Hello, I have installed SQL server 2008 express edition, couldn't be able to see SQL SERVER CONFIGURATION MANAGER...any thoughts?

Hi Kabu04,

Type in SQLServerManager10.msc if you are looking for SQL Server 2008 configuration manager.
In the result panel you can see the SQLServerConfiguration Manager.
Click the icon to launch the SQL Server Configuration manager.
The configuration manager will open in MMC.

SQL Server Configuration Manager is nothing but a snap-in for the MMC, residing in the ~\Windows\System32 folder. Even though the file itself (SQLServerManager11.msc)

Can you show me what downloadable you installed ? You can easily go to start..all programs...SQL Server 2008 and there you can see SSCM.

Hi Kabu04,

According to your description, you can't find configuration manager in the apps list after installing SQL Server 2008 express.

We need to verify if the feature of Management Tools is selected in the process of installation, and verify if your installation is successful. Please share the Summary.txt log to us for analysis(default location of log : C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log).

If you select the feature of Management Tools and install SQL Server 2008 express edition successfully. You can open the Configuration Manager of SQL Server 2008 express as Milan Das say.

If the feature of Management Tools is not selected, you need to install this feature separately.

Best Regards,

Ice Fan

Ice Fan, Please do not propose your own answer!

By posting an answer we already know that you think that this is THE ANSWER, else why did you post it?!? as well any other person who post an answer! he is sure that he post THE ANSWER. The Idea of proposing an answer is to let someone else say that he also think that this is THE ANSWER. If each person that think his response is the answer will propose his own answer then all responses will be marked.

Thanks,

Kabu04 Is this still an issue?

* If not, then pls close the thread by marking one or more correct answer/s
