multiple instances visible

  • I have a windows 2003 server acting as the front end application sever looking at a MSSQL 2K box with 4 instances runing on it.

    The application server can see all the instances running on the database server except it doubles up on one of the instances

    this can be seen using the command osql -L and via EM when adding a new server.

    The out put from isql -L command looks like

    server/instance1

    server/instance2

    server/instance3

    server/instance3

    server/instance4

    has anyone come across this before and how do you fix it

  • Check "SQL server Client Network Utility" alias tab...if you have entry in that you get more than one names retrurned for the same instance...

  • Thanks for that,

    Hopfully this will fix the network errors we are getting now and again.
