  Hi All,

  I have a server to migrate, but it has got 25 email profiles. Now I am already feeling dizzy with the thought of recreating them on new server.

  So can I import DB email profiles? Does SSMS gives me a way to generate script of db profiles or something?

  Thanks in advance.

  take a look at this forum post;

  in the middle of it I've produced a script that exports all the database mail settings and profiles;

  the only tough part is the SMTP password for a given AUTH username/password combo; that's in a credential and cannot be scripted out; but if you know the password you can fill it in;
