I was just saddled with SQL Server 2005 Express after having SQL Server
MSDE.  I was able to use Enterprise Manager to schedule database backups
automatically.
  Is there a tool that works with SQL Server 2005 Express that allows me to
automatically schedule database optimizations, data and index checks, backup
database and backup transaction logs?  Is that tool a free downloadable one? 
I would rather have a free downloadable one as opposed to having to purchase
one.
  I looked into SQL Server Management Studio Express and I do not see
anything there that will accomplish that.
  Thanks.

And also http://sqldbatips.com/showarticle.asp?ID=29 which has had more work
done on it recently and has better support for things like disabled indexes.
I will update the TSQL version when I get some time :-)
