                                          | Thanks Tara for reply. There is one tab under security tab called Credentials. Under credentials we can create credentials from login. I want to script those credentials not logins. |

                                          | This is what we use. You may need to augment it if you're using EKM.[CODE]select	'CREATE CREDENTIAL ' + name + ' WITH IDENTITY = ''' + credential_identity + ''', SECRET = ''<Put Password Here>'';'from	sys.credentials order by name;[/CODE]BTW, the SECRET clause is optional so you could probably do without it.=======================================Faced with the choice between changing one's mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof. -John Kenneth Galbraith |

                                          | Thanks Bustaz, it works. Another question is if I ignore SECRET clauase, how password will be copied? I dropped a credentials, used script created by your select statement and remove secret part, new credential created with password, I don't know from where it copied password. May be this password different from previous. |
