How to find SQL Server running port?

Yes I read this How to find the port for MS SQL Server 2008?

no luck.

telnet 1433

returns connection failed, so I must specify other port.

I tried to use

netstat -abn

but I don't see sqlservr.exe or something similar on this list.

Why it so difficult to find that port? :/

Solution 1:

Try this:

USE master
GO
xp_readerrorlog 0, 1, N'Server is listening on' 
GO

Solution 2:

very simple. make a note of the sqlsrvr.exe PID from taskmanager then run this command:

netstat -ano | findstr *PID*

it will show TCP and UDP connections of your SQL server (including ports) standard is 1433 for TCP and 1434 for UDP

example :

Solution 3:

This is the one that works for me:

SELECT DISTINCT 
    local_tcp_port 
FROM sys.dm_exec_connections 
WHERE local_tcp_port IS NOT NULL 

Solution 4:

If you can start the Sql Server Configuration Manager > SQL Server Network Configuration > Your instance > TCP/IP > Properties
