When SQL Server starts, one of the steps it takes is to initialize a

Tabular Data Stream (TDS)

listener and network libraries to accept incoming connections. If this initialization fails, error

17182 is raised. Initialization activities include starting the SNI layer/TDS listener, configuring or

initializing ports, protocols,

SSPI

authentication context, encryption (TLS/SSL) and so on.

Typically this error is raised together with other errors

MSSQLSERVER_17826

and

MSSQLSERVER_17120
