SQL Server浏览器服务http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms181087.aspx

在Windows命令行中输入:

SC \\server_name query | find /I "SQL Server ("

其中“server_name”是希望在其上显示SQL实例的任何远程服务器的名称。

当然，这需要足够的权限。

我刚刚安装了Sql server 2008，但我无法连接到任何数据库实例。 @G Mastros发布的命令没有列出活动实例。

因此，我查看了服务，发现SQL server代理被禁用。我把它设置为自动，然后再启动。

你可以查询这个注册表值直接得到SQL版本:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\ClientSetup\CurrentVersion

或者你可以查询你的实例名，然后使用sqlcmd和你想要的实例名:

要查看实例名:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Instance Names

然后执行这个:

SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('productversion'), SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel'), SERVERPROPERTY ('edition')

如果您使用c++，您可以使用这段代码来获取注册表信息。

SQL Server permits applications to find SQL Server instances within the current network. The SqlDataSourceEnumerator class exposes this information to the application developer, providing a DataTable containing information about all the visible servers. This returned table contains a list of server instances available on the network that matches the list provided when a user attempts to create a new connection, and expands the drop-down list containing all the available servers on the Connection Properties dialog box. The results displayed are not always complete. In order to retrieve the table containing information about the available SQL Server instances, you must first retrieve an enumerator, using the shared/static Instance property:

using System.Data.Sql;

class Program
{
  static void Main()
  {
    // Retrieve the enumerator instance and then the data.
    SqlDataSourceEnumerator instance =
      SqlDataSourceEnumerator.Instance;
    System.Data.DataTable table = instance.GetDataSources();

    // Display the contents of the table.
    DisplayData(table);

    Console.WriteLine("Press any key to continue.");
    Console.ReadKey();
  }

  private static void DisplayData(System.Data.DataTable table)
  {
    foreach (System.Data.DataRow row in table.Rows)
    {
      foreach (System.Data.DataColumn col in table.Columns)
      {
        Console.WriteLine("{0} = {1}", col.ColumnName, row[col]);
      }
      Console.WriteLine("============================");
    }
  }
}
