I've installed SQL Server 2008 R2 in my system but i'm not able to connect to the same from my colleague's machine which is on the same network.
Firewall is off on both systems.
Edited:
I've installed SQL Server 2008 R2 in my system the same installation is present in my colleague's system. While trying to connect to my machine from his machine using SQL Server Management studio it was showing an error as follows..
(I've used the server name for SQL management studio of my system for login)
The server was not found or was not accessible
I found a solution to this problem after posting the question but not sure if this is the correct way.
The SQL Server Browser service was stopped when i tried to connect initially. Now when i start this service from Sql server configuration Manager i'm able to connect to my machine from his machine.
1-Install SQL Server (Management Studio) on both machines
2-On your machine, run SQL Server
3-Make sure the server name is your colleague's machine IP address
4-enjoy!

So i just installed the Server Management and when i try to connect to server it gives me an error. I went to SQL Server Configuration Manager and there i dont have nothing. I have empty lists where the server instances should be. So i dont have any running local server.
So someone can tell me how i'm suppose to set some server instance or what i'm doing wrong ?
I installed the Server Management on Windows 7, 32-bit OS, and i need exacly this version of 2008 and i dont need the updated versions at this point.
SQL Server Management tool is just a GUI for you SQL Server. SQL Server is a separate installation. If you are trying to control a remote SQL Server you will need to add that to the management UI, local servers should show up automatically if you install SQL Server locally.
You can download SQL Server 2008 - Express Edition from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30438
It will install SQL Server which your Management Studio can connect.
I have just installed SQL Server 2016 CTP3.2 on a Windows 10 machine.
The problem I have now is that SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is not able to find the local server.
The Database Engine has not any server and if I click "" only the Integration Services has identified the local server (the computer name).
Why can´t the database engine locate the local server?
Sandeep, are you still running into this problem? To view the local database server, you can type in "." under the server name input.
Currently I am developing the Node.js web app on my local Mint linux machine, and connect to a local SQL Server 2008 (express) via SQL Server Authentication by using this node module mssql. Everything is fine now.
But now I need to deploy the app to a Red Hat 6.4 (64bit) machine and SQL Server 2008 R2. I was given a Windows Authentication way to access the SQL Server. I can use the Windows Authentication via the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio to see the database and create tables. But how I can connect the app on Red Hat to the SQL server via Node.js?
I have installed this MS ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server on the Red Hat server. What should the next move be? or best practise.
I just successfully connected to the SQL Server from Ubuntu 14.04.
I use FreeTDS as the driver, and unxiODBC as the driver manager, node odbc as the Node.js module to connect.
More information can see this link.
But I need to do more research, wondering if I can use the node module mssql to connect. mssql uses tds or tedious as drivers.
I'm trying to install SQL Server Management Studio 2012 on Windows 8. After installing, I am unable to connect to local server and when I check SQL Configuration Manager, I found out that no sql services is running. I re-installed it many times but still no luck. Why sql services is not running ?
During the install process, check that you actually install the SQL Server Database Engine and not only SQL Server Management Studio. Management Studio is only the client software to access an instance of SQL Server somewhere (locally or on a remote server), while the database engine is actually the server software of SQL Server, hosting actual databases.
I had installed SQL Server 2008, but faced some complications with that. I then installed SQL Server 2005, and now installed SQL Server Management Studio for SQL Server 2005 successfully.
I am not able to connnect to the server name it suggests.
TITLE: Connect to Server
Cannot connect to POONAM-C586A95C\SQLEXPRESS.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
This version of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express can only be used to connect to SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 servers. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.ConnectionDlg)
It doesn't show any other option of SQL Server name, though I changed the name as I remembered but for no good.
How can this be solved?
It sounds as if you're trying to connect to the 2008 instance with the 2005 SSMS. It's not clear whether you un-installed the 2008 instance.
Suggest installing the SQL Server 2008 SSMS.
Confirm/modify as needed that you're running the SQL Server instance that you require. This will show you which instances are available.
I would also check to make sure that you're connecting to the correct port. I'm come across a similar error before and the solution was to specify the port to connect to, i.e.
compname\instancename,portnum
