[!INCLUDE SQL Server Windows Only]
This section contains F1 Help topics for the [!INCLUDE ssNoVersion] Services dialog boxes in [!INCLUDE ssNoVersion] Configuration Manager.
If you open SQL Server Configuration Manager on a node of a cluster that doesn't host the resources, the services show as stopped.
If the nodes of the [!INCLUDE ssNoVersion] Services don't populate with the [!INCLUDE ssNoVersion] services available on the computer, you might not have sufficient permissions to access Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).
To configure permissions on WMI, see Configure WMI to show server status in SQL Server tools.
