Is the schedule also enabled?  Is SQL Agent running?

I have the same type situation with homegrown logshipping.  I accomplish this by updating a "control" table on Server B when Job...

That really depends on how active the log is.  For example, if you are taking transaction logs every 10-15 minutes, or are auditing successful logins, you might want to recycle...

You said the query for HugeDerivedTable has a parameter in it, which would seem to invalidate my suggestion.  But, without knowing the parameter, and how it affects the derived table,...

Wow! Such kind words about the forum and no responses to your query for nearly 22 hours?!?!  Well, it seems responses have slowed due to the holiday season.  I know absolutely...

If you do that, you'll need to change to full recovery model, then take your full backup, so that your tlog backups can associate with the full backup.

The ODBC connection is set up to use Integrated Security.

The Windows Group has been properly granted access to SQL...

I assume that you are trying to "open any table/view" from EM.  Have you tried a select query from QA?

By the way, about the comma, I can't tell you how...

If you pasted your restore command exactly as you were running it, your problem may be the missing comma at the end of the first move.

Why????

As Tyson said, just multiply by -1.

positive values become negative ( 1 * -1 = -1).

negative values become positive (-1 * -1 = 1).

Thats what the original request was for!

No...

Provided there is a share set up on the network resource, you can use the unc path.  Again, using xp_cmdshell, execute the "DOS" copy command -

exec master..xp_cmdshell 'copy d:\test.txt

Please provide specific information about what you are trying to do.
