And it gets better!
In trying to fix the original balls up, instead of reversing the upgrade, I initiated a full rebuild so lost the Dev a weeks worth of data.

You're in good company.
was just testing some Sql scripts & removed my windows login from the server admins role group to test the error handling.
I thought I had the sa password. I don't. Don't have local admin rights to my machine either so can't reset sa password. I can either put in a request to security which will take days or to be re-install sql server.

Its gonna be a long week....Tags: None
