The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Putting MSSQL 2000 into single user mode for master db restore

Asked by garychu in MS SQL Server

Tags: , , , ,

MSSQL 2000 Std SP3 is installed in a box running Win 2003 Server SP1.
I have been trying to set it up as a standby server.

I tried to test restore an application database.
First by;
net stop mssqlserver
Followed by;
sqlservr -m
to it into single user mode.

With the following results;
2007-03-21 18:18:01.45 server    Copyright (C) 1988-2002 Microsoft Corporation.
2007-03-21 18:18:01.45 server    All rights reserved.

2007-03-21 18:18:04.48 spid3     Recovery complete.
2007-03-21 18:18:04.48 spid3     SQL global counter collection task is created.

The process seems incomplete at this point. And MSSQL does not appear to have entered into single user mode because on attempting a restore of the master db in sql analyser, a message returns that single user mode is required. Similar outcome when restore is attempted from Enterprise Manager.

Any assistance would be gratefully received. ThanksStart Free Trial
