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?

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.
