SMO Compared with SQL Server Distributed Management Objects

SMO is a replacement for SQL-DMO

SQL-DMO retained only for backward compatibility

SMO uses an administrator-centric view

SMO and WMI

For monitoring and configuring servers

SMO Scripting

Scripter class provides enhanced scripting features
