Programmatic access to Enabled Protocols in SQL2005?

My C++ program is able to read the "Enabled Protocols" for SQL2005 by
reading the registry at:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\<instance
name>\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketLib\<protocol alias> and then reading the
"Enabled" value to see if it is enabled or not.
This works fine for named instances, but I can't find the registry values
that tell me which Enabled Protocols are defined for the default instance in
SQL2005.
Can anyone assist?
Many thanks!Hi,
Thanks for your post!
From your description, I understand that:
Your application need to search for the SQL Server 2005 enabled protocols
information in registry.
You managed to get the "Enable" value if the SQL Server was installed as a
named instance;
however the "Enable" value was not found at that location if the SQL Server
was installed as a default instance.
If I have misunderstood, please let me know.
From my research, I found the "Enable" value was under the directory
"HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib\<protocol alias>",
which was different from yours. My SQL Server 2005 was installed as a named
instance as well.
The directory as you mentioned is also existed in my registry, however I
couldn't find the "Enable" value under that.
In fact, if your SQL Server 2005 was installed as a default instance, you
may found the default value "MSSQLServer" under
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.x\MSSQLServer\
Both default instance and named instance have the related registry key
MSSQL.x. The registry directory "MSSQL.1" references the first instance of
your SQL Server 2005, so I recommend you check that registry directory
firstly.
Also, you may try to search for the key value "SuperSocketNetLib" under the
registry directory "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\".
If you have any other concerns, please feel free to let me know. It's my
pleasure to be of assistance.
