SSIS Transfer Database task

Just a few notes about the use of the transfer database control task in SSIS 2005.

We had several problems with the logins being corrupted when the database was placed in the new instances. It appears that the task attempts to match the users to the instances users as one of its' steps. If it cannot find the user names in the new instance it corrupts the dbo users and schema.

The simple solution is to make sure that all users exist in the new instance. The transfer database task will then match the DBID of the instance users. This saves you from having to run sp_change_users_login to match the DBID from the new database to the instance

Thanks you Sam for this one.
