Can I Manage MSDE With SSMS??

Hello,

We have an XP workstation containing a very important MSDE-based
application. Its MSDE database isn't likely to change for quite a
while.

The app contains an internal backup method (File, Backup, Backup) and
an auxiliary app/script for shrinking the database and logs. I would
like to automate the backup and shrinking so end users don't have to
remember to do them.

The workstation has a static IP so it can go out to the Internet when
necessary.
The workstation is presently not joined to the domain.

1. Can I install SSMS Express *only* as a local app (without SQL
Express 2005) and thus use SSMS to set up nightly backups and periodic
shrink database/logs jobs??

2. We have SSMS running on SQL 2005 server box in the domain. If I
join the workstation only to the domain (local account logon is not
changed, still used), could I use SSMS from the SQL 2005 box?? Would I
need a domain login on the XP box to make this work??

Thank you, Tom
