WSUS SQL Service Manager shows Not Connected
You might have noticed WMSDE SQL Service Manager shows Not Connected in system tray. Wondering why it shows as Not Connected??!!
This is because you are running WMSDE on WSUS where there is no default instance & so SQL Service Manager cannot see it. This is normal behaviour.
