Hi,
A customer installed SQL Server 2008 on their server. But when I connect to their server and open SSMS there is no name of the SQL Server there. So I went to SQL configurations tools and see that SQL Browser is not running. I assume that this is why I don't see it in the SSMS (correct me if I am wrong, please). So I go to the local services on this box (customer server) and see that the SQL Server Browser Service is not running. And I cannot start it. All options on the task menu are grayed. How do I start the SQL Server browser services?
TIA
