Having successfully taken a database instance offline using the Management Studio I then attempted it bring that same database back online both using the Management Studio and by executing the following script.
ALTER DATABASE [dbname] SET ONLINE
This results in the following error
User does not have permission to alter database ‘dbname’, the database does not exist, or the database is not in a state that allows access checks.
