I've tried to do some searching on this - but can't seem to get a definitive 
answer... (And as the joke goes, I'm not a DBA, but play one on TV)

I'm doing TFS consulting for the first time at a client without a dedicated DBA 
group - so I'm responsible to make sure all the appropriate "Management Plans" 
are in effect.  There's plenty of "Guidance" on the MSDN site for TFS regarding 
backups (if anyone from Microsoft is reading this - it doesn't mention the 
"Maintenance Clean-up Task" to delete old backups which might be a good idea to 
mention")...

In talking to my DBA resource at my firm - he usually will have maintenance 
tasks, generally weekly, to ensure statistics are up-to-date and rebuild the 
indexes.  I've noticed the TFS Install does add a SQLAgent job for 
TFSIntegration to Re-index the database, but don't see anything regarding 
statistics and for the other databases.

Is there a "definitive" answer on whether this (or any other DB "Maintenance" 
is needed/advised for TFS

Thanks
