    Hello, I cannot register new server in SQL Server 2008. I can save it but cannot start all the items (Start, Stop, ...) under Service Control menu appear disabled.

      What does that mean exactly? Are you saying that you INSTALLED sql server and start is not enabled in the windows services control panel applet?

        No, my 'base' or don't know how to call it server works fine and I am connecting to it as usual via 'Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio'. But when I enter to 'Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio' and try to register new server i.e. from the menu I choose from menu 'Register...' then appears the form 'New Server Registration' I cannot save this new server but cannot start it.

          When you went to the register dialog did you hit 'test'? If you did and it worked then can you log into the other box and start and stop the server from there? (Presumably you are using windows authentication.)

            Yes I hit 'test' but I got the following message: ------------------- Testing the registered server failed. Verify the server name, login credntials, and database, and then click Test again. Additional information: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40- Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53) Yes I am using Windows authentication (in fact I can login via 'sa' also).

              Right-click the icon for "Sql Management Studio", choose "Run as Administrator". That solved a similar problem I had under Sql Server 2005, should not be required for 2008 though. Since you can connect using the 'sa', I'd assume that the configuration is correct (TCP/IP being enabled) and that you have the name of the correct instance on the server. Do you have rights to start/stop the Sql Server Service when you open the "Services" list from the Configuration Panel?

                    And what? You registered a server to which you do not have access. Thus you cannot start it. As to why you do not have access it could either be because of permissions or because it does not exist.
