  Hello All,

  I'm hoping you all can provide me with a little advice? I just landed my first DBA position with a company that runs different versions of SQL Server (7.0, 2000, 2005) on many different boxes. The databases I will be managing are in the 10-30TB ranges. Mostly the databases are for OLAP access by the company’s customers. I will need to bring myself up to speed on everything because there is no DBA at the company to transfer information.

  Can anyone provide any advise on how I should approach this task of learning my position and/or useful links to resources? Thank you in advance!

  ~Sean
