I need to create an alias for instance on my SQL 2014. I have four other instances on the SQL server.
I used the SQL Server configuration manager to create the alias. I tried to use the management studio to connect but I can't connect. I created the alias under the Aliases (32bit and 64 bit). Used the port listed under TCP Dynamic Ports that is listed (49991) still can't connect. What am I missing? Also what is the setting for the server block? Is it just the server name or the server name\instance name? Do I need to create both alias for 32 and 64 bit?
