AppleTalk ADSP Clients
Microsoft® SQL Server™ can communicate with clients using the AppleTalk ADSP network protocol.
The AppleTalk Net-Library does not support server enumeration. From applications that can list servers by calling dbserverenum, you cannot identify instances of SQL Server listening on the AppleTalk Net-Library.
If you experience difficulties establishing connections from clients through AppleTalk, review the error messages listed in the Microsoft Windows® application log and the SQL Server error log, and verify that the AppleTalk Net-Library is loaded correctly.
If the AppleTalk Net-Library is loaded on the server correctly, you see a message in the Windows application log or the SQL Server error log similar to the following:
Using 'SSMSADSN.DLL' version '6.00.0.0' to listen on 'servicename'
