my organization have a number of Standard Edition SQL Servers licensed per CPU plus some SQLEXpress instances, is it supposed to be permitted to deploy SSMS on desktop workstations and/or servers to administer both? have found it dfifficult to find clarification, although one post on the web quoted a MS representative as affirmative on this.
another point that I would like to clear up is if it is permitted to schedule jobs on Express using a Standard Edition Agent, which works quite well technically.
THanks for your experiences /opinion

About the licensing issue I'm also not really a 100% sure, but I think that it's ok to manage your Express editions from SSMS which is covered by any other license.
About the SQL Agent jobs run from another server I would say that to the Express instance it's just an incoming connection like any other and shouldn't be a problem at all. It makes no difference if the connection is made by a user or a windows service.
