Useful video, but no mention at all as to what "SMO" is.

Jon, it's short for SQL Server Management Objects. You can read more about them at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162169.aspx

great presentation skills.. however the title implied this was how to create indexes, not report on them. It's still good stuff - just mislabeled.

Actually, I think a video around 8 minutes is a proper one.

good demo

Very good method, would have liked an indication of what we do with the information e.g. some reference to another video or documentation on index fragmentation.

Very good lesson.

Points off for mis-naming the segment: a much more accurate title would be "Creating a Report on SQL Server Indexes Using SMO" Points off for screen resolution: need much higher reso.

I mislabeled the title. It has been fixed!

a sample of the code to download would be nice for those who do not program that much. Thx for your work.
