I should point something out that has caused me grief.

Doing a test run on my desktop worked like a charm, but when it came time to run it on our production box, I discovered that x64 machines (ha ha!) have TWO copies of CMD.exe - one that recognises the 'NET' command and one that doesn't.  As a result, the script half executed and gave me a major problem.

Eventually I got everything back up, but am now faced with:

1) I cannot "ALTER DATABASE mssqlsystemresource" because that database "does not exist"; and

2) my master and mssqlsystemresource files are in different directories (which should not be the case.)

So, at the moment everything "works", but I'm just dreading the issues further down the track.

I would like some advise on how to fix the above two problems, if anyone can help.

Thanks,

S.
