We have a simple site, one server with SQL 2012 and SCCM 2012 SP1. One day, without any obvious changes, the Configuration Management Console Stopped Connecting. The error from SmsAdminUI.log:
Error Code:
ProviderLoadFailure
\r\nSystem.Management.ManagementException\r\nProvider load failure \r\n at System.Management.ManagementException.ThrowWithExtendedInfo(ManagementStatus errorCode)
at System.Management.ManagementObjectCollection.ManagementObjectEnumerator.MoveNext()
at Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.ManagementProvider.WqlQueryEngine.WqlQueryResultsObject.<GetEnumerator>d__0.MoveNext()\r\nManagementException details:
instance of __ExtendedStatus
On the SCCM Server itself, the SQL Server will not start. The same account can start other instances on the same server.
I then tried to login in with SQL Management Studio. None of the domain accounts can login and the error:
Cannot connect to <server\instance>
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to the SQl Server. The server was not found or was not accessible...
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
I checked the "SQL Server (databasename)" It will not start. The same account can start other instances on the same SQL server.
I tried to run setup again to restore settings and it hung, but the Configmgrsetup.log showed:
