| You can use the free SQLPing 3.0 utility available on the link below to find SQL Server instances on an entire IP subnet. It uses multiple methods to discover them, and can often find instances where SQL Server is not started.http://www.sqlsecurity.com/Tools/FreeTools/tabid/65/Default.aspxCODO ERGO SUM |
