I have a brand new installation of SQL 2016 Standard Edition on clean install of Windows Server 2016. Brand new hardware as well. Currently our production server is running SQL 2012. I am in the process of configuring the new SQL server as the replacement. I have full domain admin credentials on our network and I have sysadmin permissions on the new SQL 2016 instance. When I am logged into the 2016 SQL server, I am unable to connect to Integration Services from SSMS. I have Googled the error message for the past two hours without any solution. I receive the following error message:
- "Failed to retrieve data for this request. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc)"
- "Connecting to the Integration Services service on the computer "localhost" failed with the following error: "The specified service does not exist as an installed service"
- "This error can occur when you try to connect to a SQL Server 2005 Integration Services service from the current version of the SQL Server tools. Instead, add folders to the service configuration file to let the local Integration Services service manage packages on the SQL Server 2005 instance"
Weird error message (reference to SQL 2005) since I am physically on the SQL 2016 server, using SSMS 2016, and Integration Services as installed with SQL 2016. And, yes, the IS service is running. I've rebooted the physical server several times over the past few days.
The error message is likely a red-herring. If anyone has encountered this issue, I would appreciate hearing from you. I have other configuration tasks to perform, so I won't beat my head against the wall any longer.
Thanks. Much appreciated.
