    Another problem is NetBIOS.

    My dev server is on a different subnet to the prod server and because SQL2k5 still insists on using netbios names, it failed all the time; yes I did try specifying FQDN and raw IP, it kept converting it back all the time.

    After adding the netbios name/IP to lmhosts the problem fixed itself up nicely. If anyone knows a better (or proper) way of doing that, feel free to post :)

    Of course now I am having a problem getting the logins to copy (works fine if I dont). Time to scour the Interweb once more :)

    Dear,

    I use the SQL Management Object method and receive the following error when using the Copy Database wizard:

    Event Name: OnError

    Let us know if you are using Attach/ Detach method or SMO transfer

    Could you please post the exact error message . Please make sure that SQL Agent was started and running before you copy a database using Copy database Wizard

    Thanks

    I also have the same issue and I am using the Attach/Detach method. I also have SQLServiceAgent Service Started and Automatic. It still fails on the last step.

    In addition, I would like to know how I can delete the saved SSIS package that the Copy Database Wizard has created. I also want to know how to modify it but since I can't get to it, I can't modify it.

    I can see the job and according to the information that the job has given me the

    Package Source: SQL Server

    Package Location: Server/Instance \ DTS Packages \ Copy Database Wizard Packages\ Name of Package

    I greatly appreciate any assistance you can extend to me.

    Thanks,

    Lorenzo
