2008 R2 Browser Service Disabled

    I went to start the browser service and I am unable to do so b/c the Start option is grayed out. I've been looking around as to why that option is unavailable but have been unsuccessful.

    Any thoughts?

    TIA

    I think the answer is in your question.

    the service has been disabled, it needs to be set to manual or automatic before you can start it. Check under properties.

    Can you tell which other SQL services are up and running?

    Thanks for the replies.

    I was looking in the SQL Server Configuration manager where you can't enable that service so I wasn't sure. I did enable it through Windows Services though.

    I've jumped from 2000 to 2008 R2 and there are some big changes so I'm fumbling through some of the new features. Now that it's installed it's time to really start reading about it.

    Thank you for the help.

    SQL Server Configuration manager --> SQL Server services --> SQL server browser --> right click --> properties --> service tab --> start mode --> change to manual or automatic
