This might help you.
SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) shows Server name from installed SQLServer.
Uninstall SQLServer if you already installed or install SQLServer from here
Once you reinstall SQLServer. Open SSMS on connect panel
Click on Server name dropdown
Select [Browse for servers]
Selected [Database Engine]
Choose your machine and that's it

Can anyone tell me What is the simplest way to know the Name of local server when login to SQL Server Management studio 2008 for the first time..?
I have tried some good way/solution if not anybody found some method he can try this one:
this works for me fine:
First open RUN type services.msc then go to sql server (name you
selected during installation ) like sql server (SQLServerExpress) and
start this application or restart.
You have to type command SQLCMD -L into CMD window opening as an
administrator & press enter.
Give appeared server name into sql server management studio 2008

I need to run SSMS for my own practice and create a local database on the machine. But I am unable to connect to the local server
I have Microsoft SQL Server 2014 installed. It comes with SQL Server Management Studio version 12.0.4100.1
I type the server name
(localdb)\v11.0
But I am getting an error
I tried searching for server names by clicking on the 'Browse for more' option in the drop down of SSMS connection window, but could not find any server mentioned there.
I ran SQL Server Configuration Manager and went to SQL Server Services. There are no items available there
I tried running the below command through command prompt
NET START SQLSERVERAGENT
but it gave 'server name invalid' error
Can someone suggest other steps to debug and run the local server
Thanks #Ross Bush and #WEI_DBA
I had installed the setup SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe. I didn't realize that this setup did not contain the provision to install the db engine. I ran another installer SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe. And while running this setup, I selected the database engine services checkbox and installed. I am now able to connect to the local server.
Thanks Once againm for your help!
I've installed Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Management Studio today and now I'm trying to connect to server. As far as I know there should be default local server that would allow me to create a database in it. Unfortunately, my list of servers is empty and I cannot connect to anything. I've read tutorials and tried everything, even reinstalling all the Microsoft SQL Package. How can I fix this problem and find/create my local server?
Ok, I've read that there might be a problem with connecting to database even if whole microsoft package gives me LocalDB. I had to install Visual Studio, then clicked View -> SQL Server Project Explorer. Right click at 'SQL Server', I added new database and then entered its name. Now I can connect with my own server by typing '(localdb)\v11.0' in management studio.
Forgive me if this question was already asked before.
I just installed Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2014. I want to create a database so I can start building some tables from scratch. All I am getting is the ability to connect to a database. Not create a new database.
As per comments, First you need to install an instance of SQL Server if you don't already have one - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143219.aspx
Once this is installed you must connect to this instance (server) and then you can create a database here - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ms186312.aspx
Warning! SQL Server 14 Express, SQL Server Management Studio, and SQL 2014 LocalDB are separate downloads, make sure you actually installed SQL Server and not just the Management Studio!

How to select a local server:
When you are asked to connect to a 'database server' right when you open up SQL Server Management Studio do this:
1) Make sure you have Server Type: Database
2) Make sure you have Authentication: Windows Authentication (no username & password)
3) For the server name field look to the right and select the drop down arrow, click 'browse for more'
4) New window pops up 'Browse for Servers', make sure to pick 'Local Servers' tab and under 'Database Engine' you will have the local server you set up during installation of SQL Server 14
How do I create a local database inside of Microsoft SQL Server 2014?
1) After you have connected to a server, bring up the Object Explorer toolbar under 'View' (Should open by default)
2) Now simply right click on 'Databases' and then 'Create new Database' to be taken through the database creation tools!
1: Download MSQL server from below link.
2: During installation it will ask to install SSMS , so install that if not already installed.

I have a problem while running SQL Server 2012 on my machine.
I installed SQL Server 2012 on my machine but just show it
SQL Server Configuration icon
Import and export data icon
SQL Server installation icon
SQL Server Error and usage icon.
There I can't see SQL Server 2012 Management Studio icon, so I wasn't able to view the database and tables in it.
Please guide me to fix it.
Have you install Sql Server Management Studio 2012? You have to install it.
You can download the management tools from the below link
Microsoft SQL Server SP 1
Select only SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe or SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe from the download options.
