Hi I have installed Visual Studio 2012 Express Desktop. I am not sure if the sql server software that that came with Visual Studio 2012 Express Desktop is serverless or not. I have installed this at work and don't want a server installed on my computer because I am sure it opens ports which will be a security issue at work. Do you know if it is serverless?

Why would "serverless" affect which ports are used? – John Saunders Dec 26 '12 at 21:06

Yes. There is definitely a server involved.
You don't need to worry about ports being opened though. Assuming you have a Firewall blocking the ports, the installation of SQL Server Express won't modify that without your permission.
