~17 years in the "IT Business", ranging from networks and phones (need a NEAX 2000 admin?) through my most recent gig with SQL Server and VB.net (they took away my C#) and finally, recently, out of development and back where I belong into the server room. All is right with the world.

Hostname vs IP address to refer to servers in Windows domain environment Yeah, see @Chopper3's answer. Your problems are deeper than are going to be fixed here ... |

Hostname vs IP address to refer to servers in Windows domain environment Then how are you not using DNS? |

Hostname vs IP address to refer to servers in Windows domain environment I'm a little unclear, but it sounds like you're not using AD; is that correct? If that's the case, then that would be your recommended guideline: implement AD, correctly. |

Pervasive SQL Server configuration Definitely sounds like an I/O bottleneck. You're going to have to start profiling to nail it down, though. |

Tool(s) for labeling cables with unique ID numbers To clarify, are these purely cross-connect cables? If they go out onto the floor (or "go" anywhere), I'd think you'd want the ID related to something. |

Our security auditor is an idiot. How do I give him the information he wants? Sounds like you've done all the right things. To this, however: if they were doing this internally I think the only responsible thing to do would be to inform our customers... I'm not sure about the UK, but in the US, when a vendor knows there has been a breach, we are required to inform the customers. As I understand the UK laws are tighter than the US, this might be good insurance. |

File based storage Vs Database Storage The comments added to @Craig's answer really should be added to the question; they offer a much fuller explanation of what OP is trying to accomplish. I don't yet have the rep, or I'd move it up there myself... |

In SQL 2000 how do you determine what process slows down the server He said he has 2000. He wants to see performance ... Profiler was the best tool in 2000 to do that. Where did I mention Express, 2005 or 2008? |

Why both T568A and T568B standards? @jscott: I was just thinking this. I'm glad I refreshed before posting it... |

Securing file content in folders under Windows @djangofan: Well, for one thing, I think you're right in that it changed in Vista; as for the reference, good question, I'll look. In the meantime, take a look at the Advanced Security Settings -> Permission Entry dialog. The permission is listed as "Create Files/Write Data". In the basic permissions dialog it's simply "Modify". |

Is it legal to install WIndows 7 Professional (OEM) on VMWare? Ack. I just realized that @Kyle_Smith and I apparently wrote nearly the same thing at nearly the same time. |

Is it legal to install WIndows 7 Professional (OEM) on VMWare? The way I read it, OP is asking about installing three machines (possibly four; the question is kind of unclear) from one OEM-licensed copy of Win 7; I don't really see that addressed in the linked question. |
