    Hi, I tried this code, it doesn't throw any error. But still the SQL server Configuration manager shows, disabled. Could you help! Best Regards, DHAKCHINA MOORTHY.C

    I too have been trying this.  But TCP/IP remains disabled. Trying different wrong server names crashes my code... which implies I am using the right server name. Don't know why it isn't working.

    Wait, I think I figured it out. Calling the Alter method on ServiceProtocol object after making the change worked for me. Wmi.ManagedComputer mc = new Wmi.ManagedComputer(); Wmi.ServerProtocol sp = mc.ServerInstances["SQLEXPRESS"].ServerProtocols["Tcp"].IsEnabled = true; sp.Alter();
