This error message is due to the server setting of Remote Connection Query Timeout. The default is 600 seconds, or 10 minutes.

SQL

EXEC SP_CONFIGURE 'remote query timeout', 1800
reconfigure
EXEC sp_configure
 
EXEC SP_CONFIGURE 'show advanced options', 1
reconfigure
EXEC sp_configure
 
EXEC SP_CONFIGURE 'remote query timeout', 1800
reconfigure
EXEC sp_configure

After making this change, make sure to close the window and create a new connection in order to inherit the new query timeout settings.

Regards,
Eduard

i have installed Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition and then configure its settings; I have enabled TCP/IP; but still facing the same error.
N.B: When i am setting SQL Server Management Studio as a server it works perfectly but in Express Edition i am facing this kind of problem.

Can you give me any solution regarding this.
Thanks Eduard in advance.

You have to enable remote connections in SQL Express as it is disabled by default.
