I expect to see 100-200 instances.SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager can discover 100-odd servers in a few seconds, if go to register a server and add it to a group. However I can't copy the resulting list.Is there T-SQL command to do the same thing?PS. I don't want to do a port scan on UDP 1434, it will probably be blocked by our Cisco PIX firewalls and teh network guys will not be impressed.Thanks for the fine website!" |
