IIS and SQL Server Application Support
Many database issues appear first as web application problems. This service focuses on the connection between IIS, Windows Server, application configuration, SQL Server, security, and production troubleshooting.
Troubleshooting the systems between the website and the database.
Connection Strings
Update and troubleshoot SQL Server connection strings, server names, named instances, ports, login methods, and production cutover changes.
IIS Configuration
Review IIS sites, bindings, application pools, identities, permissions, SSL certificates, HTTPS redirects, and application hosting configuration.
Security & Permissions
Diagnose login failures, service account issues, file access problems, SQL permissions, Windows authentication, and least-privilege access patterns.
Network & Firewall Paths
Investigate private IPs, ports, DNS, security groups, firewall rules, and server-to-server connectivity between web and database tiers.
Production Cutovers
Support application moves, SQL Server migrations, server renames, connection string changes, testing, and rollback planning.
Root-Cause Analysis
Connect web errors, timeouts, failed jobs, application logs, SQL Server waits, blocking, and database errors into a clear troubleshooting path.
When IIS and SQL Server need to be reviewed together.
These issues often require database, server, and application troubleshooting rather than a narrow single-tool diagnosis.
- Application cannot connect to SQL Server after a migration
- Login failed, access denied, timeout, or named instance errors
- HTTPS, SSL, www, or canonical redirect issues in IIS
- Application pool identity or service account permission problems
- Firewall, port, DNS, or private IP connectivity failures
- Connection string updates after SQL Server moves
- Slow web application caused by blocking or inefficient SQL
- Production cutover support for IIS and SQL Server changes
