Rebuild master database problem

  • Trying to rebuild the master database using the following rountine: In Dos

    1)Navigate to

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Release"

    2. Next paste the following into the command prompt window and press “Enter”:

    Setup.Exe /Action=RebuildDatabase /InstanceName=MSSQLSERVER /SqlSysAdminAccounts=Wtrundel1

    The setup starts and goes through a few steps then it crashes and I get the following error message:

  • Hello Marvin,

    the setup crash could be a WMI corruption (see MSDN Forums here)

  • A bit late now, but I always recommend having a file copy of the master database, so that you hopefully never will have to rebuild it.

  • just out of interest why are you rebuilding, are you changing server collation?
