Hi there,
We want to rebuild the system databases on a SQL Server 2005 instance. After starting the service in single-user mode, we open a command window on C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap and then we try this command:
.\Setup /QUIET /ACTION=REBUILDDATABASE /INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS=***** /SAPWD=*****
After a couple of seconds, a window from MS SQL Server 2005 Setup pops up on the screen, it says:SQL Server Setup is scanning your computer's configuration. Then this window it's closed by itself and another window pops up. It's fromWindows Installer and it says:
Windows Installer v4.xxxxx
msiexec /option <required parameter> [optional parameter]
...more help... etc.
And that's it. The system databases are not rebuilt.
We can't figure out what's wrong. Please, any pointers or insight is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
-Ed
