• Good article about the tasks a DBA needs to do. I have a couple add-ons:

    * is DR in place? recovery plan/document/script ready?

    * restore verified?

    * review user access

    * what services are running? auto-start?

    * DB auto-grow? reasonable growth rate?

    * any auditor requirement?

    * SLA

    * maintenance window

    * any other application other than sql server running on the server?

    * peak time

    Should have more. Leave to the others to fill it up.
