OSQL -L

Hi All,
Can anyone please tell me if we issue "OSQL -L " at command prompt, does it
lists all the SQL Servers in the network or just windows servers within the
network?
Thanks,
VMIt shows you all broadcasted SQL Server instances over the net, whereas the
instances are hided for discovery.

SQL Servers. But be carefull, because if you create an alias using Client
Network Utility, this command will list it even if the alias is not
associated with a physical server.
