I install SQL server 2014 Enterprise on my Laptop. It was working fine at first with automatic start of SQL server Service and Agent.
But now in order to login I have to start the service manually, although on configuration manager and services.mcs it shows that it is set to start automatically.
I tried even excluding the SQL server installation path from bitdefender but nothing seems to work
Help will be much appreciated
Check the SQL Server error log for related messages. The latest file is named errorlog (no extension) is located in the Log subfolder of the installation path. Older log files have a numbered extension.
The error log files can also be viewed from the SQL Server Management Studio Object Explorer under SQL Server Logs. This also allows you to view Windows Event Log messages that may be related.
If you need help resolving the errors, add the messages to your question.

I am trying to setup group policy to exclude SQL Server updates from being installed automatically. I found information pointing to a SQL Server administrative template that would be useful in this instance. I tried the below URL that I was able to find but was hit with a 404 File not found error.
download.microsoft.com/download/5/F/2/5F27DDF5-5C1C-4F5F-8B11-70D12A8825E5/SQLServer2019.ADMX
Does anyone know where I can find the administrative templates for any version of SQL Server 2016 or later?
I tried searching Microsoft's download center for SQL Server Administrative Templates but could not find anything except Windows Server (which do not include SQL Server admx files.
After installing SQL Server 2019 & SSRS 2019 developer editions, I am not able to use the object explorer in SSMS to connect to SSRS. (I am also unable to use a web address to open SSRS currently due to my security software.) I think the reason I can't use SSMS is due to one or more of the following:
an error in installation
problems with older version files still left on the computer
an error in using the report server configuration manager
the rsreportserver.config file not getting properly updated.
Before installing 2019 developer editions, I have installed and tried to uninstall most versions since 2012, including 2019 express & evaluation. When I tried to install 2019 evaluation software, I created a new db engine (MSSQLSERVER02) while installing SQL Server. After I installed SSRS, I used the report server configuration manager to use this new engine as the database). This tested correctly. I opened up SSMS & connected to this db engine. When I tried to go to SSRS, the only option was a previous db engine (MSSQLSERVER01). Though I put the new name in the config mgr, there still existed an rsreportserver.config file which had the old db engine (MSSQLSERVER01) and a coded database name.
When I uninstalled the eval ed., then installed the dev versions, I still had the same problem with the old db engine (MSSQLSERVER01) name appearing. When I chose the older db option, I get a lengthy error:
Cannot connect to LAPTOP-999999\MSSQLSERVER01. Unable to connect to the server at LAPTOP-999999\MSSQLSERVER01. The specified URL might not be valid or there might be a problem with the report server version or configuration. Specify a different URL, or contact your server administrator to verify that the report server runs SQL Server 2008 or later. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient)
When I type the the new db engine (MSSQLSERVER03) over the old, I get an error: "TITLE: LAPTOP-999999\MSSQLSERVER03 cannot be found.The Reporting Services instance could not be found. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient)
I also tried putting in the web address into the server name (suggested by DeanOC in a similar question).
Any direction on what to do next would be greatly appreciated!
thanks,

The other week I installed the latest version of SQL Server and Management Studio. In the Server Name box was a long name made up of some path and other parts however it has now disappeared and reading all these answers has not helped. I downloaded two backups of databases from a live server and restored them down here. I could access them and everything was fine until the server name disappeared and I have no idea (none of the ones on here work) how to get it back.
If I try localhost, 127.1.1.0 or . as the server name it doesn't work the error I get is:
A network or instance-specific occurred whilst establishing connection to SQL Server....Provider: Named Pipes Provider, error 40- could not open connection to SQL Server
If I go into services I only have SQL Server Browser and SQL Server VSS Writer. Under Browser it is disabled. If I start it or tell it to start on delayed or manual or just start it, it starts okay and then two seconds later its stopped again with no error message.
If I got to CMD and type (under) I get (under that)
C:\Windows\system32>SQLCMD -L
Servers:
;UID:Login ID=?;PWD:Password=?;Trusted_Connection:Use Integrated Security=?;
*APP:AppName=?;*WSID:WorkStation ID=?;
No list of servers which another answer suggested.
