If You Are Given Access To A Sql Server, How Do You Find If The Sql Instance Is A Named Instance Or A Default Instance?

Answer»

I would go to the SQL Server CONFIGURATION Manager.In the left pane of the tool, I would select SQL Server Services, the right side pane displays all of the SQL Server Services / components that are installed on that MACHINE. If the SERVICE is DISPLAYED as (MSSQLSERVER), then it INDICATES it is a default instance, else there will be the Instance name displayed.
