SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 has no Configuration Manager - sql-server

Where is the configuration manager for SQL Express 2005? I need to configure SQL Server for TCP/IP but there is no configuration manager with the package. I see SQL Server Database Publishing Wizard, I see SQL Server Migration Assistant for Access, but no Configuration Manager. According to the MSDN, there should be one. I've even looked online for a download of the Configuration Manager for SQL Server 2005, but could not find one. Did I miss something in the download or should I just scrap SQL Server Express and download the full-blown SQL Server for Developers?

My SQL Server 2005 Express Configuration Manager shortcut launches:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\mmc.exe /32 "C:\WINDOWS\system32\SQLServerManager.msc"
If you don't have the start menu shortcuts, try running that from the run menu/command prompt. Check in the C:\WINDOWS\system32\ folder to make sure the SQLServerManager.msc file exists.

This might be what you are looking for. I have used it with SQL Server Express 2005 although I am not sure if it configures the specific things you want to change and I just now verified that it does provide access to the communications options.

It should be installed as part of your SQL Express 2005 installation. Perhaps you arent looking at the right place. In a typical installation, you will find the configuration manager in here (word may not match as I just typed in as I can remember)
Start -> Program -> Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -> Configuration Tool -> Configuration Manager

Try installing this "SQL Server 2005 service pack 3"
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/bb895958
It installs lots of utilities including the configuration manager.
I encountered this same issue with a particular machine (cuz usually -with other machines- it gets installed with normal SQL EXPRESS 2005 installer)

Missing Integration Services Catalog in Management Studio

I have SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3 standard edition installed. I access remote to the server where SQL Server is installed. The option of the integration services catalog is missing under the database connection.
I did check the followings
I have the role sysadmin when I log in SQL Server
The service of integration services is installed and running.
The installation of the management studio is complete
I am missing the Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services when I run the Dcomcnfg.exe under Services, Computers, My Computer, and DCOM Config. Weird I am missing this. I wanted to find this to give appropriate permissions, but can't since the node is not there.
Any ideas? Help!
That's because you're using SSMS 2008. The Integration Services Catalog was introduced with SQL Server 2012. The older client doesn't know that's a "thing."
I prefer to manage servers with the latest and greatest version of SSMS which is now a free download.
Microsoft® SQL Server® 2014
Choose "MgmtStudio 32BIT\SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe"
For clarification
Integration Services Catalog
Integration Services Object Explorer
I had the same problem, Integration Server Catalog is invisible
This is my solution:
Check your installation edition of SQL Server.
How to check? right click on the node of (SQL Server...) on SSMS - click properties - in "general" check the "product" name.
If you still use "SQL Server Developer Edition", some features will not available.
the solution is download SQL Server Enterprise Edition.
I have no idea for Standard Edition, but maybe you can also use Enterprise Edition.
This is link for download : download SQL Server 2014
Click setup.exe to install and choose New SQL Server Stand-alone Installation select the feature you need. I think you can also select Integration Services in Feature Selection.. then fill the instance name and instance ID. continue the installation process until complete.
Open SQL Server Management Studio. Database Engine connection -> Server Name: (Server Name) / (Instance ID)
You will see the Integration Server Catalog. In the picture bellow, you can compare the display between SQL Server Developer Edition (above) & SQL Server Enterprise Edition (bottom with instance name).
I hope it can help..
Final result:
I got same issue and i have installed SSMS 17.0 and now i am able to create the SSISDB catalog with encryption password.
It's working as expected.

SQL Server 2008 all services running, but Network Configuration is empty

I found somthing strange in my SQL Server 2008. I did a full installation of the sql server, after that I found from sql server configuration manager, all the services are running, but the sql server network configuration is empty, this cause remote pc cannot access the sql server database. Cannot figure out what happens.
Sorry I don't have enough reputation to post picture.
Can anybody advise me? thanks.
Please check this link, which suggest that it seems you have installed a version that doesn't compatible with target OS,
Sql Server Network Configuration Protocols Not Available
or something wrong installation like 32 bit, 64 bit.
Before this ,please check this option too.
Are you able to connect sqlserver by SSMS(Sqlserver management studio)(if you installed).
Please check several things.
Window + Run , type SERVICES.MSC & enter. Now search all service of SqlServer in name column, it is in running mode, if not then run all except SqlServer Integrated Service (if you not using this feature).
Go to Configuration Manager, there is sqlServerExpress.
--go to sqlserver 2008 option , expand there is & enable first 3 only.
I faced a similar issue when I installed a (second) named instance of SQL server (2016). The default instance is also running on SQL server 2016.
2 things to check:
If you have installed 64bit SQL server, the "SQL Network Configuration (32bit)" section will be empty. You will have to check under "SQL Network Configuration" --- (without the 32bit indication)
In mycase, the "SQL Network Configuration" --- (without the 32bit indication) was not showing up as an option. I was able to see only "SQL Network Configuration (32bit)" which was empty and "SQL Network Configuration" was missing.
I did some research and then realised that earlier this server hosted SQL server 2017 instance which was uninstalled after which the 2 X 2016 instances were installed. The server still had the 2017 components like SSMS (sql server management studio) , sscm (sql server configuration manager) etc., I had opened the SQL server configuration manager of 2017 where as my instances are running on SQL server 2016. Later I manually opened SQL server configuration manager (2016) which had "SQL Network Configuration" as expected.
Hope this helps.

