How to install SQL Server Configuration Manager for Microsoft SQL 2008 Express
We have SQL2008 installed in a Windows 8 and when we went to find SQL Server Configuration Manager to enable remote network connections, we couldn't find.

Also, we ran the version script for your refrence, the result is:

You have to check the Management Tools - Basic in order to get the Management Stdio for Express.
I don't think you need to use any configuration manager for remote connection. Just make sure that the firewall is open for port 1433 on both in and out.

We have sp2 installed and the DB works fine, but will proceed to install sp3
Yes, Vitor, that is what we understand that the manager is installed along with the engine.
Ok, will try the sp3.
