SQL 2005 Service Manager 2.0.0.5

The SQL 2005 Service Manager was designed to be a replacement for the SQL Server Service Manager that came with SQL Server 2000 but is no longer shipped as part of SQL Server.
It allows the management and monitoring of all local SQL Server related services from a convenient system tray application for all editions of SQL Server 2000, 2005 and 2008.
To use SQL2005 Service Manager simply unzip the downloaded file into a folder and double click on SQL2005 Service Manager Setup.msi to install. For the Windows Vista version, please read the Install Instructions in the zip file and ensure the SQLServiceManager service is started before using the application.
The behaviour of SQL2005 Service Manager is very similar to that of the SQL Server Service Manager that is part of Microsoft SQL Server 2000, one exception being that it will always start minimized in the system tray. Another is that the tool only manages local instances.
The system tray icon has a right click menu allowing service and instance selection and control of the currently selected service. Double clicking on the icon or choosing Open SQL2005 Service Manager from the menu will bring up the familiar user interface allowing instance and service selection and control of the selected service. The installer adds a shortcut to your Startup folder so if you dont want it to start automatically simply delete the shortcut.
