Full Text Indexing Option Disabled

i can again/still/no longer manage full-text indexes on SQL Server.
i'm logged on locally to my server, as an administrator. EM is set to poll
the server.
Has anyone written a gui to manage SQL Server free-text indexing?

Do you know which tool is used to maintain a full-text catalog / enable
disable table / start stop automatic-change tracking / start top incremental
population / start stop full population / see what databases/tables/columns
are being FT indexed / view/edit the work breaker set on a column / etc?
|||Under the covers some procs are used in SQL 2000, in SQL 2005 its moved into
the engine.
In SQL 2000 in some of the earlier versions you could use some of the com
components to manage parts of it. Have a look at ssadmin.vbs in
