Home Forums SQL Server 2005 SQL Server Express How do I configure a named instance in SQL EXPRESS 2008 R2? RE: How do I configure a named instance in SQL EXPRESS 2008 R2?

  • Good question, Paul. I think I may have gotten the wrong download. I just checked and the name of the download is SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe, and it's about 156MB in size. I thought I was getting what I needed; I want the SQL Express engine and a management tool. The Advanced looked like it came with the SDK, which I thought wouldn't hurt. Perhaps I have gotten the wrong download, I'll take a look at the link you provided.
