SQL Server Browser Properties (Service Tab)

[!INCLUDEappliesto-ss-xxxx-xxxx-xxx-md-winonly] The [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Browser program runs as a service on the server. [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Browser listens for incoming requests for [!INCLUDEmsCoName] [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] resources and provides information about [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] instances installed on the computer.

Use the Service tab on the SQL Server Browser Properties dialog box to view the following options. All properties except Start Mode are read-only.

Options

Binary Path
Displays the location of the program files used by this service.

Error Control
1 indicates SERVICE_ERROR_NORMAL. If the service fails to start during computer start up, the startup program logs the error and displays a pop-up message box but continues the startup operation. This value cannot be changed.

Exit Code
When an error occurs, the error number appears in this box. Use this number to troubleshoot failures by searching for the number in the [!INCLUDEmsCoName] Knowledge Base or provide the number to your technical support staff.

Host Name
Displays the name of the computer or cluster running the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Browser service.

Name

Service Type

Start Mode

  • Manual: This service does not automatically start when the computer starts. You must start the service using [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Configuration Manager, or some other tool.

  • Automatic: This service attempts to start when this computer starts.

  • Disabled: This service cannot be started.
