Need some help. I may have crashed the instance.

  • So I am working on testing the script I wrote since there were couple of databases we had in "suspect" mode. So I ended up writing a script which executes every 15 minutes on all servers and looks for any databases that are in "suspect" mode. Just to test this, I am following this

    http://www.sqlskills.com/blogs/paul/creating-detaching-re-attaching-and-fixing-a-suspect-database/. So now I am not able to login at all and getting the error "Network related or instance specified error. This is a test environment and has about 5 databases. When I open up configuration manager, I don't see the service running. Can I get some help on what to do?

  • Start the service?

    You can check the previous error log to see why it stopped

    And verify it's set to start Automatically instead of Manually.
