The correct technical term for the tool is a LART. ;) Use of quicklime and halon are also mandatory.

You're better off not using the /3GB switch unless you know for certain that you need it. Generally only large databases really need it. Only having 1 GB of address space for the OS stuff can actually be detrimental to performance most of the time.

-1 for the rm -rf (which I hope was intended as a joke).

comment Is there a machine readable list/feed of Microsoft update files?
It actually occurs to me that one valid reason for wanting neither WU nor WSUS might be if you wanted to copy off the patches for an unconnected machine, but I guess the OP would have said that if so.

comment Windows Server Login Alert Tools
Only domain accounts if it's in a GPO. The LDAP:// stuff would also need to be changed to the correct namespace for local accounts, you wouldn't use ADSystemInfo, and your SMTP permissions would need to allow a local account to access it. Besides which, if someone has "abuse the server" local access, they can already bypass a local logon script anyway.

Problem is that very very little of the above is actually grounded in reality and is really really slipping into the "subjective and argumentative" zone.

+1, correct but it's SQL Server so Linux has nothing to do with it.

comment Switching Windows 2003 Active Directory servers
You actually should demote otherwise you'll still have an orphaned DC in your AD (single master vs multi master doesn't come into it). You can of course just power it down and use NTDSUTIL to remove the orphaned DC, but that should not be used unless you have no other option (e.g. catastrophic hardware failure and no backup, or some idiot just powers it down). Demote is the graceful way to go.
