Re: Bug in MSKB918992 ("How to transfer the logins...") - How to report?

OK, we figured out what the problem was for me. It appears that either I
hadn't accepted the terms or fully registered. I went back and logged in,
then clicked Manage Your Connect Profile in the lower left corner, accepted
the terms and completed the registration, and now after I've searched on a
string, below the results box I see a Submit Feedback button. If what you
want to provide feedback on cannot be found, click that button and submit
it.

OK, the text has been cleaned up a little bit in the attempt to make it
clear that you have to search for the issue before you can submit new
feedback. This is done in the attempt to cut down on duplicates. Try the
search to find out if it's already been reported and if not, if you have
the ability to submit a new issue. I'll point out that it's not allowing
me to yet, they're working on it...

By VIPs perhaps you meant MVPs, and yes, they can report bugs via that
site. However, you should be able to also, and so should I. I got stuck
in the loop where you keep getting back to the page telling you that you
need to sign in to submit feedback. I've pinged a member of the dev team
to find out if they really meant for everybody to send email to the
administrator account listed on https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer.
At the moment, that would appear to be the only option to get access but
I don't think it's meant to be gated like that.

In the meantime, however, at the bottom of every KB article on the
support site is a section that allows you to submit comments/bugs. Scroll
to the bottom of http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918992/en-us and have a
look. The support folks will be reading that information and can correct
the article directly.

Hi all,

I found a bug in the listing in Knowledge Base Article 918992 ("How to
transfer the logins and the passwords between instances of SQL Server
2005"). Instead of

SET @tmpstr = 'CREATE LOGIN ' + QUOTENAME( @name ) + ' WITH PASSWORD = '
+ @PWD_string + ' HASHED, SID = ' + @SID_string + ' DEFAULT_DATABASE =
[' + @defaultdb + ']'

it should be

SET @tmpstr = 'CREATE LOGIN ' + QUOTENAME( @name ) + ' WITH PASSWORD = '
+ @PWD_string + ' HASHED, SID = ' + @SID_string + ', DEFAULT_DATABASE =
[' + @defaultdb + ']'

A colon has to be added before DEFAULT_DATABASE. Now while this little
bit of information might be useful to somebody here, the primary reason
for this posting is that the stupid interface for reporting bugs on the
MS web site
(http://connect.microsoft.com/feedback/default.aspx?SiteID=68) drove me
nuts! It wouldn't let me sign in for reporting bugs, I could only
search. Is this offering restricted to a selection of VIP users or
something? Can anybody enlighten me here? I was just trying to be
helpful...

Thanks and best regards
Nils Loeber
