Connect to SQL SERVER EXPRESS from Remote

[Altaf Sunesara]

Hello,

Using the Compute Engine Environment for first time.

I'm trying to access MS SQL SERVER EXPRESS installed on Windows server 2012 image available on compute engine, I have assigned a static ip to the instance , have also added exception to firewall in Windows for PORT 1433 as well as in via console area of Compute Engine. 

I tried connecting the instance remotely via  STATIC IP and Instance Name using SQL AUTHENTICATION,  have also configured SQL also for accepting remote connections as well as Allowed TCP/IP from Configuration Area. 

Any help regarding this would be grateful.

Dont forget you also need to configure the Windows Firewall.  You can either turn it off or add the needed ports.

Windows has three levels of firewall. Did you set the all?
