Find TCP/IP Sockets Net-Libraries port number used by SQL Server 2000 - Page 2

Method 2

In method two, we are going to take advantage of VB-Scripting and WMI methods.

Method2 requires access to read the registry on all of the listed servers. SQL Server

Step 1

Create Folder C:\Findport folder [Refer Fig 1.0] and then create C:\Findport\servers.txt inside it. List all of the server names and the named instance names in the text file, as shown below.

SQL 
MyComp
MyComp\Blonde

I have published two different articles on how to find all of the SQL Servers on the network. You can use those articles to publish this servers.txt file. Please refer to Scanning the network for SQL Server for a range of IP addresses and Scanning the network for SQL Server.

Step 2

Create C:\Findport\port.vbs as shown below

loop


ofile.writeline "Find Port process Completed"
ofile.writeline Now()

Download Findport.vbs_

Step 3

Execute the Findport.vbs as shown below. Refer to fig 1.2.

C:\Findport\Findport.vbs

Step 4

The Findport.vbs will complete by showing the following message. Refer to Fig 1.3

Step 5

Open the c:\ Findport\Findport.log file. The result is displayed below.

Find Port process started
ServerInstance: sql Port: 2433
ServerInstance: MyComp Port: 1433
ServerInstance: MyComp\Blonde Port: 2433
Find Port process Completed
