SharePoint File Service and Operation

Move users, roles, resources, user tasks, Mappings (etc) to a seperate Database, other than %SYS, so these items can be mirrored

Settings should be a part of Mirroring

Noticed that if some of the settings at the %SYS level are updated on the Primary instance of the mirror they are not being copied down to the rest of the Mirror members. If you do not notice this, then settings could get out of sync between the m...
