Hi all,

All of a suddent yesterday morning one of my DEV SQL Boxes started reporting
MSDB as suspect. I tried to follow the instructions outlined in
http://winzenz.blogspot.com/2006/09/...databases.html to
restore MSDB, however when I try to start sql server using the trace flag I
get the following error:

Your SQL Server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with
(SQL Registry Version not Same as Server). Please uninstall then re-run
setup to correct this problem.

Any ideas?

TIA!

Hi

Do you get any information in the SQL Server log?

You should still be able to start up SQL Server with

start sqlservr.exe -c -T3608

The comments on the article you posted indicate that you may need to do more
than what was just in the article and force the creation of a new database,
this is also reflected in

http://groups.google.com/group/sql-s...ing-msdb?hl=en

Alternatively if you have a backup of MSDB it could be restored and
detatched on another server and then replace the existing files with it.

John

Thanks. That worked.
