I was reviewing a sql 2008 serer and noticed it has a share called
"MSSQLSERVER" that maps to
\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\RsFx0103\<local machine>\MSSQLSERVER
It's described as being "SQL Server FILESTREAM share.... Caching disabled"and "Everyone" has read\write permissions to it.
1. Why is this share needed?
2. Everyone having read\write permissions seems like an open door for security headaches. Do you agree?
3. I don't think we are using the FILSTREAM feature and can "remove" it. Is that done by simply uninstalling that feature in Sql Server? (or does doing that lead to greater headaches?)
TIA,
