Getting row count of table in SQL Server 2005

It is much easier in SQL Server 2005 to get row count per table.

SELECT
[TableName]=tbl.name,
[RowCount] = SUM
(
CASE
WHEN (pt.index_id < 2) AND (au.type = 1) THEN pt.rows
ELSE 0
END
)
FROM
sys.tables tbl
INNER JOIN sys.partitions pt
ON tbl.object_id = pt.object_id
INNER JOIN sys.allocation_units au
ON pt.partition_id = au.container_id
GROUP BY
tbl.name ORDER BY [RowCount]DESC;
