Discover online SQL servers

  • My company is a big MS SQL server shop. I usually use OSQL _L command, howerver, it will miss some SQL servers due to different domain, network etc. I would like whether there is a better way to do that.

    Thanks in advance

     

     

     

     

  • Try SQL Server security tools scan.

  • Since slammer, 1434 has been turned off in many places and discovery has been tough. SMS has worked well here in querying for SQL services.

  • We use BindView to do this for us.  It seems to work pretty well.
