This is related to an earlier post of mine: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/2763c8f2-493f-45bf-b141-75af3e7fdfdd/restore-master?forum=sqlsecurity#154c40bf-95c5-4f2b-9840-1d31a93ecfec
We're seeing some odd results when we restore a master backup from the end of July. When we look at the master restored from October we see a user that was created on 7/12. Yet when we restore master from 7/27, the user with a 7/12 create date isn't showing up. Is there anything I can do to get an internal date of master? The backup is timestamped down to the ms so we're quite sure it's really from the end of July. When I run "select @@servername" and it shows the name of the server where the backup is from, so we're convinced it's the correct backup. But we can't make sense out of the fact that our 7/27 backup doesn't show the 7/12 user. Something maybe like "SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('ResourceLastUpdateDateTime');"? But from what I've read, the Resource info is not stored in master so that's probably not a good query. If there is any way to tell what date my master is from I'd really appreciate knowing how to tell.
Thanks again, Andre
