Anybody using Sql Server 2005? I'm curious as to what happened to the Service Manager in the system tray, like SQL 2000 had? I see something called Configuration Manager that does the same stuff (starting/pausing/stopping the Server), but it sure was convenient having that in the system tray before. Anyone know if there's a way to put anything like that in the system tray?

Hey, Bonnie,

SQL Server 2005 services are now built-in with Control Panel-Administrative Tools-Services.

There's no built-in equivalent in SQL2005 for the SQL Server 2000 Service Manager. However, Jasper Smith wrote one that you can download here: http://sqldbatips.com/showarticle.asp?ID=46

(Info came from the MS public SQL Server newsgroup)

Hope that helps...
