| Hi all,I installed SQL Server 2008 on my computer but I am unable to connect to the database engine through Management Studio. In Computer Management under SQL Server Configuration Manger, SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) is running. Is there a way I can verify that the database engine is installed correctly and that it is running?Thanks. |

| I am not sure how to check to see if it is running. Below is the error message it give me. TITLE: Connect to Server------------------------------Cannot connect to (local).------------------------------ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.
