  Hi guys,

  I feel bad for asking this, but can anyone remember an article done about 3-4 months ago (on this site) about a list of items/checks for a production/new environment? I.e remove built-in admins, configure database mail, change the default database paths, some security best practices etc.

  I've Google'd & searched this site for a couple of hours without any luck.

  Thanks,

  Lian

  There are a couple of interesting articles on that theme...

  http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Administration/61319/ by Dawyl Quadros

  and

  http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Career/61535/ By Andy Warren

  ...are two that I keep handy.

  Thanks a mil, Adrian. I'll find use for these.

  The particular article I'm looking for was done not too long ago - Probably 3-4 months. There are one or two things mentioned there that my brain know's are of use to me now, but I can't put my finger on any keywords to retrieve it.

  Am I getting old? :blink:
