   Gene Wirchenko to All   
   Odd Server Name on Connection List   
   07 Oct 11 14:55:15

   Dear SQLers:   
      
        I have a Windows 7 box.  I installed Denali on it, and I just   
   installed SQL Server 2008 Express SP 3, presumably 64-bit thoughI was   
   not asked.   
      
     1) There is but one SSMS: the one for Denali.  From it, I can get   
   into the 2008 instance.  At least, I can view the names of the   
   databases in it.  (I have not tried to go further.)  This seemed odd   
   at first.  Is it OK?  I would have thought that a permanent version   
   would have more rank.   
      
     2) The list of server names has two entries for   
   db2.srv.host-it.co.uk.  What is this?  It is not anything that I   
   (knowingly) added.  How did the entries get there?  Has my system been   
   hacked?   
      
        There is not much on this system so if I had to nuke it, I could   
   (and probably should to get in some practice).   
      
   Sincerely,   
      
   Gene Wirchenko
