Read the sections about server configuration for the intended server use. Always make sure that your database server is installed, set up properly, and running.
Hard drives and data files
Contact the database administrator to determine the following settings.
Check that there is enough free hard drive space for Production data.
Decide which hard drive volume and folder should be used for Production data.

These values are not set at this stage.

The SQL Server transaction log file grows when delete maintenance is running. This log file is truncated when the database is backed up. The DBA needs to have a strategy for keeping a reasonable log file size.
