Weird problem.. with server name

  • I have a instance and it was named servername

    But now, I am able to register this SQL Server instance only by this name

    servername-be,1433

    I don't know how this became like this with be extension.

    When I run this command select @@servername, I get servername as servername only without the BE extension

    Please share your inputs

    M&M

  • Did you recently change the actual servername (on the server, Windows)?

    How did you come up trying to connect with the -be extension?

  • Is there any way to check when this change happened.

    In my knowledge, I never changed it.

    M&M

  • Check the windows events logs and SQL server logs.

    EnjoY!
  • Make sure both results are same when you run these statements, assuming default instance name.

    select @@SERVERNAME

    go

    select serverproperty ('ComputerNamePhysicalNetBIOS')

    EnjoY!

    EnjoY!
  • When I run this select serverproperty ('ComputerNamePhysicalNetBIOS')

    it returns NULL.

    Is this because the server I am referring to is SQL Server 2000.

    M&M

  • Try this!

    select serverproperty ('MachineName')

    EnjoY!
  • I am getting same servername when I run below commands

    select @@servername

    select serverproperty ('MachineName')

    But I am only able to register/connect with this name servername-BE,1433 and not

    servername,1433

    M&M

  • One more point.

    The IP addresses of servername and servername-BE are different.

    I am able to ping both these server names.

    But I am only able to register\connect to servername-BE

    M&M

  • Have you checked if you have more than one instance of SQL installed? Also, are both IP's on the same server or different ones?
