orphaned logins

  • I had the need to recover my databases on a different server (DR Drill)

    The Server has a different name than the production server where these databases normally live.

    What I did was script out the logins using sp_help_revlogin on the source server and then ran the script on the destination server.

    I then restored all of my user databases to the destination server from a recent backup.   After the restores, All of the logins look fine permissions-wise and all of the passwords work too!!   but.. when I go into security via EM and look at any of the logins to double-check permissions, I get a dialog box wanting me to 'confirm' the password change and I can't OK so I have to cancel out.  all of the logins are behaving this way - even 'sa' - but they all work fine...  any ideas??????? 

  • This is a known bug that happens after MS03-031. A hotfix is available here.

    FIX: You are prompted for password confirmation after you change a standard SQL Server login
