WEIRD ERROR.

I am new to Microsoft SQL Server. I have installed SQL 2008.

Even when I start the SSMS with Run as Administrator, it asks me for a Server Name which otherwise gives me the error:

SQL server 2008 error:40 testing the registered server failed, new server registration.

I also tried to follow the steps to register new server name:

View-> Registered Servers-> New Server Registration-> Entered New Server name to register

But it fails to test :(

Also the new Server does not turn green or i cannot start it manually.



I also checked SQL Server Services, it is running in Configuration Manager.



I need it solved, please help
