    Nice article.

    External tools also don't work the same in sql2k5.  Managing 100+ sql server environments, using the [SRV] parameter in enterprise manager's external tools is handy for accessing explorer, server manager & event viewers on current sql server environments.  Even though sql2005 books online says it works the same, it doesn't work in management studio.

    Polling is controllable in sql 2k enterprise manager, but no control in sql2k5 management studio.  With several DBAs having management studio open with 100+ servers registered = a lot of clutter in security event logs, unneccessary network traffic & overhead on workstations.
