What is a shared drive/s used by SQL Server instance?

SQL Server 2005 has a great dynamic management view named sys.dm_io_cluster_shared_drives . If you have clustering and want to know what
shared disk/s which is/are used by clustered SQL Server instance run the following query.

SELECT DriveName
FROM sys.dm_io_cluster_shared_drives
ORDER BY DriveName

Running DTS without SQL Server?

Seems like unreasonable request.Well, we had a client who wanted by click on icon on his Desktop to launch a DTS Package which runs on another computer.I'd like to share with you the script that friend of mine created on a workstation that did not have SQL Server installed.
