Hi folks.Copy [i]mssqlsystemresource.mdf[/i] of a recently upgraded server and paste to an oldserver have same effect of upgrading via .exe installation?Is anyone trying this method without problems after that?My idea is to save time and administrative efforts in upgrades (Service Packs and/or Cumulative Updates) using this method.According to [url=https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190940.aspx]BOL[/url]:[quote]The Resource database makes upgrading to a new version of SQL Server an easier and faster procedure. In earlier versions of SQL Server, upgrading required dropping and creating system objects. Because the Resource database file contains all system objects, [b]an upgrade is now accomplished simply by copying the single Resource database file to the local server.[/b][/quote]Thanks in advance for any help you are able to provide.
