Problem with the Client Network Utility

sql server connect: Operating System: Win2000 pro
Product: Sql Server 2000 Sp3
Host Name: DATAPROD

I am having problems with my DTS Packages failing. I
tracked the problem down to the Client Network Utility.
Inside the network utility, all protocals are disabled
except for tcp/ip. When I click on the alias tab, I'm
showing the alias name "DATAPROD" and the network libary
as NAMED PIPES. I DO NOT use named pipes. If I remove
the alias, my packages begin to operate successfully,
however approx 40 mins later, I look at the alias tab in
the client network utility and low and behold, a new alias
has been added called "DATAPROD" with network library
of "NAMED PIPES". If I go in and edit the alias and
change it to tcp/ip port 1433, it work for another 40 mins
and then packages start failing again. I can't get NAMED
PIPES to stop reappearing. Does anyone have any ideas?

This is most likely the problem. Aliases do not get automatically created,
unless an application is doing it. You can download regmon from
www.sysinternals.com and run it on the machine where the alias is being
created. After the alias appears, look at the regmon log for entries made
to the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MSSQLSERVER\Client\ConnectTo key. This is
where the aliases are stored.

Probably there is another application that have database on this server and
makes this regulary (we evaluated similar one for Bug tracking). Check for
such one and ODBC aliases.

Bojidar, thank you very very much. I'm a dba/developer and our network
guys installed some app called NET IQ. I had no idea they installed it
so I was completely puzzled as to why my packages were failing. I told
those guys to notify the developers when they install a new application
on the database server. Thanks again....this has been driving me crazy
for the last week.
