Hi Guys.

I just completed this how to configure tranaction log ship
http://msmvps.com/blogs/omar/archive/2006/09/15/How-to-setup-SQL-Server-2005-Transaction-Log-Ship-on-large-database-that-really-works.aspx

And step 29 explains that i need to restore the log file which i did exactaly to the point.
"REMEMBER: go to options tab and set the Recovery State to "RESTORE WITH STANDBY" before you hit the OK button."

So now the DB is still in StandBy / Read only mode
even after step 53 why is that or have a missed a step somewhere?

Just a side note.
I created a table in my primary DB the job log report all steps where completed 100% but if i look at the secondary DB the table is not there?

What am i missing?

That's correct. The secondary has to be either recovering or standby to allow further logs to be restored.
