Hey guys... I have been auditing the servers under my control and have found some security issues,
How can I get a recordset of all of my Sql Server instances running in my domain...
I can see the information when I use register server so I know they are running on port 1433 but I need to scan my domain and bring this information back to my CIO so he can set policy and gain control over this proliferation...

Ideally I will be running a job to scan our network of new SQL servers instances that come on line from desktops or new/old server installs.

You can run "osql /L" on the command line to get a list of available SQL Servers on the network. It usually gets all of them (does on my domain anyway)

23 servers returned... My only problem now will be seeing the ones that are sitting behind Symantic and Windows Firewalls, that may have security access through application and NT accounts and may have downloaded sensitive data... Any suggestions?

A couple of servers that exist do not show up in the list... I checked the server network utility and the hide server is not checked on... From my local workstation I am able to connect to the box...
Suggestions? Appreciated
