Unattended install - dynamic ports

  • Hi,

    Is it possible to configure a setting for dynamic ports when deploying a named instance?

    [DlgServerNetwork-0]

    TCPPort = ?

    Cheers.

  • hi,

    Sql listens to number of port a part from default.

    It is not possible to configure sq server to listen on dynamic port numbers.

  • No; the first instance listens on 1433 by default - subsequent instances, named instances, defaults to dynamically allocating a port. See:

    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;823938

    However, when using the setup.iss to create a named instance in an unattended installation it appears to be required to define a port.

  • In a named instance.

    Leaving the TCPPort = 0 will cause it to become dynamic 

    [DlgServerNetwork-0]

    NetworkLibs=255

    TCPPort=0

    TCPPrxy=Default

    NMPPipeName=\\.\pipe\MSSQL$PRD01\sql\query

    Result=1
