Who changed the file growth settings?

  • Every morning I see the file growth setting of one database changes from MB to %. I happens sometime during the day, and sure as hell it is not me. Is there anyway that I can see who changed or, or at what time it was changed?

    Do you know of any script or trigger that can alert me when this happens?

    Thanks in advance

  • Which database is it (system or user)?

    We had an issue with our tempdb doing the same thing. We fixed it by changing the model db settings.

  • It is a user database

  • You might want to look into a ddl trigger at the database level or the use of event notifications. Either of these options could alert you to somebody trying to change the database properties.

  • Hi,

    The SQL Server Management Studio Standard Reports – Schema Changes History Report of the Respective DB can help you in identifying who changed this setting and when.

    Cheers!!!
