How to change the port in sql server management express (ssms)

October 15th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

I chased my tail around for awhile on this before finally coming across a post on google… those crazy folks at Microsoft decided that rather than using the standard IPAddress:port with a colon, they would use a comma instead! So… when you’re using SSMS to connect to a Sql Server on a non-standard port… this is the format:

IPAddress,port

Hope that saves someone else some time!
