Hi Tara,

I am rebuilding standalone sql server 2005 standard edition on windows 2003 sp3. Previously it was active/passive cluster. We have backup on netbackup.

So after sql server 2005 standard edition installation I want to install SP3. Previously it was SP2 on cluster. Is there will be any issue with restoration of system and user databases or any thing else if I change SP from SP2 to SP3 on new server?

Thanks

There will be a problem restoring the system databases if you restore them after upgrading. Since you are rebuilding the system, I wouldn't bother with restoring the system databases at all.

I would script out the logins, jobs and any other objects stored in the system databases and rebuild those on the new system. Then, restore the user databases.
