Transfer logins for selected databases.

  • Hi all,

    How can we transfer the logins associated (mapped to) to only a particular database to another SQL Server.

    I have tried the "Transfer Logins Task" in the SSIS. But when I execute the task I dont get the Logins at the SQL Server level (at server A),which are mapped to DATABASE1, to the server B.

    I refuse to use the sp_change_users_login SP to create the SQL Loogins.

    John

  • Thanks for responding.

    But I believe the above two methods are for transfering all the SQL Logins in the SQL server to another server.

    I'm going to transfer a database x from Server A to B.

    I just need to transfer those logins that are mapped to database x.

    Any help?

    Thanks

    John

  • this links contains many scripts , see which one can help you.

  • You need to execute the script from the support website as given above on the server A.

    Then execute the following stored procedure on the master database of Server A.

    USE [master]

    GO

    EXEC sp_help_revlogin

    The above sp will generate all the logins present on the serverA.

    Browse to the database, whose logins you want to copy, expand the database and go to security.

    You will get a list of users for the database. Copy the corresponding logins for the users from the output of the above sp.

    Execute it on ServerB, the logins will be created there.

    Here is a link for the step-by-step method.

    Hope, this may help.

  • Hi ,

    If the SQL logins mapped to a Database X, then corresponding dabtase users will be created.

    But if the SQL Logins mapped to this database X has the 'DEAFAULT_DATABASE' option set as 'master', then the SSIS task 'Transfer SQL Logins' cannot transfer the SQL logins (mapped to database x) to another server.

    I believe so as the T-SQL methods, because we take the information from sys.server_principals.

    Please can any one guide on this, because in my case the all SQL logins has a setting of 'DEFAULT_DATBASE' as 'master'

    John

  • Thanks Sudeepta,

    Actually I was looking for a straight forward TSQL method or SSIS task to pick the SQL logins for particular databases and trasfer to another database.

    I believe if the DEFAULT_DATABASE option for SQL login is not set correctly accroding to the respective databases/logins, then we need to try the manual method suggested by you.

    (like picking only the script for databases that are required, from the output of rev_login)

    Thanks

    John

    Hi John "The Default Database" being master shouldn't effect your logins.

    If you want to filter the logins for a particular db using tsql you can use the sp_helprevlogin script given above and add the following join when populating the cursor.

    inner join dbname.sys.database_principals d

    ON ( p.name = d.name )

  • You can do this from SQL script task wizard..

    select users-->in advanced select script login=true

    Hope this will help

  • Do a find/replace of YOURDBNAME in this script and that should give you what you are looking for. It's a modified version of the sp_help_revlogin for SQL Server 2005 that works with 05/08.

    --Description: Scripts logins for one db

    --*****IMPORTANT replace YOURDBNAME with the name of the database that holds the users that you need scripted
