How a Bacon Explosion is Made

Openness

Ive been encouraged to blog openly about the Volunteer work that I do for PASS and the processes we use to get the work done.  This blog is the first in what I hope to be a long series that will outline the different things that have to be done to bring a >somewhat< seemless experience to the SQL community

Pass Processes --what you (dont) want to know 

The final PASS Summit session evaluation results have finally been emailed out to the speakers.  This brings an interesting month and a half of PASS to a close for me.  Back on the 24th of november I asked for some help to get the Session evaluations together and generate some results.  As it turns out I had a huge outpouring of support from everyone wanting to help (Thanks again) In the end though, I wound up working with 2 volunteers: Tim Mitchell and Christina Leo, as well as Elena Sebastiano from PASS HQ to make this work...

    • Whose got my DAC?:
      • Allen Kinsel: They might not be too happy about that but, hopefully you know who they are and can contact them before killing their session, if you cant get a response and its an sleeping connection, then out comes the KILL command!
      • Jack Corbett: Wonder what the person on the other end would think if you killed their connection.
    • PASS TPS #1:
      • AjarnMark: Allen, keep up the writing! This type of transparency into the process and efforts that it takes to put together such a phenomenal event as the Summit is great!
      • Andy Warren: Allen, I hope you'll write a LOT about the efforts of the program committee. There's a lot of good/hard work that gets done there and I think we need to share that. And when things go wrong - like the sessions counts - that's ok too, good to let everyone know that we know something...
    • SQL Active Directory User ID SID Mismapings:

From sqlps: PS SQLSERVER:\SQL\Z002\SQL2K8> invoke-sqlcmd -Query "select name, sid from sys.server_principals where type IN ('U','G')" | foreach {add-member -in $_ -membertype noteproperty SSDL (new-object security.principal.securityidentifier($_.SID,0)).ToString() -passthru} | where {$_.SSDL -eq 'S-X-X-X-X'}
    • Using Aliases with SQL Server:
      • Ken: I'm currently in a migration that will be making use of dns aliases, and have done some testing of moving from a default instance to named instances. You actually can use this still for moving applications from one named instance to another, you have to configure your named instances to listen on the default...
