I attended the monthly Houston SQL Server User Group meeting during my lunch hour today and it had a good turnout (about 25 people).  Especially good since it was the first day meeting.

Nancy Hidy Wilson gave a great high-level presentation on the Post Install Configurations for SQL 2005.  Some of the topics covered are listed below.

• Configuration Manager
• Reporting Services Manager
• Error and Usage Reporting
• Best Practices Analyzer
• Surface Area Configuration

Once the slides are posted on the group website, I will make a link to them here.
