SCCM Discovery Connection with database instance name

Question

I'm testing the v12 release candidate, but I could never get this to work on the previous version either. Our SCCM database requires the specification of an instance, but there is no field for that in the Discovery Connector, either for SCCM or for a plain SQL database. I've tried the standard \ nomenclature, but nothing works. How do you specify a SQL instance?

I've been able to get SCCM 2012 to work with version 11.2.1.  On the server host spot, i've put in the ip address it added port 1433 on its own.  On database name, I just used the SCCM database.  You have to use a sql user account as a network account won't work.  Make sure you've also checked sql and microsoft authentication on the sql server instance.  Kept running into authentication issues before I changed to a sql account.
