System database are moved for different purposes. The major reasons could be performance improvement, disk maintenance, hardware failures, space constraints. Moving the system databases offers some real advantages but needs to be done carefully and consistently. In this lab, it is explained step by step on how to move and rebuild different system databases such as Tempdb, Model, Msdb and Master database.

In the fifth exercise we will learn to rebuild the system databases.
