Troubleshooting intermitten connectivity issues can be difficult. One approach is to repeatedly test connecting to SQL Server outside of an existing application in order to verify if a server-wide intermitten issue is occurring. This script is used to test remote connectivity to a SQL Server. The script loops in one minute intervals (adjust as needed). If a problem connecting to SQL Server occurs an error is written to the Application log on the machine from which the script is executed. The script requires SQL-DMO which is installed with the SQL Server client tools.
