Execute SQL-DMO Database method on all databases

,

This script allows you to specify a method and a server (or multiple servers.) It will then execute the method on every database on the server. With very minor tweaking you could have it search for the servers, then call the server db script with each one, or add another nesting to call tables or whatever other object you like. You could even switch up the eval statements a little and call a generic object/method caller. Tested on sql2k with just a few databases.
