Hi all,
Just wondering is there any ways to export the reg setting of the SQL registrations? as in all the servers u set up in EM, or what will be the best way to move all my reg server to another server (including groups)?
Thanks

well, there used to be. But that turned out to be a security problem because passwords were located in there and they were in plaintext.

Nowadays the data is encrypted. You can export the entire key, but when you import it to another server you will only have the groups you've defined. None of the servers will be listed because of the encryption thing.

There is a SQL DMO scripted solution to this though. I'll dig around and post it when I find it.

thanks, i'm only using NT auth, so shouldn't have the passwd issue :) I read sql 2005 can do that, so hopefully 2000 can :)
I'll be waiting for your DMO solution
Thanks

Thanks, it works fine for 1 level group, but I have 2nd level groups, guess I need to mod the code to get it to work for me :)
thanks anyway.
