Please help! My boss introduced a worm on our network through his email (hasn't been updating his virus definitions lately). I was able to start copying the LDF and MDF files to a backup server. Does the MDF file include stored procedures? If not, how can I get those pulled over without the SQL Server service started on the infected server?
All the best,

Way to go Dale! Glad to hear you are back up and hopefully without any problems (besides a boss you would probably like to strangle). Maybe now your boss will see the light and keep the Anti_virus updated (yes that is a joke).

Hi Dale,

good to hear, that you've managed it.

Äh, your boss plays around with such sophisticated tools like an email client AND an antivirus software? And you leave it really up to him to care about the virus definition updates.

Don't you think this does ask far too much of him

Cheers,

Frank

Dearest Frank,

There is no arguing with a boss who seems to think he knows everything and talks and never listens. SQLBill is on the right track. This is definitely an eye opener for them, and believe me, I was so angry last night that I threatened to resign. When they realized what a serious dilemna I could leave them in, they were begging me to stay and blocking the exit to the doorway! Ha! Ha! It's a shame it had to come to that...

Frank, Allen, and SQLBill. Sorry about that last post from sqlinsite's account. sqlinsite is the account my buddy uses that works in the office suite next door. I got him hooked on SQLServerCentral a while back. I just borrowed his computer so I could check my email. Our Internet is shut down until I can get a handle on this virus. Anyway, that last post was really from me. Sorry, didn't mean to confuse anybody.
