Policy-Based Management in a Nutshell

Presenter: Jorge Segarra

Session Details:

Does your organization have data policies that can't be (or aren't being) enforced consistently? Well, guess what? You can do all that and more with Policy-Based Management, a powerful and easy-to-configure feature added in SQL Server 2008. With a few simple clicks, you can check a setting on every server or database in your enterprise. Set up a policy that automatically enforces object-naming conventions. Create a policy to ensure your databases have been backed up within a specified period of time. Learn how to set these up in your own shops, how to set up an elegant (and free) reporting solution, and much more!
