title: "Unable to start the Transact-SQL debugger" error in SQL Server Management Studio
body: <p>I am trying to access a remote server using SQL Server Management Studio 2014. </p>
  
  <p>For some reason I am getting an error that says"Unable to start the Transact-SQL debugger, could not connect to the Database Engine instance 'xx'. Make sure you have enabled the debugging firewall exception and are using a login that is a member of the sysadmin fixed server role" every time I attempt to debug. However, I am able to see the data of the server in my object explorer.</p>
  
  <p>At this point in time I have completely removed my windows firewall protection and am using a username and password that all my colleagues use, and it works for them. </p>
  
  <p>I am also running the program as an administrator each time.</p>
  
  <p>The server seems to be SQL Server 2008 R2.</p>
  
  <p>Anything that I am missing here?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
