SQLBrowser not working - sql-server

Let me explain my situation. So I installed a trial of SQL Server 2008. The trial ran out and I tried to go back the SQL Express install I had been use for 5 months with out an issue. I uninstall the features of Server 2008 and try to install SSMSE. I use SSMSE to change a password. I then get error 26 and trouble shoot. It turns out that SQLBrowser service for this database does not show up. I try creating a new db and I can't start the SQLBrowser for that database. I can access the database locally and run queries on it. I know that you need to start SQLBrowser for SQL Express, I can't do this if there is no service to for the setting to change or on the SQLBrowser that is there I can't start it. So what did I due to SQLBrowser and how do I fix?

Within express is not enabled by default:
Open the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration. On the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration page, click Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections. then click SQL Server Browser, click Automatic for Startup type, and then click Apply.
Now the service starts automatically every time that you start Microsoft Windows.

I have installed SQL Server and Managment Studio on laptop but server name has gone

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'm not able to open Configuration Manager for SQL Server 2008 R2 on windows 10 64- bit

There is no Configuration Manager in my apps in the start menu. I've installed SQL Server 2008 R2 on windows 10 64bit but unfortunately i'm not able to find the Configuration Manager App. I need it to use to change the server name of my SQL Server which was localhost before.enter image description here
C:\Windows\system32\SQLServerManager10.msc
By using this link still it is showing the app but it's not opening
By using this SQLSERVERMANAGER10.msc on run command window. The following picture elaboratesenter image description here the issue
Have you checked that the server is effectively running? The is the most common cause.
Launch Administrative Tools\Services and look for SQLSERVER
Also make sure the SQLSERVER Browser process is also running to enable connection discovery by client applications.

How to enable SQL Server Agent in SQL Server 2012 Express

When I try to start SQL Server Agent from SQL Server Configuration Manager
I get this error
the request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion.Consult the error log or other applicable error log for details
So how can I solve it?
Have you checked if your sqlServerAgent is running in windows admin tools / services? If it is stopped,just right click it and start it. Set also start type to automatic in next column.
The agent service is not included in the express editions of SQL Server, so it can't be enabled at all. Even though the error messages are misleading, the actual error is a licensing one. To get the agent you need to upgrade to any other edition. For just developing and testing the developer edition is the best choice.
Other than that, you can try to emulate such functionality by using the Windows task scheduler to run the SQL command line tools.

What server and login must I enter to connect to a SQL Server that was installed together with Visual Studio 2013?

I am just learn C# from Java and now struggling with sql server
i usually use mysql with phpmyadmin
i use windows 7
i already install Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition, in control panel program and feature there is some name with sql server
i try to search the answer in google for 3 days & download many youtube tutorial. but still confuse what to do.
My goal :
i try to create ms sql database like i do in phpmyadmin
i dont want to create local database, i try to create database in server (the server sit in localhost)
heres what i do :
in visual studio 2013 - server explorer tab, i right click in data
connections
then select Create New Sql Server Database
dialog show up and my question :
What value i must put in Server Name
If i select radio button Use SQL Server Authentication. what value i
must put in username and password. (when installing visual
studio, it don't tell me anything)
thank, forgive my english
EDIT :
i already install management studio from here. At installing, it dont tell me any configuration.
Using SSMS i still can't create database, i already try :
via Windows Authentication with servername : 127.0.0.1 or localhost
via SQL Server Authentication with username : sa, password :
[empty], or Password123, or [myComputerPassword]
i already try uninstall & install Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition & SQL Server 2014 Management Studio multiple time in different PC. But it dont tell me any configuration when installing.
based on my newbie feeling : (maybe) it look like installation don't create instance server
here's my control panel look like :
Unless SQL Server was installed with non-default settings, the following connection parameters should allow you to connect to your (locally installed) SQL Server instance:
Password: chances are that SQL Server was installed with SQL Server authentication disabled. Try to log in with the option Integrated Authentication or Integrated Security enabled, then you won't even have the option to enter a username and password.
Server: try these in the following order:
.\SQLEXPRESS (which stands for "instance named SQLEXPRESS on the local host, .")
. (which stands for "(instance with default name on the) local host")
(localdb)
Basically, the server name consists of up to three parts: First, the network host on which the desired SQL Server service is running (the local host or . in your case), the name of the SQL Server service after a \ (often MSSQLSERVER or SQLSERVER, the first of which you can omit because it's the default name), and a network port on which the SQL Server service is listening (you can often omit that, too).
You can find out your SQL Server's service name from Administrative Tools → Services. Locate the entry for the SQL Server service and note down the name in the parentheses; that's what will go after the .\ in the server name:
You usually get a local or express version of Sql Server installed when you install Visual Studio.
You can however..go a little further.
Sql Server Express 2014 (You may already have this installed based on what you chose during the install)
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/dn434042.aspx
Sql Server 2012 Express
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29062
Under the 2012, you'll also note that one of the downloads is
SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe
This is "Sql Server Management Studio". This is a front-end to the Sql Server RDBMS. You could do most things through Visual Studio, but I usually install SSMS as well. SSMS is kinda the same thing as MySql Workbench.
You can also write scripts and execute them in SSMS.
You security mode is probably "Trusted" which means you connect to Sql Server using your windows credentials. This was auto-voodoo'ed mapped for you when you did the install.
Sql Authentication (the alternative to Trusted) is the username/password model. This takes extra setup and configuration (usually through SSMS), so your easiest bet is to rely on "Trusted" unless you find a need for something else.
I hope that helps.

Cube Deployment failed in BIDS

So I've been doing a project at my university with BIDS and a database on their servers. I've managed to back up the database and put it on my local machine.
Problem right now is I've installed SQL Server 2008 + BIDS through SQL Server 2008 Express Edition. Now I've heard it doesn't include SQL Server Analysis Service, meaning I can't deploy the cube.
I've tried deploying the project on my home computer but it gives me the error.
Error 23 The project could not be deployed to the 'my computer
name\SQLEXPRESS' server because of the following connectivity problems :
A connection cannot be made to redirector. Ensure that 'SQL Browser' service
is running. To verify or update the name of the target server, right-click on
the project in Solution Explorer, select Project Properties, click on the
Deployment tab, and then enter the name of the server.
I've checked and SQL browser service is definitely running so I'm not sure what else to try. Is there any way for me to successfully deploy the cube?
I think its authentication issue for your current user connecting to SQLEXPRESS. Try using "Runas /user:[domain]\[user] "Path to BIDS" to run BIDS as privileged user and try windows authentication.
