SQL Server Ent Mgr - Using favourites in MMC

  • Can someone explain how the favorites can be used in the SQL Server Ent Mgr running in MMC. 

    I can not seem get any sort of functionality out of the favorites options in MMC.

    Let me explain.

    I am using Win2k SP4 (MMC 1.2).  I have a few server groups and each has multiple servers listed under them.  I am aways having to go and check a job under the SQL Server Agent for one particular server.

    I noticed the 'favorites' option in MMC (I have to admit, I had never noticed or used it before), so I thought I would give it a try.

    I navigate to the node for the jobs and add it as a favorite. 

    (It's path is "Microsoft SQL Servers\Dev Servers\DevServ1 (Windows NT)\Management\SQL Server Agent\Jobs")

    The favorite shows up in the 'favorites' list under MMC, but when I select it it takes me back to root node for SQL... 'Microsoft SQL Servers'.!!

    Shouldn't it open the 'Jobs' listing view for the server specifed?  I have tried this on a couple of different machines (workstations and servers) and the same thing happens.

    How should the 'favorites' work?

  • Never tried it and I don't see the option in XP. I'll see if I can dig something up.
