Background to this error
I've been trying to move my destination logshipping database to another physical server for analysis purposes. Because I do not have active directory set up, I had to hack my process by using the same username/password for both the source and destination servers to get the process to work.
Following that, I used this guy's solution to move the destination database to another server. However, this error occurs when I try to bring the database back online.
I don't have an E drive on my server and I have no idea why it's trying to open a file from E drive. I have over a 100gb left on my hard disk so it's definitely not a space issue. This sounds like a bug... Any ideas?
I'm running SQL Server 2008 Enterprise edition on Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit
