  • Nice question, but a bit ambiguous.

    I can start SQL Server Browser with the command net start sqlbrowser.

    No switches there πŸ˜‰

    I agree it's a nice question but ambiguous.

    The question is more about which switch allows you to run the service in a command prompt window rather than starting the service from the command prompt.

    Running sqlbrowser.exe -c does not start the SQLBrowser service. Run the command then check your local services. The switch runs the service in the command prompt window and displays logging info for troubleshooting. You will notice the first line is

  • Another thumbs down on QOTD.

    Use ' net start sqlbrowser '

  • Yes, the question is a little ambiguous, but that has no impact on the answer, since the service itself is not listed as an option (with no switches).

    Definitively not a "thumbs down" question.

  • So easy I thought it was Monday. Thanks!

    And, yes, it was a bit ambiguous. But, unlike the question I cried foul on earlier this week, you didn't have to mind read to get the correct answer. Can I give it a "thumbs sideways"?

  • Just don't give it the finger πŸ™‚

    I did not mind the question at all. Thank you for the contribution.

  • net start SQLBrowser will not show you the client IP/ports from which they try to connect or how many times they try before disconnecting, like this:

    I didn't know it could be started from command line without using net start until I saw this question. But a google search for SQL server Browser command line switches led me to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms181087%28v=sql.105%29.aspx (Google found that rather than the page referenced in the explanation, and Bing found absolutely nothing useful) so it was easy to get the answer.
