You are the administrator of eight SQL Server 2000 computers. You configure alerts on each server so that various problem conditions will be reported if they occur.You create 20 operators on one of the servers. You configure these operators by using the e-mail and pager contact information for the employees in your department. You configure the alerts on the server to send e-mail messages and pager messages to the appropriate operators.You need to configure the same 20 operators on the other seven servers. You want to do this with a minimum amount of administrative time.What should you do?

Correct Answer: Use SQL Server Enterprise Manager to script all of the operators. Use SQL Query Analyzer to run the script on the other seven servers.

Transact-SQL scripts can be used to create defined operators or alerts. Scripting all thepredefined operators and alerts and copying them to the servers if the same group of operators is responsible for responding to the same alerts on other servers can save time.
