Moving SQL model and msdb Databases in MS SQL 2005
October 17, 2008 by John Tran · 6 Comments
- Launch SQL Server Configuration Manager
- Click on SQL Server 2005 Services and in the right panel right click on SQL Server (instance_name) and click on Properties
- On the Advanced tab, in the Startup Parameters box, type the parameters separated by semicolons (;).
- Current Startup Parameters: -dD:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\DATA\master.mdf;-eD:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\LOG\ERRORLOG;-lD:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\DATA\mastlog.ldf
- Add -m, -c and T3608 to the Startup Parameters.
- New Startup Parameters: -T3608;-m;-c;-dD:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\DATA\master.mdf;-eD:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\LOG\ERRORLOG;-lD:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\DATA\mastlog.ldf
- Stop and start SQL Server
- Detach the model database by using the following commands:
use master
go
sp_detach_db ‘model’
go
- Move the model database from its current location to your desired location. Make sure that you have the correct permissions in the new directory.
- Reattach the model database by using the following commands:
use master
go
sp_attach_db ‘model’,'E:\Sqldata\model.mdf’,'E:\Sqldata\modellog.ldf’
go
- Make sure you remove -m -c -T3608 from the Startup Parameters
- Do the same with the msdb database.
NOTE: If you get the following message when starting a New Query DB is in single-user mode and there’s already someone connected to the DB. Then make sure that you have disconnected from the object explorer before clicking on New Query. So when you first launch SQL Server Management Studio, click cancel when it asks you to Connect to Server. Then click on New Query, this will ensure that you have not logged on twice in single user mode.
The other error message is “Cannot detach an opened database when the server is in minimally configured mode” when trying to sp_detach_db ‘model’. Best solution is to launch SQL Server Configuration Manager. Click on SQL Server 2005 Services. On the right pane, stop every service except the SQL Server (instance_name). Also disable the network adapter if you still are getting the error message after stopping all services.
This did not work. Received a transport error message when attempting to re-attach the model database.
This message is for those of you who are experience the same thing.
I have the same problem on SQL 2005 and SQL 2008. Different boxes, same network.
Hi Paul,
Have a look at the following link and see if you’re able to fix the issue your having.

Do these instructions also apply to SQL Server 2008? I’ve tried using them but have been coming across some strange errors so suspect there are some other things I’m missing…
I tried this methid but it says, Loging failure, server is in single user mode. Only one administrator can connect at this time.
Any idea?
Thanks,
Asif
