EM Surprise

Hi Experts,[^]<br />Whenever I first run EM it shows all the instances of registered SQL Server.<br />How EM comes to know the registered instances.[?]<br />How EM loads them.[<img src=’/community/emoticons/emotion-6.gif’ alt=’:(‘ />]

SQL BOL says: – When you run SQL Server Enterprise Manager for the first time, it automatically registers all instances of a local SQL Server. However, if you have one instance of SQL Server registered, and then install more instances of SQL Server, only the original instance of SQL Server will be registered. You can launch the Register Server Wizard or use the Registered SQL Server Properties dialog box to register additional servers. The Registered SQL Server Properties dialog box is populated with the names of all local instances of SQL Server.
