Worst Practices for Highly Available SQL Server Deployments

Come hear what NOT to do when trying to increase uptime for your SQL Server instances and databases.

This session flips a normal best practices session on its ear to show you the pain (and often, how to solve it) when things go wrong - sometimes because of bad decisions.
