    Here you go

    Tx, will check it out later this week.

    PS, I love how part 2 of the article links to part 2 of the article instead of part 1 :-D.

    yeah the admins put those links in normally as i have no way of knowing what the path is on their webserver. I'll ask Steve Jones to change it 😉

    Can you ballpark the amount of time required to learn + install?

    you dont want to learn all the clustering stuff, etc. You just want to install VMWare and deploy a VM and install sql server, a day should get you underway.

    You can then do what you like to the VM and know the Live system is untouched. Once the VM is installed and configured you can set the virtual disks static so they roll back to a known state each time.

    Might actually stray into clustering now that I have a decent tutorial (never really researched this!!).

    Thanks again.
