You might care to save your big manager from himself, and leave yourself a back door.

Just be sure to SAVE A COPY of these. In particular - keep a copy of the syscomments records related to this. Trust me - you will need these in the future, possibly as early as the next Service pack you need to apply.

Also - make a permanent backup of your system DB's before you do this. You might as well read up on how to restore those, and be ready to do so at a moment's notice.

Nothing like have to reverse engineer SSP's back into a database (which will be deemed corrupted by MS who will then instruct you to restore the database, or reinstall SQL Server).

In case you didn't catch that from my previous post - I've been in this scenario (where a series of SSP's went "missing"), and let's just say - it was a BIG deal, and took a long time and multiple issues opened and heated discussions had with MS support.
