SQL Server Management Studio - Missing Server Names
The first dialog box you get when opening SSMS (mine is 2008 R2) allows you to choose which server you want to connect to.
I had at least six servers in that list, including a local server called something like MYPC/SQLSERVEREXPRESS
Windows Updates ran last night and rebooted my machine, and now my SSMS list of servers is gone. I can select (local)
or (browse for more)
What happened to my previously saved servers and their saved login info?
The file that stores these for 2008 is found at c:\%UserProfile%\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Shell\SqlStudio.bin
My guess is that it is still there, but was overwritten by one of your updates, you can check it to see when it was last modified.
You should make use of registered servers and export the file to save time if this happens again.
