Hi Pinal,

I found this book to be very helpful. The chapter dedicated to understanding and configuring System Center 2007 Operations Manager assisted us as we were implementing OpsMGR 2007 at our organization to proactively monitor our SQL Server infrastructure.

Thanks and keep up the great site

I’m sorry to disagree, but I bought a copy of this book and I think it’s total garbage. It is full of misinformation. For example, check out the section on clustered vs. nonclustered indexes, where the authors claim that a nonclustered index is sorted based on the order of the clustered index. Clearly, this book was not properly tech reviewed and should not be trusted.

Great review Pinal. I was very impressed with this book. Hands down, this is the greatest SQL Server book I have come across in a long time. Our organization leveraged the High Availability chapters to configure a multiple instance SQL Server 2005 failover cluster with Windows Server 2003. In addition, we also loved the chapter on PKI encryption and how to configure SCOM 2007 to proactively monitor the SQL Server infrastructure.

Excellent Book! I especially liked the coverage of security and roles, and the examples provided were very good. The administration of 2005 was covered better that some other books.
