  • Hi,

    If you open a command prompt and run:

    sqlcmd -E -S (local)\SOPHOS

    Does it connect or error?

    Is the SQL Server service for the Sophos instance started?  Typically it's called: MSSQL$SOPHOS or long name: "SQL Server (SOPHOS)".

    If it is, can you connect with either:

    sqlcmd -E -S .\SOPHOS

    or

    sqlcmd -E -S [computerName]\SOPHOS

    or

    sqlcmd -E -S [IP]\SOPHOS

    Regards,

    Jak
