title: ASP.NET Core 2.0 connect to SQL Server 2000 error message "The SQL Server instance returned an invalid or unsupported protocol version"
body: <p>Needed help here, So I am deploying my ASP.NET Core 2.0 into Windows Server IIS</p>
  
  <p>All other pages load just fine,
  But when it comes to the page that connect with the db to retrieve data, I will have error </p>
  
  <pre><code>"The SQL Server instance returned an invalid or unsupported protocol version"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I realise that the SQL Server that I am using is SQL Server 2000 and it is not supported by .NET Core 2.0</p>
  
  <p>What should I do? Any workarounds? I couldnt upgrade the SQL Server at the moment.
  Should I just use normal ASP.NET MVC ?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
  
  <p>Edit: My appsetings</p>