Unable to login to sql server

I dont know much about sql server.
I have just re-installed windows 7 on my laptop. After that I installed Visual Studio 2012 Express Edition. I also Installed SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2.
Now when I try to log in to sql server management studio by using server name as . or (local) or .\SQLEXPRESS or PC-Name\SQLEXPRESS and using Windows Authentication I get the error as below.
Please dont mark this question as negative as I have searched on google for last 4 hours but did not understand the problem.
Update:
There are many reasons that may cautioning the problem:
SQL Server is not running
SQL Server is not properly configured
You try to connect with a worng instance Name
You can try the following:
Go to Mycomputer->Rigt Click->Manage->Application and Services
And from there check that SQL Server Express is running
2.From there also, gCheck the Instance name of your SQL Express and be sure when you log on to Management Studio you Provide the same Instance name
Confirm that the service is installed and running. Under Computer Management, drill-down into Services and Applications -> Services.
There should be a service named "SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)". Try a restart or start of the service.
If any other instance of SQL Server is installed it will be listed - try connecting to LOCALHOST(whatever the instance is listed as) to verify the installation is functional.
UPDATED following further information from comments:
You may have only installed the client tools (management studio), and have not installed the database service. Ensure you have the correct installer which includes the database services engine.
First check that the SQL Server parameters are set accordingly.
Go to Start -
All Programs — Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 — Configuration tools —
SQL Server Configuration Manager
Under SQL Server Services, make sure that the instance is running :
SQL Server ()
SQL Server Browser
Under SQL Server Network Configuration - Protocols for (), these are enabled:
TCP/IP
Named Pipes
Do the same under SQL Native Client 10.0 under Client Protocols

Installing full text feature for Sql Server (compatibility issue)

I have Ms Sql Server Express 2005 currently installed. I need to install the "Sql Server Express with Advanced Services" from Microsoft, found here (in order to enable full-text search feature):
http://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/pd/SQLEXPCTAV2/enus/default.aspx
Problem is: the "Express with advanced services" component is from 2012, and my Ms Sql Server is from 2005. Are they compatible? Do I risk messing up the Sql Server installation if I run this service?
I'm very short of time and I don't want to mess up my installation and have to reinstall.
Thank you!
Installing Express with Advanced Services will install a new instance of SQL Server. Compatibility won't matter because only the new Express instance will have Full-Text capability and your existing SQL Server 2005 instance won't be able to use it. What you probably want to do is install Full-Text for the instance you already have installed - you can do this through Add/Remove Programs for the existing SQL Server 2005 instance (assuming you still have the install media for SQL Server 2005), which will call up the Installation Center where you can choose to add features to an existing instance.

No services listed when SQL Server Express 2008 R2 Installed on local computer

I cannot get my local computer to run SQL Server. I looked in the SQL Server configuration manager and noticed that there are no SQL Server Services listed. That can't be right. I also noticed that There are two Managers listed in the SysWOW64 folder (I'm running Win7): SQLServerManager10.msc and SQLServerManager.msc. Neither show any services at all. When trying to connect via SSMSE, I get the standard:
A network related or instance specific error occurred while establishing a
connection to SQL server...
I haven't installed a prior version, but did try to uninstall and reinstall using the Web platform installer from Microsoft. Any suggestions?
Thanks
I had the same problem and as Brian said, I was missing SQL Server Express. So I download SQL Server 2008 R2 Express and I installed it. now everything works fine.
Note that I thought I already installed it when I installed SQL Management Studio R2. Now, be aware that when installing SQL Management Studio R2, you are not installing SQL Server and you won't get any SQL Server Services in your Sql Server Configuration Manager -> SQL Server Services. You also need to download and install SQL Server Express.
Is SQL Server listed in services? (Start->Run->Services.msc)
If so, is it running?
That is an instance error, meaning you cannot connect to the instance. Most likely there is no instance installed on this machine. Meaning your not connecting correctly to the instance. Connect to the database engine again and check the server name and make sure your connecting to the correct server name or the local host, depending if this is a local machine or if this is on a server. Go back through setup and see if there are any features that didn't get installed. Try that and see if it works. If not then reinstall SQL Server and make sure all folders are removed and nothing is left behind before you reinstall.
