[dba-SQLServer] Can't Register Server

k, so assuming the connectivity library is intact...

when you open EM and click on register new server and you get the 
wizard(assuming you use the wizard here). Do you have an empty list for 
available servers?  If so is your sqlserver started before you begin the 
server registration?

you also mentioned you had problems installing sql server on this pc.  
When you refer to your install problems do you mean only registering 
errors or errors along the way when installing?

and lastly... What is the hardware configuration on the pc including OS?
