I've installed SQL Server 2012 Express advanced edition on a clean (just OS without any third-party soft) w7x64 residing on VirtualBox 4.1.18. I’ve chosen every needed option to install, but after installation there is no SQL Server Express service running on guest OS on virtual machine. Also I have the same edition of SQL Server installed on my host OS which is also w7x64. Please give me any clues to what may be the cause of this issue.
Steps to diagnose:
Check in Control Panel -> Services that the SQL service is running
Try to connect from the local machine, type osql -E -S localhost\sqlexpress in a command prompt.

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!
I am new to Hyper-V and Server Core but I am stumped as to how to install a guest OS from an ISO using only PowerShell.
I have downloaded the Hyper-V Server ISO and installed it on my server. It only installs Server Core and does not give me the option for a full GUI option. I configured its network settings, etc and all looks ok. So Server Core installed properly and Hyper-V feature is enabled. I can use PowerShell to create a VM with VHDX and link my Guest OS ISO to it. When I start the VM there is no console UI to install the OS.
How are you supposed to install a guest OS with no console interface to setup the OS?
Note, there is no option under this configuration to enable the OS GUI as some posts have suggested.
First, please don't confuse "Server Core" with "Hyper-V Server". "Server Core" is an installation mode of Windows. Among other things, it can be converted to GUI mode, which is why people keep telling you to just turn the GUI on. Hyper-V Server looks like Server Core but it is not Server Core.
For your actual problem, you're not going to find a simple out-of-the-box solution. You could work up a complete unattended installation process. You could set up a Windows Deployment Services server and have it install via PXE boot. I think some of the third-party Hyper-V management solutions allow you to connect to the console of a VM from within the local Hyper-V Server.
Hyper-V Server was designed with headless operation in mind. It was expected that you would use it to configure and perform maintenance on the management operating system and, if desired, the virtual machines as containers. The guest operating systems themselves were not really meant to be managed from within Hyper-V Server. What it's expected that you'll do is use a full GUI, whether another copy of Windows Server or a Windows desktop operating system running Remote Server Administration Tools to remotely connect to Hyper-V Server and manage its VMs.
I've just built a new dev machine and I can't get SQL Server Agent working. What I've done so far:
Install VS 2010 (I think this installed an express version of SQL Server)
Install SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer edition.
I'm not sure if I did something wrong in step 2. All I want is a fully working version of SQL Server with SQL Server Agent running and no limitation on the amount of data I can store (I will need more than 10GB).
Currently, in SSMS I have the following instance: ./SQLEXPRESS. I thought that during step 2, this would have been upgraded, but it doesn't seem so.
Can anyone help?
Note: I ended up resolving this by uninstalling everything that had "SQL Server" in it in Control Panel > Programs and Features. I then reinstalled from scratch.

The agent account is disabled. If you aren't able to enable it through configuration manager, try enabling it through services. After its enabled, try starting the serivce. If you still have issues starting the agent, try changing the account the service is running under. There may also be an issue with the account that the SQL Server service is running under. Trying changing the SQL Server service account and restarting it. The agent should then start up successfully.
You have two installations, with two named instances. The Express named SQLEXPRESS and the developer edition named MSSQLSERVER (unless you changed this during install). connect to .\MSSQLSERVER and see, it should be there available to be started.
SQL Server Express does not ship with the SQL Server Agent.
I have installed ASP .NET 2.0 MVC3, SQL server express 2005 and SQL server Management studio express 2005 and IIS 7 in my system. If I am opening the install_btnet file, and providing the SQL server details also it is not getting connect. It is giving error as Service unavailable. Any one suggest me how to install Bug tracker .NET tool in my system with examples.
Thank you.
First thing to check it that your SQL 2005 express instance is running and allowing remote connections. Open the Administrative Tools >> Services and look for the service called "MSSQLSERVER$SQLEXPRESS" and ensure it is started.
Next, open the SqlServer Configuration Utility (on the server or PC where SQL 2005 Express is Installed) Look for the Client Configuration Option and Select "Client Protocols".
Set TCP/IP to "Enabled" and you should now be able to connect to your SQL server.
Note that even if your BugTracker.NET install is on the same machine, it may still be using the network to connect to your SQL Instance.
Hope this helps,
Dave
I'm writing a Linux application that accesses a LDAP server (currently OpenLDAP).
I would like to also test the application with an Active Directory server since that might be used in production.
Is there any free demo or trial version from Microsoft that would allow me to run this test in a VM ?
Yes, you can download a evaluation copy of Windows Server 2008 R2. You have 180 days to do your evaluation. After you successfully install the Windows Server 2008 R2, you just click Windows button and type in "dcpromo". It will launch a wizard and guide you setting up the domain controller (i.e. the LDAP server + KDC)
