It asks for things "disabled" by default. SQL Mail is NOT INSTALLED by default. That is entirely different than disabled.Wed, 20 Aug 2008 07:17:51 GMTScott Klein-508332http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic554756-1242-1.aspxThe question is ok in my opinion...:)Wed, 20 Aug 2008 00:57:11 GMTAnipaulhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic554756-1242-1.aspxI think the QOD is just fine. The default for these features is disabled - whether they are installed or not is a different question. Just my opinion.Tue, 19 Aug 2008 19:06:15 GMTChristian Buettner-167247http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic554756-1242-1.aspxYou have to consider all platforms, this question does not.The "correct" answer is not valid.The official "Security note" from BOL is below:[i]Security Note: SQL Mail is not installed by default in SQL Server 2005. For more information, see Surface Area Configuration. SQL Mail is not supported on 64-bit versions of SQL Server. SQL Mail stored procedures cannot be installed on 64-bit versions. [/i]This feature is not just disabled, it isn't present. For those of us that know the difference, it's huge.Tue, 19 Aug 2008 14:23:40 GMTDoug Elwood-471888http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic554756-1242-1.aspx[quote]I guess your issue is with SQL Mail?Technically yes - but practically, none of these are enabled, so the end result is the same.In fact MSDN/BOL regards them to be 'disabled' (MS words not mine)....[url]http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms183753(SQL.90).aspx[/url][/quote]True.
