Ok I am gonna tax some brainpower on this one. How do I get a list unregistered SQL servers on my network via SMO? Is this even possible? Is it possible using other technology? I am not having much luck working with the now MS deprecated DMO either - still new to me. I am creating an application that needs to be able to see a list of available servers and their respective DB's. I can get a list of servers from our network, however it I can name 2 right off the bat that are live and I can connect to them via SQL Management Tools but do not show up in the list. Does SMO consider different domains in its search? Can I specify? How can I find out if they are hidden? I am scouring the web trying to find the answers with little to no luck.

I want to thank GaryMazzone for grabbing that Blog article for me - it was the same ole you know what unfortunately

Anyways, anybody who can shed some light/provide some links, samples, etc (not MSDN I have them all PRINTED LOL) you assistance would be immensly appreciated.

Thanks,

D
