Ever restore (a) database(s) which have users that are on the server you are restoring to? When you look at the users, they dont have the database assigned to them, but they are in the security area of the database you restored. This is a issue where the userids do not synch up from one server to another. If you use my script it will go through the entire server and fix these issues. This usually happens when doing database restores from prod to dev. If there are no orphans, then the script wont return a thing! set nocount on go DECLARE @databasename as varchar(200) declare @strSQL as nvarchar (4000) DECLARE Curse CURSOR local fast_forward FOR SELECT name FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases WHERE name not in ('master', 'msdb', 'model', 'tempdb','AdventureWorks','AdventureWorksDW') OPEN Curse FETCH next FROM Curse INTO @databasename WHILE @@fetch_status = 0 BEGIN SET @strSQL = 'USE '+ @databasename + ' declare @usrname varchar(100), @command varchar(100) declare Crs insensitive cursor for select name as UserName from sysusers where issqluser = 1 and (sid is not null and sid <> 0x0) and suser_sname(sid) is null order by name for read only open Crs fetch next from Crs into @usrname while @@fetch_status=0 begin IF exists(select * FROM master..syslogins WHERE [name] = @usrname) select @command='' sp_change_users_login auto_fix, '' + @usrname print @command exec(@command) fetch next from Crs into @usrname end close Crs deallocate Crs' EXEC dbo.sp_executesql @strSQL fetch next from Curse into @databasename end close Curse deallocate Curse
