How to know if an insance is a default instance or a named instance?

I obtain a list of instance names by using the method in this article:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/askjay/archive/2011/10/11/how-can-i-get-a-list-of-installed-sql-server-instances.aspx
On my computer, there are two instance names under registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Instance Names\SQL
That is:
SQLEXPRESS   
MSSQLSERVER
Then how to know whether the above two instances are both named instance or one of them is default instance?
Thanks

Hi,
Generally when you don't give name to SQL server instance or select default instance during installation  it takes MSSQLSERVER as a default name so where ever you see MSSQLSERVER its always default instance. SQLEXPRESS will be SQL express instance(
although you can rename it) all other instances would be named accordingly. SO MSSQLSERVER is default instance all other which appear will be named instances

  • SQL Server 2012 - 3 SQL clustered instances - one default/ two named instances - how assign/should assign static ports for named instances

    We have two physical servers hosting 3 SQL 2012 clustered instances, one default instance and two named instances.
    The default instance is using port 1433 and the two named instances are using dynamic port assignment.
    There is discussion about assigning static port numbers to the two named clustered SQL instances.
    What is considered best-practice?  For clustered named instances to have dynamic or static ports?
    Are there any pitfalls to assigning a static port to a named instance that is a cluster?
    Any help is greatly appreciated

    Hi RobinMCBC,
    In SQL server the default instance has a listener which listens on the fixed port which is TCP port 1433. And for the named instance the port on which the SQL server listens is random and is dynamically selected when the named instance of the SQL server
    starts.
    For Standalone instance of the SQL server we can change the dynamic port of the named instance to the static port by using SQL server configuration manager as other post, however, in case of the cluster, when we change the port no. of the named instance
    to the static port using the method described above, the port no. again changes back to the dynamic port after you restart the services. I recommend you changing the Dynamic port of the SQL Server to static port 
    on all the nodes , disabling and enabling the checkpointing to the quorum.
    For more information, you can review the following article about how to change the dynamic port of the SQL Server named instance to an static port in a SQL Server 2005 cluster.

    Hi Patricia,
    is it working for restricted key figure and calculated key figure ??
    Note Number Fisc Period Opening Days
    1 1 2
    2 1 3
    3 1 0
    because I have other restriction, so I create two restricted key figure..
    RK1  with restriction :  Total Number of Note,
    RK2  with restriction :  Total Opening Days ,
    then I Created a calculated key figure, average opening days in a period
    CK1 = RK2 / RK1..
    in this case, I am not sure if it will work or not..
    for example, during RK2 calclation, it might be this   2+3 = 5, the line with 0 will be ignored..
    during RK1 calcualtion, it might be 1 + 1 + 1 = 3. ---> Not sure in this case, the line with opening days 0 will be calculated or not..
    could you please confirm..

  • How to know my macbook pro supports usb2 or usb3?

    How to know my macbook pro supports usb2 or usb3 ?
    And if it is USB 2, will external hardisk which support usb 2 would be compatible with & vice-versa?
    What would be the cons?

    USB 3.0 ports were only added to those MacBook Pros that were released in mid 2012 and later.
    So you would have USB 2.0 ports on your machine.
    But USB 3.0 and 2.0 are 'compaitble,' somewhat - you just won't be able to get the throughput of a USB 3.0 to USB 3.0 connection.

  • How to know whether balance carry forward has happened or not

    How to know , whether balance carry forward has happened or not for a perticular GL account or for the company code as a whole?

    If the account is a balance sheet account, you can merely look at the beginning balance for the same balance sheet account for the beginning of the next fiscal year FS10N. The beginning balance will equal the previous year's ending balance. Since this does not happen automatically, you will know that carry forward has not been done if a balance sheet account has no beginning balance in the following fiscal year.
    If you are talking about For P&L GL accounts, you can check the acvitity in the retained earnings accounts to make sure that they have been updated for the P&L activity. You can identify the retained earnings account by looking at the master data for the account in the section "P&L statmt acct type" and pulling up the menu to see the actual retained earnings account number.
    You can perform carry foward (GVTR) as many times as you want but normally once it has been ran, any postings to a  previous fiscal year are automatically carried forward to the current year after that initial run.

