I have been asked to analyze a DB which was under a different team. I have done the following,

1. Identified tables without PK, and clustered index
2. identified FK’s without index
3. orphan users and weak passwords
4. analyzed SPS for bad code

Is there anything else I can do? Are there any ready-made scripts which I can use.

How do you know there's weak password by checking db? Did you see any db maintenance job?

We have a proprietary reporting tool which identifies the weak passwords. I don’t know that sql for that…

The Microsoft Baseline Analyzer is a useful tool to analyse weak or null passwords
