Microsoft SQL Server Management Objects Collection

What is Microsoft SQL Server Management Objects Collection?

SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) is a collection of objects that are designed for programming all aspects of managing Microsoft SQL Server. SQL Server Replication Management Objects (RMO) is a collection of objects that encapsulates SQL Server replication management.

Overview

The most used version is 9.00.1399.06, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The software installer includes 145 files and is usually about 10.56 MB (11,068,361 bytes). Microsoft.SqlServer.PackageFormatUpdate.dll is the automatic update component of the software designed to download and apply new updates should new versions be released.
