Can I add when I tried this command, the "sqlinstance rtc" section had to be "-sqlinstancename rtc" (without the quotes). I have yet to do the rest of the set-up and move the management server so will let you know if I find any other changes I had to do that other users might find useful as alternatives if the original guide does not work. |

| Thanks for his article, worked for me! Worth noting that I had to change sqlinstance name from rtc to our instancename as we do not have the default name. | |

I was following the TechNet article on how to move the database, ran into this error, and your article resolved my problem. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj688013.aspx |

| Thank you! Thank you! I'm guessing I was missing the -clean argument when I tried on my own. Works great now! | |
