Session Details - This Build Rocks!

We look at how FineBuild helps provide a best practice 'Gold Build' of SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2008. Items such as Service Packs, Cumulative Updates, optional components, third-party tools and user customisation are swallowed whole in an automated build process designed to give consistent results. Experienced DBAs will like the sophistication included in FineBuild. New staff will like the security and best practice achieved without weeks of study. Professionals installing SQL Server at home will like this can now be done while watching The Simpsons.
