MS SQL Server : Move TempDB to another location

First use the following codes to check the name of the files.
 
USE TempDB
GO
EXEC sp_helpfile
GO

By default, the names of the files are : tempdev and templog.

Then, you could run the following codes to move .mdf and .ldf files.

USE master
GO
ALTER DATABASE TempDB MODIFY FILE
(NAME = tempdev, FILENAME = 'd:tempdb_data.mdf')
GO
ALTER DATABASE TempDB MODIFY FILE
(NAME = templog, FILENAME = 'e:tempdb_log.ldf')
GO

Grant EXECUTE permission to all stored procedures

SELECT 'GRANT EXECUTE ON OBJECT::[' + ROUTINE_NAME + '] TO ' + @TO + ';'
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES


Where @TO is the database role or user

Remove Hypothetical Indexes Generated by SQL DTA

Here is the sql statement to generate the scripts to drop hypothetical indexes that were generated by SQL Database Engine Tunning Advisor (DTA).


SELECT 'DROP INDEX [' + s.[name] + '] ON [' + object_name(s.[object_id]) +'] '
FROM sys.stats AS s
INNER JOIN sys.indexes AS i
    ON s.name=i.name
WHERE i.is_hypothetical=1 and s.[name] LIKE '_dta_ind%'


SELECT 'DROP STATISTICS  [' + object_name(s.[object_id]) + '].[' + s.[name] + '] '
FROM sys.stats AS s
WHERE s.name like '_dta_stat%'

IIS 6.0 : Web Farm Share Resources via UNC share

1) Create a User Account (eg. "WebFarmUser") in UNC Share server and IIS Servers

2) Share the folder and set the permission (R and W) to the "WebFarmUser" account.

3) Assign "WebFarmUser" user account as the account running the App Pool in IIS Server.

4) Assign the web application to the App Pool

5) Create a virtual directory to the UNC shared folder.

6) if you still get the access denied issue, explicitly set the "Connect AS" of the virtual directory to use "WebFarmUser" account.


7)

• ASP.NET 2.0 is configured to run with a user account.
• The SerializeAs attribute of the Profile property in ASP.NET 2.0 is set to Xml

In this scenario, ASP.NET 2.0 may not save the user profile, and you may receive an error message that is similar to the following:

[InvalidOperationException: Unable to generate a temporary class (result=1).
error CS2001: Source file 'D:\WINDOWS\TEMP\d0lurtzx.0.cs' could not be found
error CS2008: No inputs specified

To resolve this issue, grant the user account the List Folder Contents and Read permissions on the %windir%\Temp folder.

IIS 6.0 Compression

1) Backup the metabase. This is done by right-clicking on the server in the IIS snap-in and selecting All Tasks -> Backup/Restore Configuration.

2) Create Compression Folder (optional)

The first thing I do is create a folder on the D drive where the static file compression will be cached. You can call it anything you want or leave the default of “%windir%\IIS Temporary Compressed Files” if that works for you. The IUSR_{machinename} will need write permission to the folder. If you use custom anonymous users, make sure to assign the proper user. IIS will still work even if the permissions are wrong but the compression won't work properly. Once running, it's worth double checking Event Viewer to see if any errors are occurring that keep IIS Compression from working.

3) Enable Compression in IIS

- From the IIS snap-in, right-click on the Web Sites node and click on Properties
- Select the Service tab - Enable Compress application files
- Enable Compress static files
- Change Temporary Directory to the folder that you created above, or leave it at it's default
- Set the max size of the temp folder to something that the hard drive can handle. i.e. 1000.
- Save and close the Web Site Properties dialog

Note: The temporary compress directory is only used for static pages. Dynamic pages aren't saved to disk and are recreated every time so there is some CPU overhead used on every page request for dynamic content.

4) Metabase changes

To enable metabase edit-while-running using IIS Manager

1. In IIS Manager, right-click the local computer, and then click Properties.
2. Select the Enable Direct Metabase Edit check box.
   

- Open the metabase located at C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\metabase.xml in Notepad
- Search for deflate and one for gzip. Basically they are two means of compression that IIS supports.
- First thing to do is add aspx, asmx, php and any other extension that you need to the list extensions in HcScriptFileExtensions.

HcDynamicCompressionLevel has a default value of 0. Basically this means at if you did everything else right, the compression for dynamic contact is at the lowest level. The valid range for this is from 0 to 10.

The compression level -vs- CPU usage which showed that the CPU needed for levels 0 - 9 is fairly low but for level 10 it hits the roof. Yet the compression for level 9 is nearly as good as level 10.

5) Restart IIS

Precompile an ASP.NET Web site in place

To precompile an ASP.NET Web site in place

1. Open a command window and navigate to the folder containing the .NET Framework.

   The .NET Framework is installed in the following location.

   other

   Copy

   %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\version
   

2. Run the aspnet_compiler command by typing the following at a command prompt.

   other

   Copy

   aspnet_compiler -v /virtualPath
   

   The virtualPath parameter indicates the Internet Information Services (IIS) virtual path of your Web site.

   If your Web site is not an IIS application, and therefore has no entry in the IIS metabase, type the following command at a command prompt.

   other

   Copy

   aspnet_compiler -p physicalOrRelativePath -v /
   

   In this case, the physicalOrRelativePath parameter refers to the fully qualified directory path in which the Web site files are located, or a path relative to the current directory. The period (.) operator is allowed in the physicalOrRelativePath parameter. The -v switch specifies a root that the compiler will use to resolve application-root references (for example, with the tilde (~) operator). When you specify the value / for the -v switch, the compiler will resolve the paths by using the physical path as the root.

Setting Default parameter when opening PDF

For example, a scale value of 100 indicates a zoom value of 100%. e.g. zoom=100
