Guys,

We have recently added a new SQL Server 2000 instance, which has identical database structure as a few other servers we had. We have transaction replication set up, and this server was added as a subscriber, getting all its data from the publisher. Now, while its data is identical to all the rest of the subscribers, it is not yet used by our clients (i.e. it is not yet considered a production server). As such, I wanted to take this opportunity to tune it as much as possible (since it is sort of in its downtime).

Could anyone advise what is best to be done at this point in time?

For example, should I rebuild the indexes or do anything else?


Thank you for any input!

Setup all the necessary jobs. See Tara's blog on this. It's on 2005 but most of them are also applicable for 2000
