Use of the Setup command to rebuild the master database has changed in this Microsoft SQL Server release. Run Setup.exe to rebuild, verify, and repair a SQL Server instance, and rebuild the system databases. This procedure is most often used to rebuild the master database for a corrupted installation of SQL Server.

Note:
When possible, use Windows Authentication.
