sql server connect: Hi all,
How can I see if a linked server is connecting via name pipes or TCP?

Thanks,
Joe

I belive it uses TCP/IP by default; but I think it depends on the setting of
your SQL Server. You can choose the protocols your SQL Server accepts.

Try something like this:

SELECT net_library FROM smart.master.dbo.sysprocesses
WHERE hostname=SERVERPROPERTY('MachineName')
AND program_name='Microsoft SQL Server'
