Hi,

I'm working with one SQL Server 2005 and need to move the master files to another location. Can you help me on this issue?

I know that for master I can't use the "alter database master modify file....) like for user database.

Thanks,


Ser

beware- you need to keep master and mssqlsystemresource data files in same folder for sql server 2005 to run properly, this requirement has changed in sql 2008 where mssqlsystemresouce datafiles are placed in binn folder.
