SQL Server 2008 SQL Browser Service

  • We installed SQL Server 2008 Standard SP3.

    When we installed we did not choose the box for SQL Brower and I can not enable it.

    Can I simple rerun the SQL Server Setup and add it????

    Do you see it in configuration manager or services? Not sure what you mean by trying to enable it - where are you trying to enable it from?

    SQL server Browser program is installed by default with SQL server  installation at path -C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared\sqlbrowser.exe.
    Check if above sqlbrowser file exists or not?
    if exists then you can start service using beow command -

    <drive>\<path>\sqlbrowser.exe -c
