Connect Database Manager to SQL Express in 9.5 Trial

Hey Guys,

Trying to fool around with the newest Orion (esp the Network Atlas) and I'm trying to import some of our node data from our production server into the SQL Express db of the 9.5 trial install. When I open the SolarWinds Database Manager and try to Add SQL Server it finds nothing. I've tried using (local), localhost, 127.0.0.1, the actual IP of the host, the hostname, etc. Nothing works.

Am I doing it wrong? emoticons_happy.png I tried looking in the documentation and the forums, but couldn't really find anything. I did find a post mentioning something about the SQL Agent and it not being included with SQL Express, is that my issue?

Thanks!
