SECURITY SOLUTIONS
--Take Control of Windows Object Ownership and Inheritance
by Jan De Clercq
The Windows discretionary access control (DAC) model and its "ownership
is power" concept can threaten security and compliance for organizations
that must ensure the continuous availability of company data. But in the
classic DAC model, there's no way to block users from deleting objects
they've created. Now a feature in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008
can help you regain control of ownership. It's a security principal
called Owner Rights (SID S-1-3-4)
(http://ct.email.windowsitpro.com/rd/cts?d=33-17058-803-202-62923-1809591-0-0-0-1-2-207. You can use this SID
and other methods, such as command-line tools, to control ownership and
better manage your Windows resources. Read the complete article here

Managing SQL Server Sprawl
Managing a few SQL Server databases is easy. But when a few instances
become many, and those grow at the rate of 40, 50, or 100 per year, IT
has a problem--one that cries out for effective consolidation. Sprawl
can result in inefficient use of hardware, software, and administrative
resources. Hardware and maintenance costs are magnified by such
inefficiency, and poor utilization rapidly increases energy consumption.
Server sprawl can also rob SQL Server users of resource availability and
business productivity.
