Check which ports are open to the outside world. Helps make sure that your firewall rules are working as intended.
One of a set of tools we are providing to everyone as a way of saying thank you for being a part of the community.
you can switch from full to simple according to your backup stratigies you will use, in simple backup you can restore only the database from last full backup , but if you make it full recovery you can backup the database and the log then you have the option to restore to specific point of time from your log files.
from my side , i like full recovery to be configured for database.
Note: SMS2003/SCCM2007 defualt installtion use SIMPLE Database Recovery Model
after you backup the log file , you can shrink the Database log file , also you can configure the autogrouth.
I hope you find my reply answers all your questions!
Good Luck
