Can't see aliases in Configuration Manager

    Hi,

    I have aliases configured in the client network utility. I have just recently installed SQL Server 2008 R2 and the aliases don't appear in the Configuration Manager. Also when I create a new alias in Configuration Manager it appears to create ok but does not display in the alias list.

    Am I missing something obvious here?

    Thanks!

    May it be that you are looking at 32-bit in one of the locations, and 64-bit in the other? As far as I remember, the 32-bit and 64-bit client libraries do not share aliases.

    Thanks for the reply. I only have 32 bit OS so that won't be an issue as everything is restricted to this. I seem to have struck an issue that even the mighty Google can't resolve 🙂

    Btw, a common misconception. If you create aliases on your server, clients won't see them. Aliases are for the client library on the computer where the alias is defined only.
