Hi Alps,
I got the following error when trying to run the sqlcmd command.

Msg 3703, Level 16, State 2, Server SHAREPOINTSVR1\MICROSOFT##SSEE, Line 1
Cannot detach the database ‘WSS_Content’ because it is currently in use.
Msg 1801, Level 16, State 3, Server SHAREPOINTSVR1\MICROSOFT##SSEE, Line 1
Database ‘WSS_Content’ already exists.

Pls advice.

Many thanks! The trick for me was to remove the ‘pause’ between restarting the database and the re-attachment script to avoid the database being locked if it took too long in between.

Guys, I am going to re run this script and may make changes to the post. Keep an eye out.

When I run the script the SQLCMD window opens but then disappears.

Hi Alpesh,

I have setup the script and everything as you said. However when I run the script it says the database is in use and cannot continue. How do I ensure that it available to be detached?

Thanks

I have two servers. Server A is currently running SharePoint v3 and SSEE on Win2k3 Std. Server B is currently running Windows Server 2000 Advanced Server. Server A is quickly running out of storage space and Server B has a few hundred Gigs of free space, hence the reason I would like to know if I could move just the database files from Server A to Server B and not incur any data loss. Is this possible if I were to map a drive letter on Server A to the directory on server B in which I move the database files? Thanks.
