I've searched google and so far I've tried lots of things but I'm not familiar with the background processes and think I may have missed something.Here is the oddness I'm seeing.A few months ago sqlcmd -L would show me all ~100 servers and database instances across our networks. Then something changed. No one knows what or really when but the result is that when I run sqlcmd -L the only databases I can see are the six or so in my own sub-domain.I don't know what processes or binaries sqlcmd accesses in order to discover SQL databases over the network so I have no idea where to start trouble-shooting this.Yes, the other databases are running SQL Browser on UDP 1434.No, the other databases TCP protocols do not have the databases hidden.The database versions range from SQL 2000 to SQL 2014.Additional bit of oddness: My coworker (in the same sub-domain) cannot see the six instances in our sub-domain but CAN see seven of the SQL 2000 instances. My other coworker (in the same sub-domain) can't see ANY instances at all.Has anyone seen this or have an idea of where to start trouble-shooting this type of issue? Is this possibly a Windows update gone awry on our client machines (Windows 7 professional service pack 1)?HELP...
