    Use . or (local) or localhost for server name if you installed the server as default instance.

    Use .\sqlexpress or localhost\sqlexpress if you have SQL Express.

    The server name syntax is

    Servername\InstanceName

    If the instance is default you use just Servername.
    For SQL Express, instance name is sqlexpress by default.
