    SQL Server Monitoring Tools

    I'm looking at various monitoring tools and wanted to see if anyone had suggestions. So far I've played with products SQL Sentry, Red-Gate, Quest and Confio. I'm liking Red-Gate the most in terms of ease of use and what information it provides. Anyone have any suggestions or experiences?

    YTD in SQL

    Not on the top of my game this week so thought I should ask others instead of driving myself nuts missing the obvious. Simple problem, I'm writing a report that I want to display YTD aggregates for the prior three years out of my data warehouse. For simplicity, say the star schema is date...

    Server 08 R2 Failover Network Question

    I thought I had a pretty decent understanding of server failover clustering in 08 R2 but I cannot for the life of me understand why this occurred. Have a 2 node SQL cluster. Have a "public" network connected to our lan using a 192.168.x.x subnet and a "private" network using a cross over...

    Exchange 2010: To DAG or not to DAG

    We are looking to migrate to Exchange 2010 from 2003 (I know) and I wanted to get some opinions on using DAG. We will be virtualized the entire install using vSphere 5 and we will have about 4000 mailboxes. So far I'm leaning away from DAG for a couple reasons. First, vSphere provides...

    Irony thy name be MW2

    So does anyone else see the irony that Infinity Ward made a big deal about all the cheaters using party chat and they have produced the most glitched game I have ever seen on xbox? Maybe if they would have spent just a little time on game balance and net code and less time on chat control this...

    Army of Two

    Only saw one old thread on this one thought I'd open a new one. I beat it last night with my buddy and while I can see how the single player would suck the co-op on it is fantastic. This game obviously is heavily influenced by gears with less polish to it but is still fun to play with a...

    Inbox moved to Deleted Items (Exchange 2k3)

    Don't know how this happens but I've seen it maybe 3 times in the year and a half I've worked in this environment. Basically the inbox ends up under the deleted items folder and you can't just move it back out in OWA or outlook because it's a special folder. I've tried /cleanviews...

    Titan Quest: Immortal Throne

    I popped in the original yesterday and have made it to delphi so far on a new character. I was wondering what all the expansion added to the mix besides the extra level? Do we get new runes or anything good to add to the customization of weapons/armor? I'm not much of a caster so the new...

    For the lucky's that have put some time in it what you think? As good as Halo 1? Or closer to Halo 2? What features you like? Weapons? Graphics? I got to play for about 30 last night, 3 matches one on each map. The maps are smallish I thought. Probably meant that way for the beta but...

    My launch 360 finally kicked it so I'll be getting a gift card from Circuit. I'll probably hold off until the elite is out later this month but anyway I know on my launch box that you could get a 2 year warranty through Microsoft for 60 but I wasn't sure if they still offer it at the same price...
