Is there any way to disable people from finding my SQL Server?

I have changed the default port from 1433 to something else and locked down all the ugly extended procs and removed the builtin\admins group. But how do I stop other peoples Enterprise manager from knowing that my server exists? I would guess that there is sometype of service to disable?

I just found a "HIDE SERVER" setting in the SERVER NETWORK UTIL.


Thanks.

Hey you answered your own question!

You can also do it at the command prompt by entering this:
net config server /HIDDEN:YES

I am sure that the server network utility does the same thing.
