Hi pinal,
I have two sql 2005 databases in two locations , and i am running merge replication. I want to run some maintainence tasks to improve efficiency of both servers since they are accessed through a .net application. On what server should i run the maintainence tasks like index rebuilding and all? Publisher or subscriber. Please pardon me if you think this is a stupid question.

looking forward for your reply.

Hi ,

It would be great pleasure of mine to reply your query,
There are two exams;
1) Exam 70–536
2) Exam 70–528
And for these certifications nothing is mandatory, if you do will be an add on.

And for administration part I would prefer you to first go through with architecture and then move to administrator .The best way is to go through Microsoft books online will definitely inline your need , after then you can refer to more stuff.

For more information about certification follow the link.

Hello Pinal,

Happy to learn about your attendance for the architectural meeting of a big firm. I would appreciate if you can elaborate on the following topics:

2. Index Optimization
3. Maintenance Tasks
4. Replication
5. Architectural Designs

I’m having little knowledge on the above topis and others mentioned in your article but would like to absorb real life scenarios which you might have observed during your tour.

Looking forward.

Thanks and have a great day!!!
