Coming from question SQL Server 2008 connection tagged under sql-server-2008-express

Chris S wrote in SQL Server 2008 R2 vs. SQL Server 2008 R2 Express:

  • "The biggest different I see others have missed is that Express does not accept network connections (only local ones)"

I am having difficulties to find reference where is it written. Can you give me one?

What are "network connections (only local ones)" - on the same network, in the same AD, inside the same developing machine? Can they be from the same workgroup Windows computer?

Wow, -4 in a minute! Thanks for downvoting. But I am missing the point from this anonymous guidance - what is the message. Express can or not be connected remotely? – WebMAOhist Aug 29 '10 at 4:03
I case others can't find the Answer he's referring to, I delete it as it was wrong; I had been misinformed. – Chris S♦ Sep 1 '10 at 17:37

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

It's not anywhere because you can access SQL server express from the network. It's just not turned on by default, you need to enable network connections manually.

It is the same in any edition of MS SQL Server – WebMAOhist Aug 29 '10 at 3:52
No. It started I think with 2008 ;) Older versions have it on by default ;) – TomTom Aug 29 '10 at 8:57
