Does Microsoft Power BI Designer support SQL Server 2000 database as data source?

Question

I am trying to pull in the data from my SQL Server 2000 database (I know, we are very old) into MS Power BI Designer Preview for some report/analysis.

However, I keep getting following error that encryption is not supported. What the heck is that..! I am using SSMS 2012 client tool to access the 2000 database with the same credentials & it works just fine.

Can someone please explain why this error comes up & is there any way to work around this....?

I want to pull in SQL Server 2000 database data in MS Power BI Designer & create reports.

This is the error

Details:

Message=The instance of SQL Server you attempted to connect to does not support encryption.

Using ODBC worked for me.

On the Home ribbon Click Get Data and choose Other...

Select ODBC from the list of data sources

Enter a connection string. For my local SQL Server 2014 express database I used this:

database=MyDatabaseName;driver={SQL Server Native Client 11.0};server=(localdb)\ProjectsV12

We had the same issue when we disabled TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 on the web server - TLS 1.2 was only enabled. When we re-enabled TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 it worked fine.

Turns out the client needs to be updated to support TLS 1.2: TLS 1.2 Client Support

OLEDB 连接对我有用 - 甚至有一个很棒的“构建”选项来帮助构建连接字符串。
