Recovering the master database

1. Rebuild the master database.
Create the basic master database:
a. Shut down SQL Server if it is running.
b. Start the Rebuild Master utility SQL\bin\rebuildm.exe.
c. Select an appropriate character set and sort order to match the backed up
data. You can check this in the latest backup session report.
d. Rebuild the database.
For more information, see the SQL Server documentation.
2. Set user rights or reconfigure the integration.
Set user rights using SQL Server Enterprise Manager:
a. From the server desktop, click Start - Programs - Microsoft SQL Server
7/Microsoft SQL Server - Enterprise Manager.

Server to use trusted connections.
c. Go to Security - Logins and select appropriate user rights.
d. Return to the server, right-click its name, and select Register Server.
Enter the account you selected in Manage - Logins.
Perform any additional administration tasks required to run SQL Server.
Reconfigure the SQL Server integration as described in
specifications" on page 39.
3. Stop SQL Server services by going to Start - Programs - Microsoft SQL Server
7, starting SQL Service Manager and stopping the services.
