SAC Command Line utility doesn't start SQLBrowser Service

SQL Server Express

Rooboy


I've exported surface area configuration settings from a server and tried importing them onto another server. The remote connection settings are imported but the SQLBrowser service remains Disabled. Am I doing something wrong

The command line command I ran (in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared directory) is "sac.exe in sacconfig.xml".

The following is my config file:

I've found that you can set it up to start the SQLBrowser service using command line arguments (SQLBROWSERAUTOSTART=1) to the sql server express install. It still seems odd that I can't start the SQLBrowser service with the tool that is provided to do so when it is set to Disabled.
