Basically I need to reset Identity Increment for all tables to its original. Here I tried some code, but it fails.

http://pastebin.com/KSyvtK5b

actual code from link:

USE World00_Character
GO

-- Create a cursor to loop through the System Ojects and get each table name
DECLARE TBL_CURSOR CURSOR
-- Declare the SQL Statement to cursor through
FOR ( SELECT Name FROM Sysobjects WHERE Type='U' )

-- Declare the @SQL Variable which will hold our dynamic sql
DECLARE @SQL NVARCHAR(MAX);
SET @SQL = '';
-- Declare the @TblName Variable which will hold the name of the current table
DECLARE @TblName NVARCHAR(MAX);

-- Open the Cursor
OPEN TBL_CURSOR

-- Setup the Fetch While that will loop through our cursor and set @TblName
FETCH NEXT FROM TBL_CURSOR INTO @TblName
-- Do this while we are not at the end of the record set
WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS <> -1)
BEGIN
-- Appeand this table's select count statement to our sql variable
SET @SQL = @SQL + ' ( SELECT '''+@TblName+''' AS Table_Name,COUNT(*) AS Count FROM '+@TblName+' ) UNION';

-- Delete info
EXEC('DBCC CHECKIDENT ('+@TblName+',RESEED,(SELECT IDENT_SEED('+@TblName+')))');

-- Pull the next record
FETCH NEXT FROM TBL_CURSOR INTO @TblName
-- End the Cursor Loop
END

-- Close and Clean Up the Cursor
CLOSE TBL_CURSOR
DEALLOCATE TBL_CURSOR

-- Since we were adding the UNION at the end of each part, the last query will have
-- an extra UNION. Lets  trim it off.
SET @SQL = LEFT(@SQL,LEN(@SQL)-6);

-- Lets do an Order By. You can pick between Count and Table Name by picking which
-- line to execute below.
SET @SQL = @SQL + ' ORDER BY Count';
--SET @SQL = @SQL + ' ORDER BY Table_Name';

-- Now that our Dynamic SQL statement is ready, lets execute it.
EXEC (@SQL);
GO

error message:

Error: Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1 Incorrect syntax near '('.

How can I either fix that SQL or reset identity for all tables to its original?

Thank you
