Hello,

I was wondering if the SQL server registration information held in the registry for Enterprise Manager could be used by another SQLDMO based application? I can see how a developer could pull out and present a list of registered servers using the registry, but they would then need to re-enter their registration credentials.

Is the credential information held in the registry in an accessible form, or is there a way of doing this without the using having to retype the credentials?

Thank's in advance.

Mike

The information is stored in the registry, however it is encrypted. There are a bunch of utilities out there that can scan the network for SQL Servers. I believe MS has one called sqlscan.exe.
