  1. Windows Cluster Scripting with WMI and PowerShell

    Windows 2008 R2 includes a failoverclusters PowerShell module, but you’ll probably find normal usage limiting for several reasons: Only works on Windows 2008 R2 clusters Requires the cluster service which in effect makes it difficult to run remotely except via PSRemoting Implements specialized data types instead of using WMI ...

  2. Reflecting on 2010

    All week I’ve been enjoying reading observations about this year from fellow SQL Server bloggers.  A recurring theme seems to be that we all can always keep getting better, which is something I think about quite often.  I’m very proud of my professional progress this year, particularly that ...

  3. SSMS SQLCMD Mode

    A question was posted on the MSDN forums in regards to executing a query file from SQL Server management studio without having to first open the file. My first instinct was to use xp_cmdshell or even create a clr procedure, but this was way overkill. I began to respond pointing ...

  4. 2010 PASS Summit Interviews

    It’s entirely fair to say that the highlight of my professional year is the PASS Summit in Seattle, and the highlight of the Summit is the recorded interviews we do each year (starting in 2009). The way we pick interviews is, we say “Who do we like, and/or ...

    Here is one of the forum questions I responded to yesterday. When executing a query using FREETEXT, the following error message was displayed. Since the error message mentions about permissions of the service account, it was checked. The Service Account had sufficient privileges. This TechNet article clearly mentions the root ...

  7. First SQLSaturday in Wheeling, West Virginia was a Success!

    After SQL Saturday #36 on May 1st 2010 my wife and I headed to Spain.  Somehow this post got lost in the shuffle when I got back. I thought it is important to share my thoughts of the event so here it is. The first SQLSaturday in West Virginia can ...

  8. Video: Interview – Part 1: Quest Software

    Heather Eichman interviews Kevin Kline, the former President of PASS and strategy manager for the SQL Server business unit at Quest Software. Posted January 24, 2008.

  9. We are currently running on an EMC SAN. Did I hear you correctly, we should have databases, backups, temp, and logs on the same LUN? Thanks.

    No, you want to put them on different LUNs.  IBM is currently recommending that on the XIV array that everything can be put on a single LUN as the LUN is spread over all the disks in the array.  For an EMC array you’ll want to have separate LUNs ...

  10. Sixth Blog Birthday

    Every year on December 30th (or thereabouts) I write a blog post summarising what I’ve been up to this year, to mark this blog’s birthday. Today is my blog’s sixth birthday which, to be honest, I find pretty amazing – but then every year I’m amazed at ...
