    Hi Jeff,

    All you get is access to the service manager when you've installed it. The
    option to browse for servers isn't often able to do that for a variety of
    reasons. Try entering the name of your system into the dropdown in the ODBC
    configuration rather than browsing for it. If you've used an instance name
    (don't see one in your command line), enter it as well eg
    computername\instancename

    BTW, you seem to be providing an SA password but not setting up SQL
    authentication. Might want to add SECURITYMODE=SQL

    HTH,

Taskpane icon and can turn the service on and off. When I use Data Sources
(ODBC) in the Control Panel, choose Add, then select SQL Server, the Server
dropdown doesn't get populated (although it takes about 30 seconds thinking
about it).
