TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0xd, status code 0x36.

I've seen this problem posted a couple times on the MSDN forums so I'm including the problem and the solution here.  The MSDN SQL Server Data Access Forum is available at: http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=87.

If you see the following error messsages in your SQL Server ERRORLOG:

2005-10-30 15:35:44.79 Server      Error: 17182, Severity: 16, State: 1.

2005-10-30 15:35:44.79 Server      Error: 17120, Severity: 16, State: 1.
2005-10-30 15:35:44.79 Server      SQL Server could not spawn FRunCM thread. Check the SQL Server error log and the Windows event logs for information about possible related problems.

Check what network protocols are enabled for SQL Server in the SQL Configuration Manager application.  If the VIA protocol is enabled disable it and then try starting the SQL Server service again. 

Hope this helps,
Vaughn

SQL Protocols said:

JO, is the first error message in your ERRORLOG exactly "Error: 17182, Severity: 16, State: 1" with "error 0xd, status code 0x36" or is it slightly different? If it's the exact same I suggest retrying the steps again and maybe rebooting once to be certain the service has stopped and started.

If the message is different in error code or state code please post the codes from your message and we'll try to provide some suggestions.

Thanks,
Vaughn

Great help, Thanx

My Web apps hostyed on web server with SQL server. Today morning suddenly, it stopped working.

I put the word 'TDSDNIClient' in the google and first link helped me out.

Now can u help me knowing what VIA protocol does? And how our SQL server is dependent on VIA protocol with port number 1433.

I guess there is some conflict using same port no. 1433.

Matt Neerincx [MSFT] said:

Just a follow up on Amit's question about the VIA protocol.  The VIA protocol is a special protocol that requires specialized hardware (a custom network card essentially) and also a VIA driver from a 3rd party vendor.  VIA is used in some specialized applications where massive network bandwidth is needed, for example if you have 2 SQL Servers that replicate huge amounts of data.  

So do NOT enable VIA unless you have the VIA hardware and drivers installed on your system.

# March 13, 2006 1:13 PM

SQL Protocols said:

Paulo,
 Looks like you disabled all protocols. Without a protocol enabled, sql server won't be able accept requests and process queries. You need to enable at least one protocol.
# March 13, 2006 1:18 PM

dlorenz said:

Is there a way to disable the VIA protocol during install.  While attempting to install SQL Server 2005, the installation attempts to start the SQL Server Service midway through install (even if I use the advanced option to not start SQL Server service at end of install).  It fails to start, with event logs showing the errors listed here.  I can only retry or cancel.  If I cancel, it rolls back the installation.  Without the complete install, I cannot seem to configure the protocols.  
# March 16, 2006 11:38 AM

SQL Protocols said:

Are you certain the error code and status code are the same (0xd, and 0x36, resp.).  Generally, Setup does not enable VIA by default, so it is surprising to hit this during installation.  

Thanks,

We had the same error (the difference is that the first status code is 0x4), and disabling via didn't help. What seems to be the problem, is that sqlserver was installed while no network interface was present.
# April 3, 2006 8:25 AM

SQL Protocols said:

The 0x4 error indicates that no protocol was enabled and SQL Server was unable to start.  The simple remedy is to enable at least one of the protocols.  Take a look at this previous blog, http://blogs.msdn.com/sql_protocols/archive/2006/01/10/511330.aspx, to see a more complete list of error states.

I have this same error, and I tried disabling / enabling various protocols to no avail. In my case I think it it because we have changed the SQL 2005 server from DHCP to be using a static IP address.
Does anyone know if there is anything I can do to save it? Or is it a re-install?
Many Thanks
# June 6, 2006 12:13 PM

SQL Protocols said:

Hi, Sharon
   
   This error code happens when server gets via settings fail. So, to fix your probelm:

1) Are you using VIA protocol or not? If not, did you enabled VIA? After you disabled it, did you restart the server? If you are using VIA, please check correspondant via ipadress and port configuration in VIA driver utility to see whether they match the info when you open SQL Server 2005 configuration Manager client protocol VIA properties.

2) Could you check server errorlog to see whether there is more specific info like:
("The SQL Server failed to initialize VIA support library [QLVipl.dll]. This normally indicates the VIA support library does not exist or is corrupted. Please repair or disable the VIA network protocol. Error: 0x7e.
")

As for how to see server error log, please check following blog:

Any ideas?

# August 27, 2008 8:53 AM

MattN said:

0xb7 is decimal 183 which in winerror.h is ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS.

Status code 0x50 is attempting to start named pipes.

Hence I think you have a named pipe collision problem. Perhaps you have another SQL Server instance running with the same named pipe name configured.

Open "SQL Server Configuration Manager" and examine all the sub-nodes under the

"SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration" node.  Each sub-node is an instance.  Examine named pipes property for each.  You may have same named pipe name for 2 instances by mistake.

The default instance named pipe (MSSQLSERVER) is usually named:

\\.\pipe\sql\query

A named instance named pipe is usually named:

\\.\pipe\MSSQL$<InstanceName>\sql\query

Note replace <InstanceName> above with the name of the instance.

What started:.....

The sql server (MSSQLSERVER) service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Performance Logs and Alerts service.............

got to this point where VIA should Disabled.

Great post!

It solved the problem of starting MSSQLSERVER (sqlservr.exe).

Luckily, I ran sqlservr from command prompt and it showed me some of the error above.

Thanks again!

I disabled TCP IP instead and it worked.

The cause of our problem is the administration removed SQL Server cluster resource and then add it again manually.  The registry entries were also removed.

Hi

Please clarify how enabling via protocol is the reason of above failure

thanks

# October 31, 2009 5:15 PM

SQL Protocols said:

Enabling the VIA protocol in SQL Server will usually cause failures for a combination of two reasons:

1) SQL Server does not allow the server to start up if it fails to listen on a protocol specified by the user.

2) The VIA protocol is tied to specialized hardware (if you have VIA NICs, you bought them intentionally and know that you have it; it's not common by any stretch).

Hence, when you enable VIA for SQL Server, since you probably don't have the required hardware, SQL Server fails to listen on the VIA nic (since it doesn't find one), and this causes the startup to fail with the above error.

Hope this clarifies!
