    Hi, I'm trying to register SQL Server Express edition engine into Network. I've checked everything, but I'm not able to find it in the servers list. What are the things I should check more? I check TCP/IP & Named pipes connections, Enabled Remote connections, *Restarted the service* **Restarted the machine**! But nothing works. May be that's what you call Express edition?

      Was it a default instance? Should be ServerName\SQLEXPRESS from memory.

        You'd have to explain that a bit. Once installed, all should be fine. Where are you registering it? What application?

        Whether the SQL Browser service is running. Check MSDN[^]. Also, check your firewalls, and try to connect to the database using SQL Management Studio or ISql.exe.

          Yes this is what is shown when I browse for SQL servers in the n/w through Management studio. It gets displayed in the servers list in the local Mgmt studio. But when I open the studio from another machine, I'm not able to see. And it's vice-versa for the DB server that's hosted in the other machine. I'm not able to see it from my mgmt studio. But it gets displayed on his own mgmgt studio. You get it?

            Please check my reply above. I'm just right clicking on the server instance displayed in the Mgmt Studio then selecting "Register".

              Usually it's just a matter of installing, enabling remote connections if at all required, and done :) Is your Windows-account allowed to see the other server? Are you on the same domain?
