SQL Server in minimal configuration mode?

Answer Posted / ganeshsamurti

• Open "Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services"
• Mouse right click on specified SQL Server instance service
and select "Properties" menu to bring up following
configuration window:

• Specify start parameters as following:

-s{ Instance name } -m

If instance is default instance (no instance name) ,then
just enter

-s -m
• Restart the SQL Server instance service



SQL Server can be started from command line, using the
SQLSERVR.EXE. This EXE has some very important parameters
with which a DBA should be familiar with. -m is used for
starting SQL Server in single user mode and -f is used to
start the SQL Server in minimal confuguration mode.
