After installing SQL Server 2008, I cannot find the SQL Server Configuration Manager in Start / SQL Server 2008 / Configuration Tools menu.

If you happen to be using Windows 8 and up, here's how to get to it:

  • The newer Microsoft SQL Server Configuration Manager is a snap-in for the Microsoft Management Console program.

  • It is not a stand-alone program as used in the previous versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems.

  • SQL Server Configuration Manager doesn’t appear as an application when running Windows 8.

  • To open SQL Server Configuration Manager, in the Search charm, under Apps, type:

    SQLServerManager15.msc for [SQL Server 2019] or

    SQLServerManager14.msc for [SQL Server 2017] or

    SQLServerManager13.msc for [SQL Server 2016] or

    SQLServerManager12.msc for [SQL Server 2014] or

    SQLServerManager11.msc for [SQL Server 2012] or

    SQLServerManager10.msc for [SQL Server 2008], and then press Enter.

Text kindly reproduced from SQL Server Configuration Manager changes in Windows 8
