Hi,

 

 

make sure you have installed the SQL Server native client (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/ff658533) on the desktop in question.

I get the same error be in running from FME bench or from the server straight. I am using sql server 2012 with arcgis 10.4.1 installed in the same server. FME server is win32
