Workaround

1. Temporarily rename the SDE database to another name.2. Create the new geodatabase using the geoprocessing tool.3. Rename the old SDE database back to 'SDE'.*Use SQL Server tools such as SQL Server Management Studio to rename the database. Important! The SDE database cannot be used while it has been renamed. If the SDE database is part of a multiple-database model geodatabase which includes other databases, none of the member databases can be used while the SDE database is renamed. Be sure that no users are connected to the SDE database (and for MDM-GDB, other member databases) while the SDE database is renamed.