I cannot find under services a MS SQL Service for some reason.
Everything was working fine the last time I came to do some work on this so I don't know if some virus was detected that removed the service or something.
I had two databases to connect to and run queries against and try to get a Windows Service working again locally but I can't get the DB to work.
I am on Windows 8.1 64bit laptop with enough diskspace.
If I go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\LocalDB\Binn and double click sqlservr.exe, I get the error
Your SQL Server Installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with (Error getting Instance ID from name) Please uninstall then re-run setup to correct this problem.
Is it a case of me having to uninstall Management Studio and restarting again? I don't know what could have corrupted it but I need it working.
Should I just use the SQL Server 2017 Configuration Server to see if that can fix it or do I need to delete whole directories or "uninstall" from "programs and features" and try to install it again?
Still have no scooby to why the server name disappeared in the first place. Anyone got a clue?
SQL Server should appear in Services (you should not start it by double-clicking sqlservr.exe). If it doesn't appear anymore, you should reinstall SQL Server. After that you may attach the MDF and LDF files of your user databases, if they are still available (but in your case, you can also restore the backups again).
It seems your SQL server is not installed properly or corrupted now.
If the SQL Server installs on any machine there is a service named 'Sql Server(MSSQLSERVER)' or similar must be there and in 'Running' mode to connect to the database.
I've inherited the job of maintaining an application which uses a local SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 Express database as a back-end. I successfully installed the application some months back after upgrading to Windows 10 so that I could start testing and development, but after reformatting recently, I've been unable to get the database running. I'm using the exact same installer, and so far as I can tell, everything else configuration-wise is the same, with the exception that I'm now on a newer W10 insider build.
The application installer installs SQL Server 2008 R2 with the following parameters:
/TCPENABLED=1 /ACTION="INSTALL" /SQLSVCSTARTUPTYPE="automatic"
/SECURITYMODE="SQL" /SAPWD="password" /INSTANCENAME="app"
/FEATURES=SQLENGINE,REPLICATION /BROWSERSVCSTARTUPTYPE="Automatic"
/SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS
/INDICATEPROGRESS /QS
The installer is built using Advanced Installer, and is configured to run a database setup script after installation has completed, but when it reaches this step the database times out and the install fails. To test the database I tried using a UDL file, and though the database itself is visible, when I attempt to test the connection I get
"Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider.
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or
access denied."
I've tried absolutely everything I can think of to fix this problem. I've removed all traces of every version of SQL Server from my computer, purged the registry of any remaining keys, and deleted any remaining directories. I've checked and restarted all SQL services, tried different SQL service accounts, different versions of the SQL installer, ran the installer(s) as an administrator, ran them in compatibility mode, and checked log files. I haven't found anything helpful on StackOverflow or on Advanced Installer's forums. Nothing's worked, and I'm completely out of ideas at this point.
According the MS only SQL server 2012 SP2 and up are compatible with Windows 10.
You might try this instruction to install SQL express 2008 R2, but I never tried it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUCbvfFEO34
Previously, I had downloaded SQL Server 2008 R2 Express with Advanced Service (so that it includes SQL Server Management Studio). Now I want to uninstall this application. When I attempted to perform this, I received the following error:
SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 Database Engine Shared
The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'sql_engine_core_shared.msi' in the box below.
The sql_engine_core_shared.msi cannot be found anywhere on my machine. Does anyone have any suggestions? Have done a lot of searching with no success. TIA.
This is the original exe that I had downloaded, and when it starts it unpacks a bunch of files into a GUID-named folder on the C drive:
SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe
At some point later this file is deleted, which is why I could no longer find the required MSI file. So all I did to resolve the issue was start that exe, then copy all the files in that directory to a different location so they don't get deleted. Then, when I run the installer, and that dialog comes up I pointed the directory to my backup location and the uninstall completed successfully, e.g.,
C:\MySqlServerInstallBackup\1033_enu_lp\x64\setup
HTH.
