Could someone point me in the direction of a step-by-step tutorial for
replicating a SQL Server 2000 database as an MSDE database in a seperate
machine, with all tables (including data), users/security, etc.
Currently I'm taking a backup (I can't script the data from Ent. Mgr) and
using oSQL to restore the database to an MSDE install on a machine.
It's done in two steps - installing MSDE and restoring the backup. However,
after the backup has been restored (the user restores correctly) - I am
unable to connect to the database as the default user that I created in the
backup. If I remove the user and re-add him via Ent. Mgr then I can
connect... does anyone know why this is?
First Step - Install MSDE script:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set fso = createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")
Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objShell.Exec(fso.getabsolutepathname(".") & "\setup.exe BLANKSAPWD=1
SAPWD="""" SECURITYMODE=SQL TARGETDIR=""C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\Mssql\Binn\"" DATADIR=""C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\Mssql\Data\"" instancename=""" & WshNetwork.ComputerName &
"\DatabaseName""")
Second Step - Restore the database backup:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
set fso = createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")
Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
currentpath = fso.getabsolutepathname(".")
' Start the msde service
objShell.Exec("net start MSSQL$" & WshNetwork.ComputerName &
"\DatabaseName")
' Make local data and backup directories
'objShell.Exec("md c:\SQL_Databases\DATA")
'objShell.Exec("md c:\SQL_Databases\BACKUP")
' Copy this Repository.bak to the SQL_Databases DatabaseName.bak
fso.CopyFile currentpath &
"\Repository.bak","c:\SQL_Databases\BACKUP\DatabaseName.bak"
' Restore
objShell.Exec(currentpath & "\osql.exe -S" & WshNetwork.ComputerName &
"\DatabaseName -E -Q ""restore database DatabaseName from disk =
'C:\SQL_Databases\BACKUP\DatabaseName.bak'""")
All I want to do is reproduce one of my SQL Server databases AS IS on
several client workstations by way of an MSDE installer.
Any help gratefully appreciated !
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Kevin and Joseph,
Many thanks for your replies relating to my difficulties with the orphaned
users that arise when restoring a backup on a different server.
Using the sp_change_user_login stored procedure worked perfectly.
Thanks again for your advice, and please accept my apologies for the slight
crosspost.
Best Regards,
Mike
