Server C, where I'm attempting to restore the logs, was actually configured before I came on board. Technically, it is online and usable, but this server is not officially "online in production". Once I can get the transaction logs updating correctly, then we'll turn off Server B and Server C will be operating in a production capacity. I went to WarehouseDB on Server C, did a right click to get to properties, went to Options and then changed the database to Read Only.

I will follow your suggestion to drop the database and restore a new full backup with STANDBY.

Correct me if I'm wrong.... Once I get this database restored and do a dry run of restoring the transaction log, I need to do that daily, until Server C is live and in production, right? Obviously if I don't keep this up, then WarehouseDB on Server C will not be in the proper state. For example, if we decide we want to switch to Server C in two weeks I have two choices: 1) do a daily restore of the transaction log on Server C so it is current and ready to go in two weeks or 2) the day of go-live, drop and restore the database to ensure it is current.

Thank you!!
