SQL Server Configuration Manager: Connect to another computer

  • Статия

Applies to: SQL Server

This article describes how to connect to another computer in SQL Server. Follow the first procedure to open the Windows Computer Management Microsoft Management Console (mmc), connect to the computer, and expand the Services and Applications tree. Follow the second procedure to create a file with a link to the SQL Server Configuration Manager on a remote computer.

Note

Some actions can't be performed by Configuration Manager when connecting remotely.

To start, stop, pause, or resume services on another computer, you can also connect to the server with SQL Server Management Studio, right-click the server or SQL Server Agent and then select the desired action.

  9. Expand Computer Management (<computer name>), and Services and Applications.

  10. Right-click SQL Server Configuration Manager, and then select New Window from here.

  11. On the Window menu, select Console Root, to switch back to the first window, and delete the window.

  12. On the File menu, select Save As, and save the file in the desired folder, with an appropriate name with the .msc file extension. Close the Microsoft Management Console.

  13. To open SQL Server Configuration Manager on the target computer, double-click the file. If desired, save a link to the file on the desktop or in the Start menu.

Caution

When using SQL Server Configuration Manager on a remote computer, the computer name isn't obvious and it's possible to mistakenly stop or configure the wrong computer. On the Service tab, check the Host Name box to confirm the computer name before modifying a service.
