SQL Server Configuration Manager not showing the details - sql-server

When I am opening the SQL Server Configuration Manager, the details are not being shown. I am only seeing the attached screenshot above.
And also when I opened services.msc, I am seeing multiple instances of SQL Server, SQL Server Agent, SQL Server Analysis Services and SQL Server Integration Services.
I am using the SQL Server instance named SQL_DEVELOPER only. I need the multiple instances to be removed.
SSAS is working fine with SQL_DEVELOPER instance, but with same instance the SSIS is not working.
Also I am also facing issue to start the SQL Server Integration Services in services.msc.

Deployment failed. Connection can't be made. Ensure server is running. To update/ change server, enter name of the server in the project properties

I checked the list of services, SQL server, SQL server agent, SQL server browser are running. But I don't have integration, analysis, reporting services in my list of services even after installing the extensions from VS. Am using VS 2019, SQL server 2019 of developer edition and SSMS 18. I also have SQL server data tools installed in my VS. After reading the error msg I also changed the server name in the project properties from 'localhost' to '(localdb)\MSSQLLocalDB', also replaced it with IP address. But nothing worked. I think it is due to no SSAS, SSIS, SSRS in the services list. How can I get them into my list. Please help.

SQL Server Databases missing after installing SQL Server Express

I installed SQL Server 2017 Express as a named Instance alongside my default instance. After rebooting once - both were showing but the I could not connect to SQL Server Express remotely. I then followed the instructions to enable IP on SQL Express using configuration manager and rebooted. Now I can connect remotely but my default instance is showing NO databases!
Also in configuration manager, SQL Server Services does not show any of my instances so that I can check they are running (this was the care even prior to enabling the IP address on the protocol, and when I knew it definitely was running as I could connect to it)

Update:
I discovered if I launch SQL Server Configuration Manager 2016 rather than "SQL Server Configuration Manager" I can see all my servers.
SQL Server 2016 appears to be running as is SQL Server Express. There is also a "MSSQLServer" that is stopped - think this may be SQL Server 2012. Not sure at this stage which one had the databases.
Ok so for anyone in a similar situation / panic. Do the following.
Look to see what other SQL Server configuration mangers are showing up. If you have installed multiple versions over the years chances are you'll see more than one.
Try using one of the later ones. You can see the file path too if you need it here.
If you manage to see a list of your database servers, check which are enabled and disabled. I had to disable SQL Server (SQLExpress) first before I could enable SQL Server (MSSQLServer), which in my case referred to SQL Server 2012.
If you want to have SQL Server Express running as a named server running alongside your default server, make sure you assign it a different port number (e.g. 1435) in the SQL Server Network Configuration>Protocols for SQL Express>TCP/IPALL section in SQL Server configuration manager.

Connect to your sql server without credentials

I created a project in visual studio and I want to use SQL Server Management Studio to see database. What should be the server name?
On connecting to sql server, it gives error:
I tried finding server name using cmd so the result was:
Note:
My sql server configuration manager doesn't contain any sql server services. I was using sql server 2012 so now I downloaded sql server 2017 but same, so services are shown.
How can I connect to sql server?
You will not be able to connect to the SQL server if the SQL Server service is not running. Once you have verified your service is running, you can use the option in the Server name to select your SQL Server Name.
Irfan.
You can connect to SQLServer with two ways:
Usually you run SQLServer instance as service and connect using server credentionals
Sqlexpress "embedded" style - connect to mdf/mdb-file. Behind the scenes it will start localdb service and attach db-file.
First way is recommended in most cases.
Run services.msc and look for sqlserver instances. If they are down - start one. If they are notexistent - rerun installation and check options.

Can't attach database to SQL Server Enterprise, needs Express?

I already have SQL Server Enterprise 2012 on my PC and the service that is running is MSSSQLSERVER (found on SQL Server Configuration manager).
I am trying to attach a database which requires SQL Server Express!
I downloaded SQLEXPR_x64_ENU and installed it, unfortunately SQLEXPRESS is not shown in my Configuration manager.
What shall I do to attach this database?
The attempts I've done:
First I tried with SQL Server Management Studio: while attaching gives this problem message:
An error occurred when attaching the database(s). Click the hyperlink in the message column for details.
and the progress box shows:
Error occurred.
While I try to add a data connection to the database in VS2012 I receive these errors:
If I use Data Source "Microsoft SQL Server" I receive this message:
The user instance login flag is not supported on this version of SQL Server. The connection will be closed.
If I use Data Source "Microsoft SQL Server Database File" and I browse the database file, I get this error message:
A network related or instance specific error occurred while establishing oa connection to sql server. the server was not found or was not accessible. verify that the instance name is correct and that sql server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Sql network interface, error 52 - unable to locate a local database runtime installation. verify that SQL Server Express is properly installed ant that the local database runtime feature is enabled)
As you see SQL Server Express is required.
If you correctly installed SQL Express on a laptop that already had the MSDN developer version, you should see two instances in the services.
MSSQLSERVER - developer version
SQLEXPRESS - express version
SQL Express does not come with services like the SQL Server agent. But it should be listed as the database engine SQL SERVER (SQLEXPRESS) under the configuration manager, SQL Server Services.
Make sure this service is started as well as the Browser service. Under network configuration, make sure TCP/IP is enabled. Under client protocols make sure TCP/IP is enabled.
Since you have the development version of SQL Server, you can connect and manager the express instance like the default instance. Just use your SSMS query window with the correct TSQL.
Here is a link on my blog on how to create a database for attach.

Please respond back if you still have issues with a screen shot or two of the settings I just discussed.

SQL Server Express usage with Pentaho (or any non-microsoft product)

I'm trying to connect a local SQL Server database to an ETL utility called Pentaho. Pentaho very easily connects to full versions of SQL server without issue.
I've set mixed mode authentication and created a sql server account for the sql server express instance that can be used to login through SSMS.
When I try to log in via Pentaho, I get errors about it not knowing what the server is, or the server not responding. I've tried {localhost, myip, localhost\SQLEXPRESS, myip\SQLEXPRESS, just SQLEXPRESS} as the server name (and SQLEXPRESS is the instance name).
I know I've had trouble connecting other programs to SQLEXPRESS databases in the past. Can someone tell me why it acts different than when using a full install of SQL Server and how I can get around these differences?
If SQL Server Express is on a different server, have you enabled TCP/IP protocol?
