I tried moving my tempdb to a different drive other than C: but now sql service won't start. I've tried to start from cmd prompt with -f. I think the service starts but when I try to open a 2nd command prompt and run sqlcmd to try and alter the tempdb file location back to C: I get the below. Any help is greatly appreciated. C:\Users\bryana.admin>sqlcmdSqlcmd: Error: Microsoft ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server : Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2]. .Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server : Login timeout expired.Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server : A network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server.
