Hi Harner,

Thank you for posting in SBS newsgroup.

I am sorry for the delayed response due to weekend. Please understand that
the newsgroups are staffed weekdays by Microsoft Support professionals to
answer your systems and applications questions. Your understanding is
greatly appreciated!

From the description, I understand the issue to be: you can not detach the
Monitoring instance database and receive the error. If I have misunderstood
your concerns, please do not hesitate to let me know.

You may need to first restart the service MSSQL$SBSMONITORING from
services.msc.

It may be that there is a connection made to the database due to the fact
that someone had opened say the Usage report page or something. Pausing an
instance of SQL Server just prevents new users from logging in; users who
are connected to the server are not disconnected and they can finish tasks.

When you are detaching a database, you need to make sure that all users -
including you - are out of the database. Instead of restarting the service,
you can also run the following command in the OSQL prompt to disconnect the
existing connections:

ALTER DATABASE <databasename> SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE

Hope this helps.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or if you need
further assistance.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

| I am trying to move all datafiles off of the OS partition. I am following
the
| instructions given in "Moving Data Folders for Windows Small Business
Server
| 2003". In the "Move the Monitoring Database" section it tells you to:
|
| Verify that the Monitoring Instand of MSDE 2000 is running;
| Connect to the Monitoring instance of MSDE 2000 and detach the database.
|
| This is where I get stuck. I am able to complete the first task, and yes,
| the monitoring service is started. When I attempt to detach the database,
| (Osql -E -S SERVER\SBSMonitoring -Q "sp_detach_db 'SBSMonitoring'") I get
an
| error message stating "Cannot detach the database 'SBSMonitoring"
because it
| is currently in use."
|
| Any suggestions?
|
