Purpose

The purpose of this article is to teach you the process of starting up the client network utility in Microsoft SQL Server 2000.

To Start the Client Network Utility

Use the Client Network Utility to manage the client Net-Libraries and define server alias names. It can also be used to set the default options used by DB-Library applications. Most users will never need to use the Client Network utility. To connect to Microsoft SQL Server 2000, users can specify only the network name of the server on which SQL Server is running, and optionally the name of the instance of SQL Server.

Following steps describe you the step by step details of starting up the client network utility:

1. Click Start, go to Programs, and then go to Microsoft SQL Server, and click Client Network Utility.

2. Click Cancel to close.
