Default Token Replacement in SQL Server - any down side to turning it on? - 01-07-2008 , 10:23 AM






Subject says it all, really. I want to start using Token Replacement,
but do I break anything by enabling it? Do jobs that don't use tokens
require any changes? I saw somewhere that it can't be turned off, so
I'm paranoid about enabling it. Anything that I should be aware of?

Many thanks.

I have turned it on for WMI alerts and I have not seen any problems.

Just beware that there are incompatible differences between SQL 2005 RTM
and SQL 2005 SP1. (What was in RTM had security flaws that to be fixed.)
