Do you miss the task pad view in management studio, well using this custom report you can get the same view.

To use this in SP2 you need to rename the file to .rdl rather that .rdlc

Thanks to Jasper for the original version

For SQL 2005 SP2 this report is displaying incorrect information under the Maintenance section. I have a SQL 2005 database that is in simple mode. This report is displaying the results for last full backup under last differential backup row. The results for last differential backup is showing under last full backup row. Also the column alignment when results are returned for any of the 4 last backup rows should be left justified instead of right justified. Under Space Allocated section, the text written inside the gray bar should be left justified. If you have a small amount of used use for tlog, the text is overrunning into the blue bar area.

Great, great stuff, Simon - thanks for sharing :) I added a link to this to my own SQL Server 2005 Custom Reports repository: http://forums.learnsqlserver.com/SqlServerTopic109.aspx. By the way, this darn textbox of yours does not allow the ENTER key or the ARROW keys to work!

To use this report it. Download it to a location on your machine. Then in SSMS right click on a database, select reports and then custom reports. You can then select the report you have downloaded and heh presto
