  Where did this registry key come from?

  Jul 26, 2004 06:16 PM|akahara|LINK

  On my windows 2003 web edition server, I have the following registry key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\Client\ConnectTo\ Which has the following entry: Name: MyDatabaseServer Type: Reg_SZ Data: DBMSSOCN, MyDatabaseServer This information was never configured to my knowledge, so did it pick it up from the domain controller? How did this get here? How do I add connections to my other databases, if they are supposed to be there? Thanks, akahara

  Not sure, may be from Data Sources (ODBC)

  This registry key is on my web server, which doesn't have SQL or anything installed. The apps just talke to the SQL server....

  What are you using to connect to the SQL server? I believe the SQL client installs this key.

  I guess that this is there, because out of the box, I assume you can use data source in the administrator tools to connect to SQL server.
