Test environment:
Just we took backup of master database from PRODUCTION (Always On) server then restored on QA server.
All DB's showing Recovery Pending. Now i want to delete all databases on QA. But while deleting Db's getting below error:
“ The database is currently joined to an availability group. Before you can drop the database you need to remove it from availability group”.
Since QA DB is standalone server we can't configure Always On or DB mirroring.
What is the alternative method for dropping or deleting all these databases with out configuring high availability?
This is only for testing. Once cleanup done we will restore DB's from backup.
Please suggest me. Actually this is customer requirement. Without restoring master we can achieve but i want to know the how to resolve this kind of errors.
