Hi all

I know this is answered here but I have no clue what it is saying or where and how to run the script. http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=12615

I moved a backed up copy of my database from one server to another. I restored it but there is now an orphan user.

I ran into this problem about 3 years ago and know the fix was a lot simplier that the above reference.

Please help me understand how to get the user login name restored.

Thanks very much.

Just run sp_change_users_login against the one userid (@action = Update_One). Chadmat's stored procedure is when you have multiple orphaned users.

Check SQL Server Books Online for syntax.

Thanks. But they fail to tell you what program to use to run sp_change_users_login.

Is this accomplished in Enterprise or QA?

sp_change_users_login [ @Action = ] 'action'
[ , [ @UserNamePattern = ] 'user' ]
[ , [ @LoginName = ] 'login' ]
[ , [ @Password = ] 'password' ]

Thanks

Query Analyzer

Enterprise Manager is a GUI tool. To run commands, you use Query Analyzer.
