Any ideea why my local sever is not displaed in the drop down list where u select the server name?
Thx!
Go to SQL Server Management Studio to look for the correct Server Name and copy the value. Make all the configurations by yourself at the end just click Test connection button. If the connection is test successfully proceed with your work.
Open up SQL Server Configuration Manager (search for it in the Start menu). Click on SQL Server Services . The instance name of SQL Server is in parenthesis inline with SQL Server service. If it says MSSQLSERVER, then it's the default instance.
Add a connection in Server Explorer To create a connection to the database, click the Add Connection icon in Server Explorer, or right-click in Server Explorer on the Data Connections node and select Add Connection.
Maybe your Sql Server Browser service stopped.
Here is the solution.
Done. Now you can select server name from server name drop down list.
