Moving msdb and model

  • In SQL2000, when moving model and msdb to different drives, is it necessary to start SQL in single user mode? Most articles i have read say to start SQL with the T3608 parameter, however others say to use -c -m -T3608. What is really necessary? Thanks in advance.

  • Yes it is necessary to use 3608 trace flag. This article[/url] in SSC has good information about moving system databases.

  • Thank you for your quick response. I understand that T3608 must be used, however my question is whether or not the -m parameter should be specified along with it?

  • SQL Server should be started in Single User mode. Hence the -m startup parameter should be used
