SQL Configuration manager - Instance not refecting

  • Hi All

    I have done a fresh sql 2012 standalone installation but the instance services are not getting reflected in SQL server configuration manager

    Although I can find the instance details in services.msc and also in n/w configuration of configuration manager but in the sql services tab of config manager , it is not showing .

    The hide instance is unchecked when I check the protocol properties . Any other pointers which needs to be checked ?

    Thanks

  • Do you have mixed releases on the server? EG, 2008 & 2012?

  • Make sure you're using the 2012 config manager, not the one from any previous instances installed on that server.

  • No mates . That's the whole suspense .

    I am opening SQL configuration manager 2012 only . able to see both the instances in SQL server network configuration but sadly only one instance is visible in SQL server services heading .

  • Are you sure both instances are 2012 or below? One isn't 2014/2016 CTP?

  • yes one is 2012 and the other one 2005

  • Just out of interest if you run

    SQLServerManager11.msc

    from RUN can you see the 2012 instance?

  • no

  • OK, going to need screen shots of services.msc with the general properties of the services in question then as something isn't right.

  • Surprisingly , it has auto fixed over the weekend although no restart of services took place ...(mixed emotions) . I can see both instance services in config management now .
