Dear SQLers:

     I have a Windows 7 box.  I installed Denali on it, and I just
installed SQL Server 2008 Express SP 3, presumably 64-bit thoughI was
not asked.

  1) There is but one SSMS: the one for Denali.  From it, I can get
into the 2008 instance.  At least, I can view the names of the
databases in it.  (I have not tried to go further.)  This seemed odd
at first.  Is it OK?  I would have thought that a permanent version
would have more rank.

  2) The list of server names has two entries for
db2.srv.host-it.co.uk.  What is this?  It is not anything that I
(knowingly) added.  How did the entries get there?  Has my system been
hacked?

     There is not much on this system so if I had to nuke it, I could
(and probably should to get in some practice).

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko
