Management Studio - External Tools?
-
Hi all,
In SQL2K Enterprise Manager External Tools I am able to add parameters to a command in order to explore remote server drives (i.e- command: c:\windows\explorer.exe, parameter \\[SRV]\E$). I don't seem to be able to figure out how to get the same functionality in Management Studio. Does any one know how?

How are you entering the arguments. All I seem to be to see is my own C drive.

In the External Tools dialog box:
Title: Explore
Command: C:\Windows\explorer.exe
Arguments: \\server\path
Initial Directory: [blank]
I pointed the arguments at our backup server, and now when I click on Tools>Explore, I get an explorer window showing that server and path.
Is that what you're trying to accomplish?

No - EM in 2K used replaceable parameters. [SRV] would be replaced by the server name currently selected in the list of SQL Servers. I was hoping to di the same in MS.
