You administer two instances of Microsoft SQL Server 2012. You deploy an application that uses a database on
the named instance. The application is unable to connect to the database on the named instance. You need to
ensure that the application can connect to the named instance. What should you do?
A.
Configure the application as data-tiered.
B.
Open port 1433 on the Windows firewall on the server.
C.
Configure the named SQL Server instance to use anaccount that is a member of the Domain Admins
group.
D.
Start the SQL Server Browser Service.
Different instances listen on different ever changing ports. Only the browser can tell connections which port to connect to.
D. In order to connect to a “named instance”, SQL Browser must be running.
