This http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15230581/cant-get-sql-server-to-start-or-connect-to-my-local-database-engine-through-ssm coincided with my having to power the laptop off during a Windows update because it appeared to be hanging (I don't know if these two are related). Since then I have: Gone back to a restore point before the failed update Removed SQL Server 2008 from my machine Installed SQL Server 2012 onto my machine. This failed during the load Removed everything that was labelled SQL Server from my machine Redone the failed Windows updates Installed SQL Server 2012 which again failed on load Created a self-signed certificate (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753127(v=WS.10).aspx) Tried to start SQL Server from both Services and SSCM with no luck Tried various log on options for SQL Server - under the local system the service will start but I still can't connect to the database engine in SSMS Read endless posts and articles Can anyone help me get SQL Server started on my machine, then connect to the database engine using SSMS?

it is not possible to create a self-signed certificate." Posted on February 11, 2012 by Brent Anderson Nutshell solution: Generate a self-signed certificate and plug it into SQL http://www.beejblog.com/2012/02/sql-server-solved-unable-to-initialize.html Server Configuration Manager > SQL Server Network Configuration > Protocols for {instance_name} > Properties > Certificate > Certificate I read through dozens of folks wrestling with this issue and various suggested remedies (reinstalling, sysprep, etc) yet I found none addressing the certificate error directly in this way … so it seems worth getting this message out there. Cause: For me, my SQL Server 2008 R2 fallback certificate (v10.50.1600.1) install went wonky (ran into some group policy brick walls) and somehow the default self-signed certificate must've gotten wiped out. Interestingly, on other servers where the install ran without issue, this certificate entry is also blank… so that tells me we’re fortunate SQL Server is able to utilize this new one we throw in. One straightforward way to generate self-signed certs is with failed with error "SelfSSL.exe" from the IIS 6.0 Resource Kit Tools. Here's example command line usage: SelfSSL /N:CN={database server name} /V:1999999 If you're not familiar with certs, the name must match the name of the machine exactly, or it won’t show up in SQL Server Configuration Manager’s certificate drop down list!… this name should be the “FQDN” (Fully Qualified Domain Name)… typically the “Full Computer Name” as listed under Control Panel > System. The /v option is the #days the cert is valid for… through empirical study I believe 1999999 is the max allowed… that currently pushes expiration out to the year 7487, which will hopefully last ya 😉 SelfSSL often spews “Error opening metabase: 0x80040154” … This would probably be bad news if you wanted to use this certificate for IIS SSL but apparently it’s not a factor for SQL Server SSL. One can examine the certificates that have been generated this way by launching mmc.exe, adding the Certificates snap in, selecting “Computer account” and looking at the “Personal” certificate store. In a blatant attempt to cast a wide net on search hits , here’s a typical log that’ll be spewed along wit
