Check if column exists in MSSQL

if exists(select * from sys.columns 
            where Name = N'columnName' and Object_ID = Object_ID(N'tableName'))
begin
    -- Column Exists
end
 
 
The following does not look in fields 
 
select * from sys.all_objects
where name like '%[what you are looking for]%'

NMAP

It's been about 15 years since I used NMAP, I forgot how useful the tool is. To find out what services are running on an IP address simply use something like nmap -n -v -p1-10000 x.x.x.x -n tells nmap not to do name resolution (saves about 13 seconds if the IP you're scanning isn't in DNS_ -v verbose -p1-10000 says scan ports 1 to 10,000 (otherwise nmap will only scan the first 1000 ports)
