  • RE: database 'master' is not valid 9003 error Help!!!

    Do you have a backup of master?

    How did you rebuild the master database and how did you verify that it really did get rebuilt?

  • RE: Unable to Shrink Log file

    Excellent. I suspect, in this case, the immense amount of log entries that SQL had to 'unmark for replication' was the reason that the simple create-drop failed.

    Before you run all that, can you run this in the DB in question.
