SQL Server 2005 Training

I am just about completed a 6 days of SQL Server 2005 training for PCS Nitrogen. What was particularly interesting for me was the fact that they wanted to focus on the Administration of SQL Server rather than on Development with SQL Server.

I find that interesting because I have always given more attention to development rather than administration. Frankly, backing up databases does not light a fire under me. But the range of automation possibilities proves rather exciting as a developer since I can envision how the entire range of administration tasks can be automated with some simple programming.
