Folks, I knew that third-part tool SQLRecon written with VB can perform this. But I really want to have my own scripts suitable for my environment. The Situation is: ---------------------------------------- There exist thousands of the windows hosts on the domain, We have a list of the IP address for these windows servers. We only know some of them host SQL instance. The purpose of the script should be 1. For the known windows hosts with SQL instance, need to know whether the sql services is up? 2. For other unknow windows hosts, need to check whether they host sql server instances, if host, what is the status of the sql instance? ------------------------------------------ Appreciate you input. ------------------ Bug explorer/finder/seeker/locator ------------------

Thanks, ghemant. SQLPing, SQLPing2, SQLRecon all can do this work. I want to get some ideas to develop own sql script for my environment ------------------ Bug explorer/finder/seeker/locator ------------------
YOu can find such programs or scripts (open source) to perform the tasks you're looking, and as far as third party tools are concerned it is better to contact Vendor.

Since when I google it, lots of junk information will pop up. I need to filter them to find the best one. The same thing, it takes me some time to find here and finally get used to. ------------------ Bug explorer/finder/seeker/locator ------------------
