After updating to SmartConnect 2013, receiving a message that says “Could not connect to SQL server” when trying to launch SmartConnect 2013.
Check in the Windows Event Viewer in the Application and Services Logs. Look for a SmartConnect event log and see if you see any messages that are similar to the following:
not-null property references a null or transient valueeOne.SmartConnect.Connectors.Microsoft.Dynamics.Gp.MsGpConnector.WebServiceDomain

If you see messages like this, you can run a script in SQL Server management studio to resolve the issue. Run this script in SQL server management studio and you will be able to get into SmartConnect.
