Open Enterprise Manager from the Programming\Microsoft SQL Server section of the Start menu. Expand the Microsoft SQL Servers node Right-click on SQL Server Group and select New SQL Server Registration… Click Next >. The Available servers: textbox already contains the name of the computer you are using. Simply append the text \VSSQLSERVER to the end of that name, so you end up with something like CS1234567890AB\VSSQLSERVER. Click Add >, then click Next >. Select the default, The Windows account information… and click Next >. Click Next > again and click Finish. That’s it. You should now be able to manage the local MSDE instance using SQL Server Enterprise Manager. You’ll need to repeat this procedure for each new machine you log on to.
