hi, i am a reseller for kaspersky antivirus. my customer previously had purchased kaspersky corporate solution from us. For the centralized management program to work.. we need to have some kind of database to store event and all , so that the centralized management program will be able to generate reports and such.

For the centralized management program to work or even start it service ... the database service and the database has to be running..

i have a client who installed msde2000 sp3 .. who is now having problem with the management program due to the database problem.

When i investigated the log file, i found these

2008-05-20 12:19:14.09 spid51 Starting up database 'KAV'.
2008-05-20 12:19:14.10 spid51 Bypassing recovery for database 'KAV' because it is marked SUSPECT.


The database is marked as suspect!! .... i need to fix this issue so that i could get the kaspersky management program up and running.

i have 0 expericen in sql ... i googled for solution , there is alot f website recomends to run the sp_resetstatus ... but for me , i have no idea where to start ... where do i run this command??

in my command prompt? do i need to connect to my sql/msde first?

Can you specialist , please guide me on how to do the sp_resetsatus ?

There is a reason the database was marked suspect. I would suggest opening a call with Microsoft. But if you still want to reset the status, open Query Analyser and then follow this:

If you do not have a full fledged version of SQL Server 2000 anywhere, there are other tools you can use. Do a google search for "SQL Server 200 Client Tools".

This will point to a couple of free tools, one is dbWidget - http://www.yazoosoft.com

Or there is http://www.asql.biz/DbaMgr.shtm

I've never used either, so can't say what they are like.

No, you would need to type the SQL into the query window.

As it says in the first link I gave you, you would need to be the system admin to do this. I am not sure if you have the rights to do this, but I suspect you may not have. You would be best off raising a call or hiring a SQL expert for an hour or two.

You can run query with osql. By the way, sp_resetstatus will not fix db suspect issue. You should check windows event logs to find out if there are any disk related errors, and rebooting machine may solve that.
