Restore Master Database to Test Server

  •  Hi All:

    Please advise me about restore a master database from production to test server.

    The reason to do this because I need to test and evaluate some login in master database.

    I tried to restore master database to test server, but I got some errors regarding about user databases are not exists in test server. I don't want to restore user databases, I only need master database for evaluate user login.

    Again thanks for your advice.

  • You do not have to restore user databases.

  • OK this is what I did.

    1) Set database as single login mode

    2) Restore master database.

    3) Once the restore finished, the database service is not started.

    What did I do wrong? Do you have any procedures?

    Thanks for your help.

  • Hi, Just restart services from control panel/services

  • Thank you all.... I got it working now.

     

  • A note for the future:

     

    Whenever you restore the master database the SQL Server service stops itself automatically.
