    1 server with 2000

    3 servers with 2000 & 2005

    2 with 2005 (public facing, soon to be 2008 R2)

    1 TFS server (which requires 2008) has 2008 R2

    Yes, it will (almost always) fix the example given for 'symmetric change' (I think...

  • RE: Detecting Changes to a Table

    If you understand what a checksum is then you know whether it is appropriate to use it. It is a type of hash, so sometimes it is appropriate and sometimes...

  • RE: 100% Microsoft?
