SQL Server Browse: non-deterministic results

Thu May 28, 2015 6:57 am

Hi all,

When I use the SQL Server Browse feature I get different results when I ever I use it. Sometimes I get a correct list of all servers, sometimes I get wrong finds, sometimes it finds no server at all. All tests were run on the same machine and same environment. So how does the search work? Does it only search for open TCP port 1433?

Best regards, Angelo

Daniel

Hello Angelo,

Please take a look on our "Why doesn't SQL Browse work as expected?" faq which debates some common issues which could prevent our "SQL Browse" feature to output clean results.

All the best,
Daniel
