Registry Object (SQL-DMO)

The Registry object exposes the Microsoft® Windows NT® or Microsoft Windows® 95 registry settings maintaining a Microsoft SQL Server™ installation and run-time parameters.

Remarks

With the Registry object, you can:

Retrieve SQL Server parameters set during installation, such as the registered owner, character set, and sort order.
Set system start behavior for the SQL Server installation.
Configure SQL Server mail account information.
Configure SQL Server default data- and error-log paths, or set the path for the SQL Server master database.

Changes to property values of the Registry object are applied to the referenced SQL Server installation as they are made.

To set a SQL Server run-time parameter

Get the Registry object from a connected SQLServer object.
Set the parameter. For example, to cause the SQL Server service (MSSQLServer) to start automatically when the system is started, set the AutostartServer property to TRUE.
