I know there was a thread on this 5 years ago but I the solutions presented there are not quite working for me.

I need a means to enumerate and list all the SQL Server accessible to a machine. The solution I saw uses NetServerEnum() which I guess worked fine for SQL Server 2000 but it doesn't properly return names of servers + instances as used by SQL Server 2005.

Any ideas?

PS, I would prefer not to rely on any SQL Server functionality existing on the machine...

Thanks in advance
