Hi,

we're trying to script the creation of a large number of geodatabases for a SQL Server instance (currently, but not necessarily Express). This seems to be part of ArcToolbox from 10.1, but what about 10.0? I can use SSEUTIL to create the database, but how do I populate the schema to turn it into a geodatabase? If I use GP in 10.1 or 10.2, I won't be able to use the database from 10.0, right?

Thanks, Martin

PS I'm still a bit confused about the structure here - if this is the wrong location, can someone point me in the right direction?

Yes, I did that yesterday. No reply yet.

Problem solved: We need to activate and start the SQL Server Browser service. By default, this is deactivated. Tech support pointed out a KB article from 2008 about this, which I missed in my research...

Anyway, thanks for the support!
