SQL Server Configuration Manager can't see local sql server service or sql server agent service

  • Hello everyone

    This is a new issue that I bumped into today on a 2005 box. The services of SQL Server and its agent are running perfectly from services.msc but can't be seen from configuration manager.

    Any ideas how I can solve this?

    Thanks in advance!

  • can you see them in local box's mgmt studio ?

    can you see them in local box's mgmt studio ?

    Yes, but the local management studio failed to expand the "object explorer" for this instance.

    However, I can still see the geen arrow of the instance name and am able to manipulate the sql service if i want.

    Bazinga!

  • BTW, the Windows Management Instrumentation service is also running fine in the services mmc.

    Bazinga!

  • Or another question, is it possible to use another configuration manager to connet to this server?

    Or another question, is it possible to use another configuration manager to connect to this server?

    I am not sure about it, we can wait for another member for suggestion
