| When I attempt to put a user database in Read_Only when it is in use, the process hangs waiting for the database to be freed up. I would seem consistent that it would do the same thing for Master if that option were valid.

| I tried starting a 2000 SP3 Standard Edition with single user mode with no luck. DAC didn't come along until SQL 2005 so that wouldn't work. Is there anyway to actually make this available!?!

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa933268(SQL.80).aspx BOL states: When true, users can only read data in the database. Users cannot modify the data or database objects, however, the database itself can be deleted using the DROP DATABASE statement. The database cannot be in use when a new value for the read only option is specified. The master database is the exception, and only the system administrator can use master while the read only option is being set.
This indicated to me that the master database has the option available... - o well..

We all read that in bol, but noone's been able to set to read_only (even using sa).
That's why the correct answer's been updated in this one!
