How do you keep records of your SQL Server environments? Patching levels, security accounts, configuration options, maintenance jobs and the like are some of the pieces we have to keep organized. Are you using something besides Excel to keep up with this? Sure, we can use the Content Management Server (CMS) to query across several instances, but we still need to organize this information somewhere. Our guests for this episode, Sean and Jen McCown, discuss inventory challenges with us and why this information is important. We might also get into some new features of their software, Minion Enterprise. If you have a suggestion we didn’t discuss, please let us know!

If you’ve got the right scripts, what’s the difference between having 17,000 databases on one server or one database across 17,000 servers?
