Therefore, when you first implement a new server and/or add new databases you should monitor the autogrowth events on tempdb. By monitoring the autogrowth events you can easily determine if you have sized tempdb appropriately.

I have a dts package that needs to run once the input file has been updated. The update time fluctuates. Is there a way to have the DTS fail until the file has been updated? Possible after the Date Modified field has been updated? Or possible contents of the file not updated?
