Hi,I have an existing 2012 default SQL Express. It's set up on a VPS managed by a third party. I have an administrator account on this 2012 Windows server. I'm not much of a sysadmin or a DBA but I get around. ;)I've installed a new NAMED instance on this VPS and can not connect to it with client tools (SSMS). If I remote in, I can connect this way.QuestionWhat steps might a seasoned DBA expect to make when getting a new named instance ready for the world.Assign a port? Check the port?Open the firewall for the port?Will this new named instance listen on a different port than the previously installed SQL Express instance?ThanksJohn
