Changing the collation started the problem because the msdb you restored was created using the original collation.

As far as why you are still having problems I have no idea....

   DB_NAME() AS database_name,

   MP.name AS database_user,

   RP.name AS database_role,

   SP.name AS server_login,

   sys.database_principals RP JOIN

   sys.database_role_members...

You can check out http://www.jumpstarttv.com as there is a series of short vidoes on how to use Profiler. Just a disclaimer, I did the videos. They are based...

I don't know as far as the question you are asking. I will comment that you probably don't need to rebuild all the indexes every week. If you...
