     Microsoft reported BUG : ListAvailableServers Method of the SQLDMO.Application Object Causes Error 0x800A000E . When you execute the ListAvailableServers method of the SQLDMO.Application object from an ASP page, the following error message may occur: Microsoft SQL-DMO (0x800A000E) [SQL-DMO]Not enough storage is available to complete this operation. However, there is some solution to get SQL servers using Client Side script on ASP .

Here is Stored Procedure , which will prepare List of available SQL servers , so you can easy show them in your Web Applications.
