Copy accounts to secondary log shipping server

  • We just implemented log shipping and use the secondary DB server for reporting. How can I add the existing users on the primary server to the secondary DB so they can access the database. Do i need to create a new account on the primary server, get the SID and create a new account on the secondary server with the same SID or can i migrate the existing accounts over to the secondary server? Help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!

  • I figured it out.

  • Would you be able to let me know what you did to fix this?

    I have implemented log shipping and now they want me to add a new sql server account.

    I added the account to the primary.

    Then I used the sid from primary to create the account on the secondary master database.

    Problem is: The user account doesn't show up in the secondary databases.

    How do you add new accounts to the primary and get them to show up in the secondary?

    Thanks,

    Mark

  • Its also a good idea to disable the login at the source (if possible) to prevent accidental access there
