SQLPS connecting to the internet

  • No idea, and searching for this is hard. Too many PoSh things work with IPs.

    I suspect that it (or the PS Gallery modules) have some hard-coded IPs they use to connect somehow, or there's a query for load balancing to the Gallery that returns a number of IPs it uses. It would be interesting to wireshark or sniff what's happening.

    Interesting for me for you to do it. 🙂

  • Unfortunately (well, actually fortunately :)) our SQL servers don't allow any incoming traffic from the internet so Wireshark trace just shows it's connecting but then it stops, no replies come in.

  • Not surprised. A lot of software will check for updates or to send some sort of metric data back and if they don't get a response, they stop trying. However, it's an annoying delay. Especially interactively.
