Yes and no...I am assuming that you're talking about auditing failed logins, etc. &nbsp;IF so, you can do it in TSQL, but it ends up calling an extended stored proc.<br />
<br />
EXEC xp_instance_regwrite N'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE', N'Software\Microsoft\MSSQL<wbr />Server\MSS<wbr />QLServer',<wbr /> N'AuditLevel', REG_DWORD, 3<br />

<div>
Will it change the audit level for the SQL instance to ALL?<br />
Does it work for SQL Server 2000 and 2005?<br />
I intend to run that on hundreds of servers.<br />
<br />
Thx for your answer.
