I want to use SQL Server 2005 Express edition as a database for my thesis, but I have a few problems setting it up. I installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, SQL 2005 Service Pack 3 (SP3), and Sql Server Management Studio Express.
I opened the Surface Area Sql Server 2005 configuration by clicking on Surface. Service and Connection Configuration> Remote Connections> Local and Remote Connections> Only using TCP / IP. To enable TCP and IP connections, but when I click ok, I get the error message "Alter failed. (Microsoft.SqlServer.smo)", then under the additional information it says: "SetEnable could not execute the server protocol" TCP "(Microsoft .SqlServer.smo) "and under that t says" Access is denied (System.management).
What could be the problem? Hmm, I'm working on an ACER ASPIRE ONE laptop. Do you think that a laptop does not have the ability to be a SQL Server database server, why does it have this error message? My OS is Windows 7 btw.
