Hello Community
I am trying to install SQL Server 2008 R2 but I want provide a named instance. The named
instance should be "DeptServer".
The problem is that where the instance name goes there isn't enough space to
include the server name. For example my SQL Server name should be "SQLServer1" but
my instance name as I stated is "DeptServer".
So when I am trying to install SQL Server I try to type: "SQLServer1\DeptServer"
so that I know my server instance from other server instances after other instances are installed but the textbox that
I enter the name into doesn't except that many characters.
What I am asking is how can I enter the <Server name> and the instance name when
I install SQL Server using SQL Server 2008 R2?
Thank you
