David Fowler tells a story of woe, one which is totally not his fault:
To do this, a trigger was created which would send all the details via a Service Broker message to another SQL Server, this SQL Server was used to hold details of the AD accounts and from there, changes were automatically propagated out to AD.
This was working well until one day when it was realised that any changes to account permissions in AD weren’t reflected in the personnel database. To solve this, another trigger was created to send a Service Broker message back to the personnel database with details of the change.
This was where I came in, it was noticed that the system had started to run slower and slower, not only that but permissions seemed to be constantly changing for no obvious reason. Were the machines finally waking up and taking over?
There’s a reasonable explanation here, for some definition of reasonable.
