Our regular SQL Server 2008 has stopped working because "database 'model' is marked RESTORING and is in a state that does not allow recovery". I've tried several things that did not work and over at Technet, I was encouraged to reinstall. But before I do that I need to move my database to another server.
I've recovered one application. Now I need to recover Dynamics.
First order of business is to recover the SQL logins as outlined in the Howto at support.microsoft.com/.../878449. However since the server won't start I don't have access and I cannot run the supplied script.
I thought I would rename the files, attach them to a new server and run the script there. But, it looks like even the new server continues to see those files as database "master". So I did not go through with the attach.
Is there another way I can attach the old master db to a new server under another name?
Or is there a way on Dynamics to recreate the SQL logins?
Hoping there's an answer!
Thanks in advance.
