What is SQL Server Browser Service?

May 13th, 2008 by uCertify Leave a reply »

SQL Server Browser service is a tool used to connect to an SQL Server instance if a DBA is not able to connect to that instance through DAC. It can be configured either during the installation of SQL Server or by using the Surface Area Configuration Manager tool. This service starts automatically by default. It listens to incoming requests and connects to the correct instance. It also displays a list of all available instances on the server and connects to DAC endpoints.
