		<title>Changing SQL Server data file locations in clustered instance using service SIDs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I added a second LUN to a clustered instance of SQL Server to isolate the logs files (and another for the TempDB) and I mounted them to an empty NTFS folder as I've done before, but when I started SQL Server, I recieved the following error: The error means that SQL Server doesn't have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dealing with an exception: &#8220;An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was attempting to bind a remoting listening to a particular port and kept receiving an exception when attempting to bind on the production Windows 2008 R2 server itself - it always worked fine on both my development box and our test server.

		<title>Clustering walkthrough for SQL Server 2008 on Windows 2008</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently stumbled across a great walk-through for clustering SQL Server on newer versions of Windows. It's really thorough - everything from setting up iSCSI (in this case, to simulate a shared disk when it's physically attached to one node - not ideal, but lets you test the walk-through), adding the required server roles, preparing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Slow SQL Server queries over a linked server from Windows Server 2008</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We recently ran into an issue where linked server queries where sometimes taking significantly longer than they should have - queries that executed in under a second on the source server took two minutes when executed from a remote SQL Server over a linked server connection. We assumed it was something to do with our [...]]]></description>

There's a command line you can use to tell which is which: In IIS 6 (Windows XP/2003), type: It is located in C:\Windows\System32 which is almost always part of the PATH variable so you can [...]]]></description>

		<title>Roll your own lightweight SQL Server source control</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I've wanted to implement some kind of source control on my SQL Servers before, but the only product available at the moment is Red-Gate's SQL Source Control, and I didn't need all the functionality it offered (or want to pay for it). Also, it relies on developers checking-in their changes, and that's prone to forgetfulness [...]]]></description>

		<title>Generate an x509 certificate with an SHA256 signature hash</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When authenticating with a vendor using a custom webservice, the vendor requested that we use an x509 certificate with a 2048 byte key and an SHA256 hash (sometimes referred to as SHA2, though SHA2 actually refers to the group of hashes containing SHA256, 384, and 512). Since I'd used IIS to generate our certificate (IIS [...]]]></description>
