I think you have things a little out of order.

I'm not sure you need to disconnect from the domain, but wouldn't you create all the partitions and copy the files,...

You can set the default file to be the NDF in the database properties. Then you can move the tables that experience growth to the new file by recreating their...

Very nice. Hope you had good boots for the outing.

Don't mind Bob. He's got brain freeze from standing outside the office door too long looking for the sun

I'm not sure there's less infrastructure required, but it's an argument being made by salesforce.com, SAAS, and others since they do some help desk stuff for their software.

I do agree...

Event Viewer also shows. Not sure of the entry, but you can filter on the service and check on the #.

Brian,

Glad it's working, but can you tell us the ini file? Someone might run into this again and it would be nice if they saw your solution.

Thanks

No automatic way. I guess partitioned tables could work, but it's up to you.

One thing that might make sense is creating another database, duplicate the table and then copy the...

While it's a bad practice and could prevent you from selling the product in some cases, especially where Sarbanes Oxley is being taken seriously, you're right. Ultimately it's a management...

That seems like a bug if it's fragmentation related. I'd spend the $$ for a call to PSS and have them diagnose it. They're good and the money is refunded...
