Oh, and can I get a favor? Can everyone to update their posts with the proper spelling of my name? Brandie.

Jeff, thank you for that information. I will research.

So we are using the Hallogren solution for index maintenace and yes, it involves reorgs. I removed reorgs from the servers I'm...

Following up on this... Will it hurt if I remove system object permissions from the public role?

Or, alternatively, is there a method to ensure that I only remove user objects...
