[dba-SQLServer] NEVERMIND (Fw: executing systemstored procedure)

Okay, a little more experimenting and here's what's interesting.

Mystery #1: When running against AdventureWorks, I have to use master..sp_ 
syntax, but others recognize sys.sp_ syntax.
Mystery #2: Even when using master..sp_ against AdventureWorks, it 
recognizes the sp, but doesn't actually run it -- I get a message that it's 
been successfully completed, but it hasn't actually done a thing.