    In R3 RSA5 we have all the Master data data sources as mentioned above, and BW also. How to find the related Master data Infosource in R/3 Master data Data sources.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi,
    <i>How to know which master data objects need to activated from delivery version to active version in R/3 for a particular standard cube like 0SD_C03.</i>
    I think, you are looking for master data sources(text,attributes,hier).Am i right?
    If so, This cube has almost all SD master data characterstics. So you can activate all the all master data datasources of SD in r/3 (SD-IO).
    Any way you requirement does not stop only by using this cube . You will activate all other cubes in SD also. So if you want to activate only needed master data datasources when you are activating a cube, the job becomes senseless. There is no problem(wrong) in activating all master data available under that application , even though you want to activate only one cube.
    With rgds,

    Hi,
    You can find the roles which all having particular BW report by the table AGR_1251.
    For this you need to know the technical name of the report, you can find the technical name of the report either in Bex analyzer or in RSRT.
    For granting access to any BW report in a role the technical name of the role should be included in the object S_RS_COMP,
    1) go to transaction SE16.
    2) open the table AGR_1251
    3) enter in the field "object with "S_RS_COMP"
    4) and the field "FIELD" with "RSZCOMPID"
    5) Give the BW report (technical name) which you want to search in the field "LOW"
    6) click on execute.
    Caution: in case you are giving complete techincal name of the report, it will show only if the roles are updated under the object S_RS_COMP with complete technical names, however if in the roles you are giving ranges something (as example : BW_FIN_*) you need to give the range in SE16 as well.
    Hope this helps you!

  • How to know if I need DVD-R or DVD+R? What's the difference?

    Attempting to put photos and videos onto DVD's to play on TV and when I was at the store to buy the DVD's I was confronted with whether I need - or + ? I can't find anyone who knows what the difference? Not even the person at the store where I was trying to buy them could tell me? I'm assuming if I purchase the wrong ones, I will probably have some difficulty.
    Can anyone fill me in on what the plus and minus mean and how to know which ones I need for my system?
    Thanks a bunch!
    Donna

    DD, welcome to the forum.
    Here is a guide that will help you understand the differences in DVD -R & +R.  The standard wisdom is that the +R discs are more compatible with all DVD players.  The author of the guide goes into good detail about the differences.  I personally buy +R whenever possible.  This means if they are cheaper or the same price as - (dash) R.

  • How to know if there is a web threat on my computer?

    How to know if there is a web threat on my computer.
    Two days ago I was trying to view a page that I always see with no problem but I got a messages from Intego Virusbarrier saying that safari was attempting to download known malware that could control my computer. I didn't understand, it was a common designers website that I had always visited with no problem. The message had a counter with the option of proceeding or blocking. I blocked. I have both safari and chrome installed so I decided to check the site in chrome, again with the same window. I let it be, but the following morning as a tried one more time safari didn't show me the warning window, instead it took me to a blank page that wouldn't load. All of the programs froze and my mouse arrow started to move a little sporadically, nothing would work properly. I finally had to unplug my computer. after a while i plugged it back in and everything seemed to be working fine. I had virusBarrier scan my entire computer but it found nothing wrong. I checked my download folder and utilities and plugins and found nothing odd. all seemed fine, But this morning it started again. My computer wouldn't respond properly and I had to unplug it again. After I replugged all seemed to work fine, except safari, which wouldn't do anything. I disabled all plugins and it sort of worked but the problem is when I tried to reset safari, it makes safari stop working. Chrome seems to be fine. Virusbarrier, (which supposedly instigated the alleged malware warnings) still can't find anything wrong. But I have noticed that virusbarrier wont lock itself. every time i turn my computer off or put it to sleep it will unlock the ability to configure setting when it wakes.
    I don't know if it is virusbarrier or safari or something else, but i believe that come tomorrow it will continue to happen. I've tried and checked every folder and still can't find anything that shouldn't be there. The main problem I have is that its my whole computer, not just safari that freezes and acts up. I use airport and have to manually connect to the Internet each time I log in, so I don't understand how each morning this seems to be happening, because I'm not connected to the Internet when the computer is off.
    update: no, safari doesn't work at all anymore.
    mac is version 10.5.8
    safari 5.0.5

    One sure fireway to invite problems on a Mac is to install a/v software.
    Barry and rkaufmann87  are trying to give you excellent advice.
    If it were me, I'd backup my important files then erase the drive and start over. Anti virus software on a Mac is invasive and hard to uninstall properly.
    Since you are running v10.5, an Archive & Install won't do the job. You'll still have the previous System Folder on the drive. Clean install only.
