Question : SERVERPROPERTY('SERVERNAME') & SERVERPROPERTY('MACHINENAME')
Are the above 2 always going to the same, guaranteed?
Are they absorbed at installation of SQL? or do they read from OS, live?
Thanks
Answer : SERVERPROPERTY('SERVERNAME') & SERVERPROPERTY('MACHINENAME')
Nope. The first will return the instance name while the 2nd returns the physical machine name.
