Problem trying to restore master database

  •  

    I am in the middle of rolling back sp4 on one of our test sql servers.

     

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled SQL and now need to restore the master db from a couple of days ago.

     

    I am getting the following error and believe I know what the problem may be:

     

    Login failed for user 'sa'. Reason: Server is in single user mode. Only one administrator can connect at this time.

     

    I have started sql server in single user mode via a dos prompt and one of the other guys is trying to do the restore.  I believe the error is due to 2 different logins attempting to use the master db at the same time.

     

    Myself: starting sql in single user mode

    Backup User: trying to do the restore.

     

    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    PS I have also posted this question on the Backup forum.
