| I don't believe it is possible, no. There are automated ways of restoring the user identities post-restore, however - do a forum search here at sqlteam for it, I'm sure there are several threads discussing it.Jonathan Boott, MCDBA |

Users are stored in a database... So if you are backing up your database, you are taking the users with you. But fixing orphaned users is easy. Just look up sp_change_users_login stored procedure in BOL.I gotta work on my typing skills!  Edited by - izaltsman on 07/12/2002 10:24:03 |
