I have SQL Server 2008 R2 inside Windows Server 2008. But when I tried to start the "SQL Server Browser" service, I got the following error:
The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.
So what might be causing this error?
Click Start, search for Services, and then click Services in the search result. Scroll until you find the service, and then double-click the service. If the service is disabled, click the Startup type list, and then select an option other than Disabled. Click Apply.
Try to open Services Window, by writing services.msc
into Start->Run and hit Enter.
When window appears, then find SQL Browser service, right click and choose Properties, and then in dropdown list choose Automatic, or Manual, whatever you want, and click OK. Eventually, if not started immediately, you can again press right click on this service and click Start.
