We got an out of space alert when the first temp file filled. Autogrow was off. Turn it on to avoid this? The process did not appear to die, as there were 3 other files to consume. Are we correct to think if there are multifple files SQL Server will move to the next one if the first one fills?

thanks Boris. i have not downloaded the new MP because i really don’t want to load sql-dmo to my sql2008 boxes in order for it to work. i was thinking about my own db monitor as well, but for now we can live with this little annoyance. still, i have to wonder if anyone on the OpsMgr team discusses their ideas with DBA’s inside of microsoft. surely someone like Paul Randal could offer some insight as to what might be a good idea for a production DBA to want/need/use.

The new SQL MP build has a fix for it where it does not exclude the system dbs. I also wrote a Database Monitor that ignores autogrow, and was going to blog about that, but never seem to have time 🙁
