I have implemented log shipping and now I've been asked to add a new sql server account.

I added the account to the primary.
Then I used the sid from primary to create the same account on the secondary master database.

Problem is: The user account doesn't show up in the secondary databases.

How do you add new accounts to the primary and get them to show up in the secondary?

Thanks,
Mark

did you use sp_help_revlogin to transfer the new ID?

what are the results when you run

exec sp_helpuser
and
exec sp_change_users_login 'report'

in the secondary database

if you added the user in the primary database and have restored a log backup post that action on the secondary, it will be there.

What he said. BigGrin

Simply adding the login to both the source and destination SQL instance isnt enough. If a transaction log backup hasnt been taken, copied and restored the user wont be available at the destination
