Hi All,
While connecting to particular sql server 2012 instance, i want to connect through namedpipe network protocol. So while connecting through ssms-->options-->network protocol-->except default nothing is listed in dropdown.
I went to look the SQL Server Native client configuration in sql server configuration manager and i cant see any protocol names there. Below is the screen shot. How to fix it. What is the significance of the status of these client protocols of sql native client configuration. Do i need to do a mofcomp sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof to fix it.
