Implementing NLB (Network Load Balancing) in VMware

Link to PDF HERE Network Load Balancing is a feature of recent Microsoft server operating systems, including Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008. This clustering technology enables you to improve the scalability and availability of Internet server programs, such as Web servers, proxy servers, DNS servers, FTP servers, virtual private network servers, streaming media servers, and terminal services servers.

How to fix orphaned SQL Server users

Summary When you restore a Microsoft SQL Server database on a different machine, you cannot access the database until you fix the permissions. Detail The problem is that the user in the database is an "orphan". This means that there is no login id or password associated with the user. This is true even if there is a login id that matches the user, since there is a GUID (called a SID in Microsoft-speak) that has to match as well.

All of these instructions should be done as a database admin, with the restored database selected. First, make sure that this is the problem.
