Just extend the edition check to:[code]/* Snapshots are only supported on Developer and Enterprise editions*/ if CAST(serverproperty('Edition') AS VARCHAR) not like 'Enterprise%' and CAST(serverproperty('Edition') AS VARCHAR) not like 'Developer%' begin if @verbose = 1 raiserror('This SQL Server edition does not support snapshots',10,1) return 1 end[/code](I'll post an updated version later)I don't know why the registry check isn't working on your server. Do you have a different instancename? Have you checked your registry?Wed, 09 Jul 2008 01:58:22 GMTWilfred van Dijkhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic507963-1009-1.aspxSnapshots are supported on Developer Edition, not just Enterprise Edition.Also, the call to master..xp_regread doesn't work with my x64 install. Can't find the path in the registry.Tue, 08 Jul 2008 20:48:08 GMTDave Dustinhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic507963-1009-1.aspxComments posted to this topic are about the item [B]<A HREF="/scripts/Database+Snapshots/63243/">usp_createsnapshot</A>[/B]Wed, 28 May 2008 13:19:18 GMTWilfred van Dijk
