I have a problem with thw SQL Server.

I have installed a sql 2008 server and it worked fine but later i changed the computer name (netdom renamecomputer...) in order to install an Active Directory too but now I can't connect to the Sql Server.

When I try to connect in the DataBase Engine of Sql Server Managemet Studio I can see the server name, but when I select it, an error raises (Cannot Connect to XXXXX).

I have gone to Sql Server Configuration Manager and i have seen that the Services are stopped and i cannot start those services because the services throwing a not respond error.



Someone can help me?

Have you tried connecting using the IP address?
