[font="Tahoma"]In EM for SQL2K Enterprise when Log Shipping is configured, in the Management tab you get the 'Log Shipping Monitor' so that a DBA can monitor the logs, nothing fancy however it is kinda useful.
At our company for 2005 and 2008 we mostly use Mirroring as the main choice of data replication/high availability. However I was wondering if there is anything equivalent for 2000's Log Shipping Monitor. Should we configure LS in 2005/2008 is there any nice gui that I can use to monitor the logs and check they are in sync - basically like the DB Mirroring Monitor. I have read about the SQL Server Management Pack for 2005/2008 however does that mean you have to have MOM bolted on?
Ideas welcome.
