Hi,

Currently I'm using log shipping method to failover from backup server to live server. But how about those users and database email profile? It didn't copy from backup server to live server. Does this mean i need to create back one by one? Or anyway which i'm not aware?
Anyone can help on my question?

Thanks in advance.

Logins (not users) are in the master database and email profiles are in the msdb database, so you will have to create those on the server you are failing over to.

You will have to do the same for jobs, DTS or SSIS packages, and linked servers.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the info.

Create those Logins and Profiles manually one by one?

If the Live server is down and can't access, we cannot copy from Live to Backup server. Is there any solution on this?

This is what we used and I wrote to transfer the logins: http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/archive/2008/06/24/How-to-transfer-SQL-logins-between-SQL-Server-2005-instances.aspx

I can't imagine you have that many email profiles to warrant a fancy script.
