Discovering SQL databases

Hi, I'm in the process of migrating / decommissioning a series of SQL
servers.
Is there / are there any tools to sniff out any existing eroneous SQL
databases which people may have created by themselves?
TIAThere are several ways to accomplish the task. Here are a couple ideas.
User SQLPing. Read about its usage here:

A simple bat file idea:

And of course, any decent network scanning tool.

I use SQL Recon: http://www.specialopssecurity.com/labs/sqlrecon/
Great utility to find any instance running on the network.
