Changing the Port for MS SQL Server had no effect for SQL-Toolkit plugin

In older Netprobe versions, there was a known issue with SQL-Toolkit plugin when trying to connect Microsoft SQL Server. The port setting was ignored, and the plugin was able to connect default port 1433 only. Users should upgrade to Netprobe version GA5.6 and above which include the fix COL-1674.

Workaround for older Netprobe versions Copied

Users may try to append a comma and put the port number to the Server Name field:

Where you have

Server Name: HOSTNAME

instead try

Server Name: HOSTNAME*,PORT*
