Hi,
I think this is just a bug of the gui.
All my servers are "grey", maybe your admin-pc is in an other domain than your sql server.
Kind regards,
Andreas

IIRC, those are the servers that you can not restart the services for with whatever your current privs are.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

Think Jeff is on the money here. Two of mine show grey (blue in SSMS 2017), but i'd expect this. One because it's SQL17 on Ubuntu, so uses SQL Authentication (as AD isn't supported), while the other is on another domain with one way trust.
