Error on Restore

Have been using ext stored proc for a while with no issue. This evening I was implemeting a variable into the mix and got the error:

VDI error 1010: Failed to get configuration from server. Check that the SQL Server instance is running, and that you have the SQL Server Systems Administrator server role. Error code: (-2139684861: The api was waiting and the timeout interval had
elapsed.)
SQL error 3013: RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
SQL error 3101: Exclusive access could not be obtained because the database is in use.

I am in QA as SA....the path includes the Sql Bin.
I went back and tried the ext stored proc without the variable and still got the error.

Forgot but using v4.6.0.815

Any suggestions?
thx

    My issue was not an issue. The DB that I was trying to restore has just seen it's load increase and I still had users in it thus the exclusive access message. The clear connections in Detach DB via Ent Manager didn't work. I had to take the DB offline and then bring it back online and then run the restore.

    In my script I was putting the DB in single user mode but apparently that was not doing the trick. Is there a way via script that I can take the db offline & back online right before I run the restore command?

    thx

    Hi Matt,

    You could try killing off any SPIDs connected to the database before restoring to it. Here is a bit of a sample script: 
    DECLARE @ProcessId varchar(4) 

     DECLARE CurrentProcesses SCROLL CURSOR FOR 
     select spid from master..sysprocesses where dbid=(SELECT dbid FROM sysdatabases WHERE NAME='<name of database>') order by spid 
     FOR READ ONLY 
OPEN CurrentProcesses 
FETCH NEXT FROM CurrentProcesses INTO @ProcessId 
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS <> -1 
BEGIN 
     Exec ('KILL ' +  @ProcessId) 
     FETCH NEXT FROM CurrentProcesses INTO @ProcessId 
END 
CLOSE CurrentProcesses 
DeAllocate CurrentProcesses
