Browse All TopicsHi, I've just installed SQL Server 2008 with advanced services. It all installs smoothly.
When I go in to the Management Studio I see no SQL databases.
I used the option "New SQL Server stand-alone installation" from the Installation Center.
The discovery report says the following:
Sql Server 2008 Management Tools - Basic 1033 Express Edition 10.0.1600.22
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
