I had Vault Server 2012 installed and working this weekend. When I attempted to open and login to the server console today I received the following:
Failed connecting to SQL server - 'server=localhost\AUTODESKVAULT;userid=sa;password=*****;'
I have not changed any passwords? I tried uninstalling however when I attempted to re-install, it will not install, it gives the same message. What the heck did I do?
Solved! Go to Solution.

In Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services, can you see if the SQL Server (AutodeskVault) service is running still?
If not, will it start?
-Hywell
Thank!, SQL Server services were all disabled. I changed those to automatic. I was able to start the "SQL Server Browser" and the "SQL Server VSS Writer"
. The "SQL Server (AUTODESKVAULT)" <ERROR 2: could not find the file specified> and the "SQL Server Agent (AUTODESKVAULT)" <ERROR: 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start> and the "SQL Active Directory Helper Service" <Windows could not start the SADHS on local computer> would not start.
Since the Vault server has been uninstalled, I am now going to attempt to reinstall to see if that will clear the rest of the problems?
Update - Attempted to run the install and still received the following message
Failed connecting to SQL server - 'server=localhost\AUTODESKVAULT;userid=sa;password=*****;'
I opened the SQL Server Config tools and noted that the 2 AUTODESKVAULT options were "Stopped". I "started" them, rebooted and began the ADMS installation again. It is now installing. Progress made so far. YAY!
Thanks so much. Your question about the SQL service started me on the hunt. I had no clue where to begin being a "user" and not an IT person.
