• Well, I have systems running with SP2 + still facing the issue.

    And I know few people who have the same issue even after sp3.

    Lemme explain a bit more on how the growth part is done. This scripts I use alert me the log which are 75% or more full. We increase the size at a downtime or at non peak hours. The reason is a file growth happening at peak hour can have a serious performance impact and its a good practice to monitor closely have it done yourself instead of relying on auto grow.

    Having said that, as Production DBAs with almost zero knowledge about

    application and being responsible for few hundred databases across several servers, its hard to allocate perfectly at one shot. We do by getting the info we have. And when autogrow needs to be done occasionally( probably abt once in 2 months) we do.
