If you have it set for FULL and aren't doing transaction log backups it will 
keep growing.

Since it's report server, you probably don't lose anything by having it set to 
SIMPLE.
If you change it to SIMPLE, you'll need to wait a few minutes for it to 
checkpoint and then you can shrink it.

Subject: [mssms] SQL database settings

Taking a look at my SQL setup for SCCM.  I notice that my ReportServer_log.LDF 
is 181GB in size.  This seems a bit extreme to me.  Looking at the ReportServer 
database properties, I see that the recovery model is FULL.  Is this standard, 
or can I change to Simple?  I know that if I change to Simple, that the .ldf 
file will shrink, but I don't want to put myself in a bad situation.

Thanks,

Joe Heaton
