Moving FDLAUNCHERLOG in SQL Server
EDIT: I had two scenarios like this. The one written about here worked. The other one failed. The actual solution came from sql-ution.com. The solution is to fix the registry with the new value. And just in case his website comes offline before mine does, I'll post the code: Since I'm nostalgic for my wasted… Read More »
Script Storage
Update here: Script Storage Update Throughout my career, my scripts have been a vital piece of my work. Where I store them has changed over the years.
