Problem
In Windows 8.1, i can't find Configuration manager of SQL Server 2008R2. I have already followed the steps as specified in this question. But Configuration manager is not showing up even after entering 'SQLServerManager10.msc' in Search. Please let me know how to achieve it.
Solution
Here's where I found it:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\SQLServerManager10.msc
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174212(v=sql.130).aspx
NOT pleased with this note:
"Because SQL Server Configuration Manager is a snap-in for the Microsoft Management Console program and not a stand-alone program, SQL Server Configuration Manager does not appear as an application in newer versions of Windows." Meaning it's basically undiscoverable by new DBA's. Glad I got in before Windows 8.
