HostName Property

This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.

The HostName property reports the network name of the client hosting the SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) application.

Syntax

object.HostName [=value]

Parts

  • object
    An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list

  • value
    A string

Data Type

String

Modifiable

Read/write

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetHostName(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetHostName(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewValue);

Note

SQL-DMO strings are always returned as OLE BSTR objects. A C/C++ application obtains a reference to the string. The application must release the reference using SysFreeString.

Remarks

The HostName property can be set while the SQLServer object is not connected to an instance of Microsoft SQL Server.
