This blog describes process of rebuilding system databases in clustered environment.Sometimes an unexpected shutdown of SQL Server database server has resulted in crashing of the SQL Server or system databases. In this case when you will try to start SQL Server service, it will not start and if you will check the SQL Server error logs to check error message, you could see the following entries “ Restore the database from a full backup, or repair the database”, “ Cannot recover the master database”. Means that corruption of master database.So system databases must be rebuilt to fix corruption problems in the master, model, msdb, or resource system databases.When master, model, and msdb system databases are rebuilt, the databases are dropped and re-created in their original location. Any user modifications to these databases are lost. For example, you may have user-defined objects in the master database, scheduled jobs in msdb, or changes to the default database settings in the model database.Now to get system databases back to its original position means all SQL logins and jobs, we need to restore last or previous full backup files of master, model and msdb databases.

So it is very important to configure and schedule system databases backup also like other user databases in SQL Server.In this blog, we are using SQL Server 2008 R2 failover cluster.
