Now Easily Overcome Master Database – Error 3417 of SQL Server


SQL Server is a relational database management system (RDBMS) by Microsoft that is designed for the enterprise environment. It has got two primary query languages, T-SQL and ANSISQL. It provides you the flexibility to access your database from anywhere, be it from a data center, desktop, or from a mobile device. It also provides the combined services to query, search, synchronize, report, and analyze the database records. However, at times it may happen that the SQL Server is unable to run. It may be possible that the master database has gone corrupt. This can be possible because of various reasons such as virus infections, human errors, power outages, abrupt system shutdown while SQL Server was open. In such cases, you should replace the corrupted database with its updated backup. However, if the backup is not updated then you should use MS SQL recovery software to recover SQL database.

While working with SQL, you might encounter access denied error in the event viewer log. It happens because the SQL Express tries to open the Master database from C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\DATA\master.mdf. However, the SQL Server does not have the permission to run this. You need to try following the below mentioned steps to resolve this issue.
