Disabling the SQL Server Browser service prevents clients from resolving named pipe connections to SQL Server instances. This means you'll need to explicitly specify the server and instance name in the connection string using the TCP/IP protocol. It's generally recommended to keep the Browser service running unless you have a specific reason to disable it.
