    Glad we could help.

  • RE: Remote Server Administration - Drawbacks

    Start here:

    Enable Encrypted Connections

    Enable SSL Encryption for SQL Server Instance

    MSDN Blog on Encrypted Connections

    You can also google "sql 2005 encrypted connection" (without the quotes) for more articles.

  • RE: MSDTC Cluster issue

    Perry,

    I appreciate the help you're trying to give me, but you're giving advice based on incorrect assumptions about my setup. This might be because I'm not stating it correctly. So,...

    Did you try dtcping and dtctester?

    Hadn't heard of those tools until you told me about them. I'll check into them. Thanks for the link.

    Did someone alter DNS settings, firewall...

  • RE: CTE vs Derived Tables

    Sorry it took so long. Had fires to put out.

    SELECT srsf.DTConID, srsf.CNum,

    CASE WHEN srsf.TransactionDate >= srsf.CycleStartDate AND srsf.TransactionDate <= srsf.CycleEndDate

    AND pr1.DTConID IS NULL AND srsf.Status NOT...

  • RE: MSDTC Cluster issue

    Thanks, Perry, but MSDTC is running as a clustered resource (I thought I mentioned that in my first post, but upon re-reading, I apparently phrased the sentence in vague terms)....

  • RE: MSDTC Cluster issue

    Alzdba, Thanks for the links. I've seen a few of them before, but the one on tracing is new and I might just have to do that.

    there are known issues if the clustered DTC resource is not active on the same node as the clustered sql server instance. Windows 2008 clusters allow mulitple clustered...

  • RE: Taking backup with option "Disk = nul"

    Rhox (3/29/2011)


    Why should you use this command for?

    Honestly, I wouldn't use this command. I can't think of one good reason why I would need it in any production environment I...

    The command being discussed has the effect of turning the database (temporarily) to SIMPLE mode because it throws out the transaction log backup

    No it doesn't. It...

  • RE: MSDTC Cluster issue

    ALZDBA (3/29/2011)


    Other Q may be:

    - is this only to a single node or does it happen with all nodes ?

    Sometimes it's just the node that MSDTC is attached to. Sometimes,...

  • RE: Taking backup with option "Disk = nul"

    Rhox (3/29/2011)


    And can we use this command on a mirrored db?

    Or do we need to take other actions to shrink the log-file of a mirrored db?

    I'm curious where you got...
