SQL Server Browser missing in SQL Configuration

  • Hi all,

    This is SQL Server 2008R2. On the SQL Server Configuration I'm unable to see SQL Server Browser. But when I check the services I can see the SQL Browser running.

    Under SQL Server Configuration Manager > SQL Server Services

    1. Full text

    2. SQL Server (Default)

    3. SQL Agent (Default)

    But I'm unable to see the SQL Browser services here. What is the remedy? Please help.

  • I suspect the installation failed. Might try repairing the install from setup.

  • I have tried to do a repair and also reboot the SQL Server but it doesnt seem to have fixed it. I do not see the SQL Browser Service under SQL Configuration Manager

    Anything on the registry should I change/check?

    Please help...

  • You can take a look at the MSSQLTip I wrote on missing services from SSCM[/url].

    You can likely look under services management console (services.msc) and see Browser service listed there. If it is then the tip linked above should help you get it set correctly.

  • The browser service is listed under services.msc

    But its a bit hard to understand for me.. however here's the output from the command on two different servers

    Server where SQL Browser is listed in SSCM

    I think I can see SU in both the outputs. Is something needed to be changed?

  • Is there anyone who can look into my problem..

    SQL Server Browser is not listing under SQL Server Configuration Manager.
