Server Name is blank on fresh installation of SQL Server 2014
-
This sounds like you're opening SSMS (SQL Server management studio), which depending on the version you've installed could well be a standalone application.
Do you have an application called SQL Server 2014 Configuration Manager installed? (I assume 2014, as that's the forum you have posted in).

if you've installed SQL locally, there are aliases you can use, but you can also see what is installed and running.
if you go to start>>Run>>services.msc
it will open your services, if you scroll alphabetically, you should see SQL Server; you may see one that ends in MSSQLSERVER , or a specific name:
if it is MSSQLSERVER , you can connect by putting in any of the following:
. (yes a single period)
(local)
YourLaptopName
127.0.0.1if it named, you need to append the name on there:
.\SQLExpress
\(local)\SQLExpress
YourLaptopName\SQLExpress
127.0.0.1\SQLExpressLowell

Thanks guys,
Lowell, I just realized that MSSQLSERVER was not running when I launched services. The server name now appears in the Database engine.
Appreciate the help!!Corey
