Error while connecting to SQL Server Express Edition from SCT

Question

I have installed SQL Server Express Edition and SCT in my system.  I tried connecting to SQL Server from SCT.  But, while testing, it throws an error saying "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The TCP/IP connection to the host , port 1433 has failed. Error: "Permission denied: connect. Verify the connection properties. Make sure that an instance of SQL Server is running on the host and accepting TCP/IP connections at the port. Make sure that TCP connections to the port are not blocked by a firewall.".  Can someone assist.  Thanks

Answer

I got it fixed by self.  Enabled the tcp/ip in the sql configuration manager and updated the all port as 1433 and restarted the sql server service.  This can be done only with windows administrative privileges.

Answer

As per SCT documentation @       
Microsoft SQL Server (version 2008 and later) are supported as source. What is the version of SQL Server Express Edition being used?
