When you have another application that can use the SQL server, have you
then tried to connect to the instance from EM using the account this
application is using? You could also check which account you have
registered in EM for connecting to the instance. Have you tried to to
create a new SQL server registration in EM using Windows Authentication
(while logged on to the server with an account that is local
administrator on the server.
