source=ServerName\SQLEXPRESS; Initial Catalog=ProGet; Integrated Security=False;User Id=Domain\username;Password=password;

Can you tell me what the correct connection string is?

Product: ProGet
Version: 3.7.4

This could be caused by any number of things. Some things to check:

• inbound firewall is open for port 1433
• SQL authentication is enabled if specifying a username/password in connection string (note using Integrated Authentication instead is strongly recommended)
• the installation is actually in an instance named SQLEXPRESS (if default instance is chosen at installation, you don't need the \SQLEXPRESS part)
• in SQL Server Network Configuration, TCP/IP is enabled and active

Thanks. Removing \SQLEXPRESS fixed it.
