SQLDMO: Registry->AutostartMail property

20 May 2006 8:38 PM

The SQLDMO Registry object exposes a boolean property called AutostartMail.
It is always returning FALSE, even though we have database mail configured
and enabled in SQL 2005.

I assume that since the SQLDMO Registry object exposes this property, that
it must be a registry entry somewhere we can examing for verification. But I
can not find any such registry value.

Does anyone know where the AutostartMail property is actually stored so we
can examine it instead of relying on the SQLDMO Registry object?

Many thanks!

SQLDMO has limited support for SQL 2005, SMO is the new management library
for 2005. And SQL 2005 Database Mail is a different feature from SQL 2000
SQL Mail. My guess it that AutostartMail is referring to SQL Mail, not
Database Mail.

Hello Mark,

AutostartMail is for SQL mail which is dependent on MAPI. Though SQL 2005
still supports SQLMail, it is for compatiblity purpose. Database mail is
new feature in SQL 2005 which is based on smtp.
