Fix Orphaned Database Users
From Wiki
Most common when performing restores or re-attaching databases, database users become orphaned. This simply means the database user is not assocaited with a sql server login. To fix these situations you can run the following in the database context that the database user exists in
- SET NOCOUNT ON
- USE AdventureWorks
- GO
- DECLARE @loop INT
- DECLARE @User sysname
- IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#Orphaned') IS NOT NULL
- BEGIN
- DROP TABLE #orphaned
- END
- CREATE TABLE #Orphaned (UserName sysname, UserSID varbinary(85),IDENT INT IDENTITY(1,1))
- INSERT INTO #Orphaned
- EXEC sp_change_users_login 'report';
- IF(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM #Orphaned) > 0
- BEGIN
- SET @loop = 1
- WHILE @loop <= (SELECT MAX(IDENT) FROM #Orphaned)
- BEGIN
- SET @user = (SELECT UserName FROM #Orphaned WHERE IDENT = @loop)
- IF(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM sys.server_principals WHERE [Name] = @User) <= 0
- BEGIN
- EXEC sp_addlogin @User,'password'
- END
- EXEC sp_change_users_login 'update_one',@User,@User
- PRINT @user + ' link to DB user reset';
- SET @loop = @loop + 1
- END
- END
- SET NOCOUNT OFF
