I'm successful at loading SQL SERVER 2005 DEV edition on my system (VISTA x64) but I cannot get the server ("named instance") I create during installation to show up in the "Local Servers" tab in SQL Server Management Studio. It shows up in the "Network Servers" tab instead.

ON the drop down list of server type, what do you have selected ?

Get the following error after entering Hostname\namedinstance: Login failed for user 'XXX\XXX'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18456)

Error message detail states: If you are trying to connect using Windows Authentication, verify that you are properly logged into the correct domain.

Do I still need access to the network even if I'm trying to create the server locally on my machine?

FYI: I now have access to the network but I still get the same error (Login failed for user 'XXX\XXX'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18456)
).

If you have installed in local servers, then why are you worried about network. Did you reboot your computer after installing Dev edition and Service packs?

The named instance keeps showing up in my "network servers" tab. No, have not rebooted or installed service packs. Will try that tomorrow. Thx for all your help.

I installed SP2. At the end of the update I was given the option to grant my user administrative priviledges. After granting my user priviledges I was able to connect to the named instance.

The problem is the named instance is still only showing up in my "network servers" tab and not my "local servers" tab.

The question now becomes: How do you create a server locally after the initial installation of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition and application of service packs?
