2. How do I specify the server name during the login procedure when connecting to a database?

ANSWERS: 

1. At installation, which components are installed?
An installation wizard will guide you through the installation process, and you are asked to make a selection of components to be installed. More detailed information is found in the Installation Guide.

2. How do I specify the server name during the login procedure when connecting to a database?
To login to a remote database you specify the server name as: \temssqlserver. Hostname is the name of the computer where the database is located and temssqlserver is the default named instance used, not to interfere with any other SQL installation on the computer. Another alternative is to specify it as: \temssqlserver.

To login to a database located on the same computer as the client you are running, you specify the server name as: localhost\temssqlserver. An alternative is .\temssqlserver, where "dot" means localhost. You can also use the same approach as for a remote database, with hostname or IP address.
