    Restarting SQL Server means restarting the service which needs sort of administrative rights on the computer. Anyway, how did you try to restart the service

    What i meant was that I am trying to restart the server in Mgmnt Studio from a client machine. I was logged in as 'sa' but the options are grayed out.

    If i can connect to it as 'sa' and do anything w/ it, create/alter/delete databases, then why can't I restart it
