Master database corrpt

  • Hi,

    If the master database is corrupted, and i dont have any backups for the master, so how can i rebuild and online the server.

    thanks,

    🙂

  • Rebuild the master database. It's an option of the 2005 setup tool. You will lose all logins and server level permissions, you'll have to reattach all user databases, you'll lose all linked servers as well.

    I'm looking for an article on this. Will followup if I find one.

    Edit: why don't you have a backup of master?
