I installed SSM 2016 (Sql Server Management Studio) for days on my PC but I can not create a local database.
The only thing I do is connect to a database that I hosted in azure, but when I go to create a local DB it gives error with the following message:
TITLE: Connect to Server
------------------------------
Cannot connect to WKSIPLAB_A10.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53)
