The Enterprise Policy Management (EPM) Framework leverages and extends the new Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Policy-Based Management feature across an entire SQL Server enterprise, including down-level instances of SQL Server such as SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005. In addition, the EPM Framework can be used to:
- Automate the evaluation of policies against a defined set of SQL Server instances, including SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005.
- Centralize the policy evaluation history to a single source for enterprise policy reporting.
- Define best practices for implementing policy evaluation in extremely large enterprise environments.
This document provides best practice guidance on the use of the EPM Framework as a means of collecting and reporting on policy compliance across an entire SQL Server enterprise.
For more information, please refer to the Enterprise Policy Management Framework with SQL Server 2008 whitepaper.
