Re: Checksum problem on system database



Hey Andrea,

thx for the re. I was already afraid I would have to reinstall. It's the
instance from sharepoint. We do maintenance at a lot of customers and
some have full SQL versions so perhaps I could use the rebuildm tool
there. But reinstalling sharepoint and replacing the database STS and
STS_Config might be faster as I think those are the only ones that matter.

Anyways thanks again :)

Hey there,

we're having an issue with the SQL (MSDE) database that sharepoint
uses. The service starts and immediately stops. In the logs (in
dutch) there's an error: "Het checksumbestand van de systeemdatabase
heeft een ongeldige ondertekening." freely translated it says "The
checksumfile from the system database has a invalid signature".

Anyone know how to solve this or where start searching? Does SQL have
something like eseutil I might try to repair the database?

if you have a valid master database backup, you can restore it as indicated
in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Aa173557(SQL.80).aspx and
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Aa176749(SQL.80).aspx ... if you
don't, you are in trouble, as MSDE does not provide the Rebuild utility
(rebuildm.exe) and the scripts to re-generate it.. if this is the case, you
have to uninstall and reinstall the MSDE instance.. you can or course keep
your user's databases files an re-attach them once re-installed..
