• Architecture how to install several programs in farm

  I am beginning in a project which is a total disaster. The company has done a lot of things that I don't like so much, but I am an analyst-programmer, so I have not voice for changing anything. One issue is that all the modules of the different programs are in all the machines of the farm (>100 servers). So the load is balanced between all of them. I think that this works but isn't a good policy: 1) Perhaps if a program fails It c ...Show All

  What is the best way to clear Single User mode from SQL Server 2000 I have tried going to all tasks and selecting detach and clear Connections using this database.
