How to list all the installed SQL Server on the Server using TSQL
The SQL Server instances are independent and do not know each other. The method is to query the registry to find the instances.
You can use the following Script to list all the installed sql server on the server using TSQL
Solution
=========
Set NoCount On
Declare @CurrID int,@ExistValue int, @MaxID int, @SQL nvarchar(1000)
Declare @TCPPorts Table (PortType nvarchar(180), Port int)
Declare @SQLInstances Table (InstanceID int identity(1, 1) not null primary key,
InstName nvarchar(180),
Folder nvarchar(50),
StaticPort int null,
DynamicPort int null,
Platform int null);
Declare @Plat Table (Id int,Name varchar(180),InternalValue varchar(50), Charactervalue varchar (50))
Declare @Platform varchar(100)
Insert into @Plat exec xp_msver platform
select @Platform = (select 1 from @plat where charactervalue like '%86%')
If @Platform is NULL
Begin
Insert Into @SQLInstances (InstName, Folder)
Exec xp_regenumvalues N'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE',
N'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Instance Names\SQL';
Update @SQLInstances set Platform=64
End
else
Begin
Insert Into @SQLInstances (InstName, Folder)
Exec xp_regenumvalues N'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE',
N'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Instance Names\SQL';
Update @SQLInstances Set Platform=32
End
Declare @Keyexist Table (Keyexist int)
Insert into @Keyexist
Exec xp_regread'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE',
N'SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Instance Names\SQL';
select @ExistValue= Keyexist from @Keyexist
If @ExistValue=1
Insert Into @SQLInstances (InstName, Folder)
Exec xp_regenumvalues N'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE',
N'SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Instance Names\SQL';
Update @SQLInstances Set Platform =32 where Platform is NULL
Select @MaxID = MAX(InstanceID), @CurrID = 1
From @SQLInstances
While @CurrID <= @MaxID
Begin
Delete From @TCPPorts
Select @SQL = 'Exec xp_instance_regread N''HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE'',
N''SOFTWARE\Microsoft\\Microsoft SQL Server\' + Folder + '\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib\Tcp\IPAll'',
N''TCPDynamicPorts'''
From @SQLInstances
Where InstanceID = @CurrID
Insert Into @TCPPorts
Exec sp_executesql @SQL
Select @SQL = 'Exec xp_instance_regread N''HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE'',
N''SOFTWARE\Microsoft\\Microsoft SQL Server\' + Folder + '\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib\Tcp\IPAll'',
N''TCPPort'''
From @SQLInstances
Where InstanceID = @CurrID
Insert Into @TCPPorts
Exec sp_executesql @SQL
Select @SQL = 'Exec xp_instance_regread N''HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE'',
N''SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\\Microsoft SQL Server\' + Folder + '\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib\Tcp\IPAll'',
N''TCPDynamicPorts'''
From @SQLInstances
Where InstanceID = @CurrID
Insert Into @TCPPorts
Exec sp_executesql @SQL
Select @SQL = 'Exec xp_instance_regread N''HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE'',
N''SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\\Microsoft SQL Server\' + Folder + '\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib\Tcp\IPAll'',
N''TCPPort'''
From @SQLInstances
Where InstanceID = @CurrID
Insert Into @TCPPorts
Exec sp_executesql @SQL
Update SI
Set StaticPort = P.Port,
DynamicPort = DP.Port
From @SQLInstances SI
Inner Join @TCPPorts DP On DP.PortType = 'TCPDynamicPorts'
Inner Join @TCPPorts P On P.PortType = 'TCPPort'
Where InstanceID = @CurrID;
Set @CurrID = @CurrID + 1
End
Select serverproperty('ComputerNamePhysicalNetBIOS') as ServerName, InstName, StaticPort, DynamicPort,Platform
From @SQLInstances
Set NoCount Off
Note: The above script may not return the desired results when run on 32 bit Edition of Sql Server which is installed on 64 bit Windows Server

The solution from Pravin is the favorite because of the concerns SoHelpMeCodd has mentioned from the connect-item. Just one "little" correction to th pretty fine solution from Parvin: use SQLCMD -Lc to get rid of the TRIM in the SELECT-statement Lc will output a short simple list of all servers
