SQL Express installation messages

In case you just skip the post-installation messages... that may helps :P

Configuring and Managing SQL Server Express
·    For improved manageability and security, SQL Server 2005 provides more control over the SQL Server surface area on your system. To minimize the surface area, the following default configurations have been applied to your instance of SQL server:

o    TCP/IP connections are disabled
o    Named Pipes is disabled
o    SQL Browser must be started manually
o    OPENROWSET and OPENDATASOURCE have been disabled
o    CLR integration is disabled
o    OLE automation is disabled
o    xp_cmdshell is disabled

To enable or disable features and services, run the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration tool from the Start menu.

·    To install SQL Server Management Studio Express Edition, download it from the SQL Server Developer Center on MSDN (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=51793).
