How can I troubleshoot connection issues in SQL Server Management Studio?
First, check if the SQL Server service is running. You can do this by going to Services and looking for SQL Server.
What if the service is running but I still can't connect?
In that case, verify your connection string, including the server name and authentication method. Also, check firewall settings.
I checked everything, but I still get a timeout error.
Timeout errors can occur due to network issues. Try pinging the server or using SQLCMD to see if you can connect via command line.
Thanks! That helps a lot. What should I do if I still can't connect?
If you're still having issues, consider checking the SQL Server logs for any error messages that might provide more insight.
