SQL Distributed Management Objects

How can we use this stuff?

The text book answer would be "The SQL-DMO allows you to create custom management applications for SQL Server and MSDE".

It is really up to you on how you decide to use the SQL-DMO. I use it to modify stored procedures, execute jobs and DTS packages, and view system information for clients who have chosen to run the MSDE or SQL Server as their web server database. Since I can not visit each site every time a client has a problem, I have developed a set of ASP scripts that are loaded on their web servers that enable me to monitor and administer their databases.

I hope this article and sample code will produce a few more uses for this powerful feature.

    Hi,

    I read your article and it is indeed an informative one.  However I am having some serious problems creating a Job Schedule in VB.NET.  I have managed to reduce the number of errors in the properties of the JobSchedule Object but I am still experiencing some difficulty...

    You said you would help with any questions soI appeal to you for help!!

    Regards,
