MSSQL Changing login for user

October 18th, 2011 No comments

Sometimes when you move a database to another server it is necessary to change the login for a user to match the new environment. You can use the alter user command to do this. Do something like the following:

ALTER USER [THE_USER_NAME] WITH NAME = NEW_USER_NAME, LOGIN = [MACHINENAME\NEW_USER_NAME];

Not really complicated, but handy when you need it. 🙂
