So you have done a restore of your virtual machine.
Sign in to SQL and boom! Your database is in recovery pending mode!
What the hell is that?
To fix:
- Go to the folder where the ldf and mdf is stored, grant access to 'everyone'
-Sign back in to SQL, restart the service
-Run the following script and you are good to go!
ALTER DATABASE dbnamehere SET ONLINE
And voila! Problem resolved!
