Scripting creation of server alias

Does anyone know if there's a way to script creation of a server alias,
as you can do using the Client Network Utility?allancady@.yahoo.com wrote:

Do you mean from a T-SQL script? The utility just writes to the
registration database. Sniff the regdb while you perform adding a new
alias and see where it goes. Then you can use any programming tool or
just a .reg file to add the new data to everyones PC. From a domain this
is easy.
You can sniff the regdb using free tools from www.sysinternals.com
