Don’t you cry no more…you can find the TCP Port

Greetings to the Kingdom!

Huge thanks to my friends Dan and Tamie for this one.  It will help you determine the TCP Port for an instance.  I love my friends in the SQL Community and am so happy they are willing to share!

DECLARE @key VARCHAR(50), @RegistryPath VARCHAR(200)
IF (SERVERPROPERTY('INSTANCENAME')) IS NULL
BEGIN
SET @RegistryPath='Software\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib\Tcp\'
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SET @RegistryPath='Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\'+CONVERT(VARCHAR(25),SERVERPROPERTY('INSTANCENAME'))+'\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib\Tcp\'
END
EXEC master.dbo.xp_regread 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE', @RegistryPath, 'tcpPort'

Have a magical day!
