scptxfr.exe used by user other than sa?

  • Hi All,

    The utility scptxfr.exe used to create the structure. The utility doesn't have the /U switch. Can any other user other than the sa can use this utility?

    Any thoughts on this will help!

    Thanks!

  • I believe you need to be a sys admin, but it might work for a db owner. You need to use integrated security (Windows Auth) if you want someone other than sa to run it.

  • hI Steve,

    I am not an expert with window NT adminstration. Can you guide me on how I should go about doing the integrated security?

  • Which version of SQL? I believe with v7 and 2k, this is always present. So when you add a login, you choose an NT login rather than a SQL login and the users' network password is used. Then the scptxfr utility has a /I option that will use the person's network credentials to conncet.

    Once you choose an NT login, then the user mapping to a db is the same as any other login.
