Trying desperately to rebuild our master database

  • Hello,

    I am trying desperately to rebuild our master database, I have restarted the service in single user mode. I have navigated to the directory where the setup.exe is and tryed both of these commands:

    start /wait setup.exe /qn INSTANCENAME="MSSQLSERVER" REINSTA

    LL=SQL_Engine REBUILDDATABASE=1 SAPWD="newpassword"

    start /wait setup.exe /qn INSTANCENAME="MSSQLSERVER" REINSTA

    LL=SQL_Engine REBUILDDATABASE=1 SAPWD="newpassword" REINSTALLMODE=vomus

    The command prompt just processes for a while and then returns to the command prompt. Help!

  • Give full path for setup.exe e.g. c:\sql\setup.exe or D:\Servers\Setup.exe

  • Have given it the full path

    start /wait E:\disc1\setup.exe /qn INSTANCENAME="MSSQLSERVER" REINSTA

    LL=SQL_Engine REBUILDDATABASE=1 SAPWD="newpassword"

    but I still get the same result.

  • humm... can you check the database if it's rebuilded; as /qn suppress all error messages and setup dilogbox.

    Check the logfile too.

    Also if possible (NOT PRODUCTION) try changing collation setting with this command and see if changes happen:

    start /wait \setup.exe /qn INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER REINSTALL=SQL_Engine REBUILDDATABASE=1 SAPWD= SQLCOLLATION=
