  Hi All,

  On one of the sql server machine, when I open the sql server configuration manager, I am not able to see sql server services.

  But if I open start->run->services.msc, I can see the services there. Why It is not showing up in SQL Server Configuration Manager, Anyone faced it ?

  

   

   

  Thanks,

  Sam

  You sure you are opening the correct version of configuration manager?  For example, if you install SQL Server 2017 and open SQL Manager 2012, you won't see it in there (at least, that has been my experience).

  If that isn't it, then I am not sure.

  The above is all just my opinion on what you should do. 
  As with all advice you find on a random internet forum - you shouldn't blindly follow it.  Always test on a test server to see if there is negative side effects before making changes to live!
  I recommend you NEVER run "random code" you found online on any system you care about UNLESS you understand and can verify the code OR you don't care if the code trashes your system.
