rebuilding master db vs reinstall instance

  • What is the advantage of rebuilding the master database vs reinstalling the instance if you cannot access the instance.

  • I think reinstalling the instance will create new MSDB database. So old SQL Server Agent jobs, alerts, SSIS packages, etc. will not be available.

  • thats doesn't sound like much considering I assume you can restore both databases to get all your data back.

  • My choice is to go for rebuildmaster and restore the recent backup... This saves time and lot of other issues!
