How do I find database server's name?

Jim
Just installed MSDE on computer and am trying to
activate the Northwind database.
When I make an entry for "Select or enter a
server name:" should I use something like
(local)\MSSQLServer, where (local)
specifies the machine's name? Or more
to the point, how do I determine the
name of the server?

If you have not given MSDE instance a name (the default installation
does not let you specify a name), you should be able to access your
instance with:
- .
- (local)
- machine name

Appart from MSDE, do you have any SQL Server running on your PC?

Hope it helps!
