I recently have configured my Web Server based on Windows 2003 Server and IIS 5x. I'd also installed SQL Server 2005 into this. Now I want toc onfigure this SQL Server, so that my client can access their database through a DNS name. I request you all for your kind support in this regard. Thanks in advance.
Datbased are not access by DNS Name. Default instances of server are accessed through DNS Names. Using the syntax for the default server e.g. Computername or for a named instance ComputerName\InstanceName should do the trick. If you want to reach the instances by just a name, without the \ within the name, you will have to configure an alias for them on each client machine.
