I am using SQLSERVER2012.Iam trying to move tempdb database from one drive to another drive. it was not creating new data and log files in new location. I executed below script and then restarted services. but the data file and log file are not created in
new path.
USE master;
GO
alter database tempdb MODIFY FILE (NAME = tempdev,FILENAME='NEW PATH');
GO
alter database tempdb MODIFY FILE (NAME = templog,FILENAME='NEW PATH');

Hi 
I cannot reproduce it... The below perfectly worked for me
USE master;
GO
ALTER DATABASE tempdb 
MODIFY FILE (NAME = tempdev, FILENAME = 'E:\SQLData\tempdb.mdf');
GO
ALTER DATABASE tempdb 
MODIFY FILE (NAME = templog, FILENAME = 'F:\SQLLog\templog.ldf');
GO
