SQL Server troubleshooting

I have been working in the IT industry as system / network manager for over 15 years and like most of my colleagues, I have a large collection of troubleshooting links and favorites. I decided to put them on a website for easy access, wherever I am.

The information on this site is about Microsoft's SQL Server 2005 and 2008. And since I am a general system manager and not an application developer, this site is focused on information to help you install, maintain and troubleshoot your SQL Server.
