After connecting to SQL Server using SQL Server Management Studio, I am not able to see the green play arrow on the SQL Server DB icon before the instance name. It just shows white circle.
Resolution
Make sure that the Windows account with which you opened SQL Server Management studio have got admin privilege on the operating system and can retrieve service running status.
In Windows 2008, Even if your account has admin privilege on the OS, you need to run SSMS (for SQL Server 2008) and sqlwb (SQL Server 2005) from command prompt opened with “Run as Administrator”.
