Upgrading

Upgrading a SQL-DMO application is not possible. The application must be rewritten using SMO classes. See SQL-DMO Mapping to SMO.

SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 7.0 Support

The following SMO namespaces are not supported by earlier versions of SQL Server:

• Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.NotificationServices

• Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Broker

• Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Mail

• Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.RegisteredServer

• Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Wmi

• Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Trace

Partial support for earlier versions is available for Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Agent and Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo namespaces.
