Hello,
We are currently attempting to hide an SQL instance so that it cannot be seen in the "Browse for more" area of SSMS (SQL Server 2016 and SSMS 17.9.1). We've tried two different things to accomplish this and neither have had an affect. The first is to change the HideInstance Flag to "Yes" in SQL Config Manager for the instance. The other was to remove the "browse any db" right in the Public role/permission on the DB instance in question.
Does anyone have any other method or idea on how to hide an instance? Are we missing something?
Thanks
