While it can snow here anytime in Denver (surprised we haven't had any in Sept), we don't have a lot of snow here. The vast majority of the time the...

I'll definitely keep an on the tires and mileage. I don't remember the brand that was on there originally, but they never seemed to grip well.

Would we be more efficient...

You're right. How about this?

Where is the data stored for the Data Collector in SQL Server 2008? (configiuration, collector sets, and metric data points)

Not sure what you mean here. Do you mean on the home section of the forums (/forums) to have the authors forums listed? Part of the issue is the count...

I thought it was 2x, but in any case, you need space to rebuild the indexes. It doesn't drop them first, it creates a new one, then drops the old...

I'll disagree slightly with Grant.

Split your backups from the log and data first if you can. If you lose the data and logs, you'll have your backups. Next, depending on...

There's a lot to check. Do you know what queries will be run? Are they efficient given your design? You have to look at the joins and information you pull...

One interesting note I noticed from my company. The HR group at Red Gate will send around a note a few times a year when they notice someone coming into...
