Home Forums SQL Server 2005 Administering Missing green arrow on the sql server icon in object explore RE: Missing green arrow on the sql server icon in object explore

  • I really don't want this thread sink in vain like all others that I can find from Google.

    I used the 'sa' account and SQL Server authentication to connection from my workstation to the server and I believe 'sa' has sufficient privilege to start, stop or restart the SQL Server service.

    I also tried remote desktop the server directly, log on to SSMS by 'sa' again and the green arrow appears fine.

    Bazinga!
