Is the SMO library freely-distributable? What would happen if you created a Powershell application using SMO, and then wanted to install it on a computer that didn't have SSMS on it? It would seem a reasonable thing to want to do.

Best wishes,

Yes, SMO is redistributable and is available as a separate installation outside of SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS):

It appears that the SMO components may be redistributable. The Management Objects package is freely available from Microsoft's site (as part of the Feature Pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=536fd7d5-013f-49bc-9fc7-77dede4bb075&displaylang=en) or Feature Pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=228DE03F-3B5A-428A-923F-58A033D316E1&displaylang=en)

Additionally, there is a blurb contained within the verbiage of the download page which reads:

Download the appropriate file by clicking one of the links below, then run the downloaded file to install that package.
Each package indicates the audience(s) for which it was intended, as follows:

Customer: An individual may want to install this for additional licensed functionality such as interoperability.
Partner: An ISV may want to ship this as a redistributable component as part of their application.
Developer: A programmer may want to install this to support application development.

So it looks good for SMO being redistributable.

Thanks both of you for the info. That was very helpful, and makes the SMO solution look very attractive.

Yes, you can download the management objects separately. You get them from the feature pack downloads for the version you are using. For example, SQL Server 2005 feature packs can be found at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=536fd7d5-013f-49bc-9fc7-77dede4bb075&displaylang=en

Good article Chad,

You hear about these things and don't have time to look into them, then someone comes along and writes a nice concise article demonstrating a real cool tool.

Thanks,
