SQL Server 2008 Policy-Based Management

    Actually to add to your excitement, that line is a little misleading.

    Yes, that's what I meant when I said MS must have forgotten to change BOL.

    A very useful question. I've learned something new. Policy-based management begins to look more useful.

    But I guess MS must have changed their mind at some point but forgot to change BOL. The very first sentence in the Administering Servers by Using Policy-Based Management section (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb510667.aspx) is

    Policy-Based Management is a system for managing one or more instances of SQL Server 2008.

    - and that was last updated as recently as November 2009.

    Great question, I am glad it came up. I just taught an upgrade class from 2005 to 2008 and BOL had also led me to believe that PBM was for 2008 only. I should have looked a little deeper I guess 😀

    At least I have another selling point for my customers who are considering upgrading!

    Keep 'em coming!

  • Thanks and I've written another article about evaluating policies on mutliple instances (SQL 2008 , 2005 and 2000), that will be published end of this month, I hope that will be more fun... 🙂

  • Tough question for one measly little point.

  • Hope this would be useful for all...
