• Thanks Pedro, this is a handy little piece of code. Previously, I would check the error log for the port number that my instance is listening on, which was a slightly tedious process and sometimes not very practical, especially if I needed the information on another SQL server and did not have access to the server files. I actually wrapped it in a sproc and tied it into a shortcut key for quick access (see below):

    if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[sp_CheckThisInstance]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsProcedure') = 1)

    drop procedure [dbo].[sp_CheckThisInstance]

    GO

    create proc dbo.sp_CheckThisInstance

    AS

    GO
