In this article we are going to configure alerts for policy management. Alerts are triggered when a violation takes place in a particular policy that uses any of the three automated evaluation mode. Each of these evaluation mode will return an error number starting with 340*. You can use these alerts to notify either policy administrator or the database administrator who needs to make sure these values are under company standards. Upon receiving these alerts they can work with the user who has violated the policies or company standards. Error number for each of these evaluation mode is given in the below table.

In my previous article on policy based management Ive gone through what is policy based management and how it helps administration. Lets discuss about how to work with policy based management i.e. how to create a policy and implement it. To work with a policy we need to first create a condition and we need to use this condition in our policy. Lets discuss each of the title mentioned below

Introduction:

Policy based management is one of the new feature added from SQL Server 2008. With the help of this feature you can evaluate an instance or database or objects to bound with in certain conditions policies. If any of the objects or instances failed to bound with in the policy then it can either notified or you can directly change the values to bound within policy with the help of policy management there by making the administration simpler. So by using this feature you dont need to outline all these conditions and no need to have an auditing on the same.

This article discusses the new feature named Policy Based Management in SQL Server 2008. Policy Based Management is an extensive management configuration that can be used to manage servers, databases and objects. Policy Based framework provides a way to define policies that apply to servers, databases and objects. With Policy based Management framework, you can enforce consistent policies across all servers.
