Has anyone developed a good procedure for rebuilding a W2k SQL server, from bare metal? I have seen the instructions n thesql tdp manual, but am wondering if there might be other ways to do it. One idea I had was making a onetime flatfile backup of the master db on our sql servers that could be restored with the other data. I'm thinking that this should eliminate the need to install sql and the service packs and create a new master db and just begin the restore at that point.
Also, is there a difference in the restore procedures for sql server and sql enterprise?
