Rebuilding Master database

  • SQL Gurus,

    I am trying to rebuild the master database after the HD partition holding the db files crashed. I ran the following from the command prompt :

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Release>setup/ACTION=REBUILDDATABASE/QUITE/INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER/SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS=domain\myaccount/SAPWD=sapwd/SQLCOLLATION=SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS

    but when I run it it give me an error saying the The specified value for WORKLOW is wrong.

    Can somebody please help me ? Did I select the incorrect syntax?

    Thank you in advance for your help

  • You misspelled QUIET you have QUITE. Try this

    setup /ACTION=REBUILDDATABASE /QUIET /INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS=domain\myaccount /SAPWD=sapwd /SQLCOLLATION=SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS

    Also, unless you are in MIXED MODE AUTHENTICATION you do not need to supply the sapwd.

  • thx guys . Yes I made a typeo when issuing the command QUIET and also i did not leave the space between the strings

    instead of typing setup /ACTION=REBUILDDATABASE /QUIET

    I typed in setup/ACTION=REBUILDDATABASE/QUITE.....

    After making the changes it is working fine now.
