Hi guys,
was wondering if you ever encountered this issue before, we are running on erp6.0 on ehp 5 on mssql 2012. Recently, there has been a request to tighten security, so one of the requests was to hide the instance of the mssql server using the following method:
Hide an Instance of SQL Server Database Engine
However I noticed after doing this and restarting my CI, that sap would not start anymore. Does any one know why this is so? or know any articles that talk about such things? I tried raising an OSS message but they just said this is a setting only controlled by mssql and doesn't have any relations to sap kernel so they can't advise. I'm thinking it's coz the SAP CI can't find the DB instance thus stops working. Unfortunately I don't have any logs on this as I reverted the changes and there has been some other maintenance tasks that have happened in the past week which got the server restarted a couple of times.
Just wondering whats your take on this from a technical perspective?
Regards,
Chris
