Yes. I will have to admit that I don't know any tips of discovering 
SQL Servers.

Then again, if I as a developer install SQL Server on my workstation
to have as my playground, should you really care? I can assure that I'm
running any backups! :-)

One tool to monitor servers is the Policy Based Management that ships with 
SQL 2008 or later. I'm not entirely excited about all features, but I 
think it works better for monitoring than preventing.

Again, you probably need to tell it which servers to monitor, but as I
said, I donä't think you want to monitor all instances in your network.
