Turns out it was another mistake (big one, but not as big). He had left live vm snapshots on for 2 weeks. Managed to fill up a drive with 5-10 TB of free space in less than 2 weeks.Which only 9 of our prod servers share! Only 1 of them was down this morning, the prod ERP!
Impressive. Almost as good as the server admin I worked with last year who dropped a VM. Yes, you read that right, he deleted the virtual machine. It was only the production SQL Server, nothing too important.
Wow, how did you
guysgirls recover form that?
Backups!
And yes, it was 'girls'. The men watched while my colleague (also female) and I saved the day. Naturally.

I have experienced a few problems such as described by both Gail and Remi with netadmins/domadmins doing things on/to VMs that they shouldn't have. In our case, we had both snapshots and backups of all the vms on the host so we could recover.

Of course, girls are usually that way. 😀

So I'm searching on thin clients and SQL Server and come up with this little gem:

As the technomancers in Shadowrun say "The Resonance never forgets." Read down a couple of paragraphs to the second header and you'll see what I mean.

I hear great things about SQL 7. Should be a game changer. 🙂

It's an almost 12 year old article, so I'm not sure why you're shocked by that.

I think she's just amused that in her search she came up with a 12 year old article. That's certainly what amused me about it.

Yeah, I always try to save the day artificially.

I need to give a training on SQL Server 2008 Database Administration and I have to do it in next couple of days. It will be a two day training. Now the thing is, that I have to prepare the content (ppt) also for that & I have don't have much time available to create the presentaions from scratch.
Does anybody know any link/resource where I can get some ready available material for that ??
Any help would be appreciated.:-)

I don't have room on my machine either.Two words: External harddrive.
Seriously, I've had to do that once or twice.
I can't even get them to buy that. : -(
I thought SQL Server files had to be on an internal drive unless they were on a SAN. I must be mis-remembering something.
My local copy runs off of several USB drives. I even had the logs going to one, and the MDF files are on another.

Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part...unless you're my manager...or a director and above...or a really loud-spoken end-user..All right - what was my emergency again?

That's pretty much it. This is like my boss's boss coming up with SQL 6.5 books when he cleaned out his office last year. He tried to pawn them off on us saying this was "important information you need to know in order to do your job."
Then he offered to pay us a quarter to take the books off his hands. @=)

Let's start at the beginning. What level of experience will your students have? What subjects do you plan on focusing on? Is this a broad "here's the entire meal, pick and choose quick because you don't have time to taste it" type of class, or a very specific "Here are three or four dishes, notice the spice, garnish, and plate presentation" type of class?
