I'm with Mike on this one (same provider) and have been using Enterprise Manager for years with no issues and a full understanding of the security implications. EM can be slow but the new EM for SQL 2005 seems to be a bit better - not that I will need to use it apart from local db's it seems.
One thing I do not like about EM is you get a full list of databases on the server and not just your own so that could be a security weakness if people do not have strong passwords. Mind you the provider has Northwind installed on a live server. Even on my dev boxes I remove it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:231539 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
