plz help me out...I want to rebuild server

  • Hi Seniors...,

    My issues were like one of our staging server gone and luckily I have all the backups of sys dbs and user dbs.

    My manager asked me to rebuild on another server.

    Please tell me the process to rebuild the server as it was working earlier and we have so many of SSIS packages and replication settings and maintenance plans were there.

    Thanks in advance

  • this will be a lot easier if you can name the server the same as the original, especially as you have replication.

    build server with same name

    install SQL exactly the same as on original server (same directory locations, patch level)

    restore master database and msdb, model as well if you have made amendments to that

    restore user databases

    that should retrieve your set up exactly as was.

    depending on state of replication at time of loss of server, you may need to reinitialise replication.

    the local accounts that SQL creates on install I think will be orphaned, if so drop and recreate them by scripting out.
