My account has read rights for
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Instance
Names\SQL. The account is a member of the "Adminstrators" group, which has
both Full controll and Read rights.
Under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microso ft SQL
Server\MSSQL.1\Setup" I can also see all the installation info as well.

instance list is read.

However, do you see your installed SQL Server instance's info under
MSSQL.1? For example do you see the installation info under
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microso ft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\Setup"
? My aim is to ensure this is the right key name for your SQL Server

Under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microso ft SQL
Server\Instance
Names\SQL" I have an entry of type Name "MSSQLSERVER and data "MSSQL.1
( a string value with the name MSSQLServer and value MSSQL.1)

I have the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft
SQL Server\MSSQL.1

Can this be related to a user right problem under Windows 2008?

This is not normal at all.

The installed instance names of SQL Server is saved under the following
registry key: (The list which shows up when you click "Browse for
more..." and then "Browse for Servers" window pops up and you expand the
"Database Engine" node in the "Local Servers" tab.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Instance
Names\SQL

Will you check this list to find out if your MSSQLSERVER (Default
Instance) is listed under that node or not?

And can you tell me if you have the following key existed?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1

It's supposed to be MSSQL.1 if this is the first time you install a SQL
Server instance and your SQL Server Instance's records should be under
this key. You can stroll under this key to find out information about
your installed SQL Server instance.

If you are sure that MSSQL.1 is the key which contains the information
about your installed instance and if you don't have a created String
Value for this instance of SQL Server then you may want to try to create
a String Value under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microso ft
SQL Server\Instance Names\SQL". This String Value' s name is supposed to
be "MSSQLSERVER" (as your SQL Server instance is a Default Instance) and
its value should be "MSSQL.1" (if your scenario matches what I told
above)

You can elaborate if you do not want to move on by yourself.

The engine must be installed, since under Network Servers I see the

"localhost" "Server_Name" and "." from the server name field

The services that are installed are:

Hello Andy,

SQL Server Database Engine may not be installed during SQL Server
Setup. To ensure if this is true or false, you must open SQL Server
Configuration Manager and check out "SQL Server 2005 Services" node to
see installed SQL Server services.

Tell us what SQL Server services are installed. If you can see the
Database Engine (which looks like "SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)" if it's a
Default Instance or "SQL Server (<Instance_name>)" in case it's a
Named Instance).

Hi

Just installed a new SQL Server 2005 server. And have some questions
related to the connection window in Management Studio.
When I Launch Management Studio I choose the server I will connect to
in the server box. In this there is no name, so I choose "Browse for
more.."
Here I can select the server to connect to. Under "local Servers" I
have en entry saying "database Engine" but no servers are listed. I
have to choose "Network servers", and browse down to I find the
server in Questions. Does this sound right when I'm launching
Management Studio from the local server where the database engine is
installed?
In the SQL Server 2005 Surface Area configuration tool the server is
configured for Remote Connections. I've chosen "local and Remote
connections." and enabled both TCP/IP and names pipes. The only
option that I can connect to under "local servers" are Integration
services".

/A.

Hello Andy,

SQL Server Database Engine may not be installed during SQL Server
Setup. To ensure if this is true or false, you must open SQL Server
Configuration Manager and check out "SQL Server 2005 Services" node to
see installed SQL Server services.

Tell us what SQL Server services are installed. If you can see the
Database Engine (which looks like "SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)" if it's a
Default Instance or "SQL Server (<Instance_name>)" in case it's a
Named Instance).

Hi

Just installed a new SQL Server 2005 server. And have some questions
related to the connection window in Management Studio.
When I Launch Management Studio I choose the server I will connect to
in the server box. In this there is no name, so I choose "Browse for
more.."
Here I can select the server to connect to. Under "local Servers" I
have en entry saying "database Engine" but no servers are listed. I
have to choose "Network servers", and browse down to I find the
server in Questions. Does this sound right when I'm launching
Management Studio from the local server where the database engine is
installed?
In the SQL Server 2005 Surface Area configuration tool the server is
configured for Remote Connections. I've chosen "local and Remote
connections." and enabled both TCP/IP and names pipes. The only
option that I can connect to under "local servers" are Integration
services".

/A.

This is not normal at all.

The installed instance names of SQL Server is saved under the following
registry key: (The list which shows up when you click "Browse for more..."
and then "Browse for Servers" window pops up and you expand the "Database
Engine" node in the "Local Servers" tab.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Instance
Names\SQL

Will you check this list to find out if your MSSQLSERVER (Default Instance)
is listed under that node or not?

And can you tell me if you have the following key existed?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1

It's supposed to be MSSQL.1 if this is the first time you install a SQL
Server instance and your SQL Server Instance's records should be under this
key. You can stroll under this key to find out information about your
installed SQL Server instance.

If you are sure that MSSQL.1 is the key which contains the information about
your installed instance and if you don't have a created String Value for
this instance of SQL Server then you may want to try to create a String
Value under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microso ft SQL
Server\Instance Names\SQL". This String Value' s name is supposed to be
"MSSQLSERVER" (as your SQL Server instance is a Default Instance) and its
value should be "MSSQL.1" (if your scenario matches what I told above)

You can elaborate if you do not want to move on by yourself.

The engine must be installed, since under Network Servers I see the server

The services that are installed are:

SQl Server Fulltext Search (MSSQLSERVER)

SQL Server Analysis Services(MSSQLSErver)
SQWL Reporting serives (MSSQLSERVER)
SQL Server Browser

Can this be related to a user right problem under Windows 2008?

Sorry, I don't know if (particularly) Windows Server 2008 has anything to do
with this issue. However, if your account would not have enough rights to
those registry paths then you would experience other problems as well. But
you may want to check if your account has read permission for this
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Instance
Names\SQL) path. Because this is (AFAIK) the only place SQL Server instance
list is read.

However, do you see your installed SQL Server instance's info under MSSQL.1?
For example do you see the installation info under
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microso ft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\Setup" ?
My aim is to ensure this is the right key name for your SQL Server instance.

You can always type in the name of the server yourself.
