automating SSMS reports

Is there a way to automate some of the reports available in Sql Server Mgmt
Studio?  I really like several of them, such as the Schema Changes History,
and think they would be helpful from a "compliance" perspective.  So, I've
been exporting a few to PDF or Excel on a regular basis... so it's pretty
obvious that the next step would be to have a job that does automatically on
a scheduled basis (Daily, Weekly, whatever).

Any insight on if this doable w/out too many hoops?

Hello M,

You can download the reports here

You will need to put them in RS and schedule them

So that assumes one has Reporting Services setup and configured... which we
do not.

No other way?

RS is needed if you want the same cool look you currently have in Management
Studio. If you're just after the data, you can pull the queries into a
sproc, tweak it to output to a persistent table and schedule a job to run it
at whatever frequency you need.

We have Reporting Services installed on some servers.  Can we run these
reports against any other SQL Servers in our network.

thanks,
ktm

You can run these reports against any SQL Server 2005 instance.
