If we move master database to a new location, does the ResourceDB database also move?

    No. While physically a database, it is logically akin to a DLL and never moves.

    Hi @Chaitanya Kiran,

    Thanks for your information.

    The Resource DB is a read-only database that contains all the system objects that are included with SQL Server. Changing the location of the Resource DB is not support or recommend.

    Here’s an article that describe how to move system databases in SQL Server. Hope it will help you well if you need.
