Answer 1

This is an old question, but I came to this thread when I have similar issue. So answering this as it may be useful for others.

In my case its the server name syntax issue. SSMS uses ip_address,port_number syntax. So I have to use either localhost,1433 or 127.0.0.1,1433 to connect.

I actually found a SO question related to this here
