    Finally getting around to doing some work on SQL 2008, and after about 3 minutes, I run into this error: “Saving Changes is not permitted.. blah blah blah” See screenshot below. This is different than SQL 2005. Microsoft maybe trying to save us from ourselves? The thing is, I never ...

  8. Use SQL 2008 Express As A Central Management Server

    I had the chance to catch Brent Ozar's webcast last week on creating a poor man's CMDB. In it he talked at length about the Central Management Server feature in SQL 2008. While I use SSMS 2008 my only SQL 2008 database installs so far are running inside ...

  9. Register A Server More Than Once In SSMS

    In yesterday's post about using SQL 2008 Express as a Central Management Server I mentioned that you can't register a server more than once in Object Explorer. Technically that's correct, but I meant to say Registered Servers. It turns out that you can register a server more ...
