I have a SQL 2008r2 server that is running multiple instances. At first, it was just running the default instance but I had to create an additional instance to house SCCM databases because he apparently doesn't play nice.
From outside the server, I can hit the default instance by pointing to the server name. From within the server itself, if I try connecting to the default instance by connecting to the server name, it connects to the SCCM instance instead of default. If I connect to 127.0.0.1 as opposed to *SERVERNAME*, it connects to the correct default instance.
This is causing an issue with my maintenance plans because they are trying to connect to the default instance via servername. If I replace the server name with 127.0.0.1 in the agent job command line, it works fine. Easy fix, but any time I change
a job it repopulates the server name, causing the job to fail.
I am pretty sure its a configuration issue but I can not for the life of me find it.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
