Hi Everyone,

I manage a several instances that have about 50 jobs on each instance. I also have one Disaster Recovery instance for each Production Instance that I manage. (So I'd say around 140 jobs total).

I've been trying to find a way to script the Jobs, scrub them (to change the server name/file paths where needed, for example), and apply them to the DR servers.

1) Generate Scripts command works, but this is a manual process and I am seeking to eliminate this and automate it.
2) I've looked at scptxfr.exe and unfortunately it does not script jobs.
3) Backing up and restoring msdb is not an option since I have additional jobs on the DR servers for monitoring purposes.
4) I believe that there may be a SQL-DMO script for this? (I've searched for 2 hours now and haven't seen one). I do not have access to Visual Studio to tweak it (effectively). I suppose I would use sp_OA stored procs to execute it?

Thanks for any insights you can provide on this matter.

sp s_ScriptObjects
Search for JOBS

Or add all the SPs and just call with JOBS as parameter.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
