What does it mean when my servers have a white circle instead of a
green circle with a white arrow in it in SQL Server Management
Studio? My dbs are 2000.

Thanks

Usually that means that Management Studio either hasn't tried or is unable
to determine that those servers are running.

It means SQL Server has no information about the status of those servers.

And I can connect fine and do everything. After a connect you would
think it would not the status of RUNNING.
