Synopsis

When attempting to connect Data Platform Normalize to SQL Server during installation (config wizard), wizard 'test' fails to connect, even though SQL server user can login SQL (Server Managment Studio) and remote accessibility is enabled in SQL.

Logs indicate:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): Access is denied
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ensure "Named Pipes" is enabled in SQL Server Configuration Manager... "SQL Server Network Configuration".
