Windows Vista and Office 2007 session at High College of Technology Dubai Women College was a success. Myself and Muhammad Halawa (Microsoft) did a duet during the session. While I  present Windows Vista indepth and ran through many slides and on the other hand Muhammad Halawa wade through the demo on Vista and Office 2007.

I was carrying HP wide screen with specs. Intel Core Duo - 64 bit, 3 Ghz with 512 MB RAM and 512 MB GPU. The performance was amazing and I was switching between applications like I was flying.

If there is another session here I will be back, it was a great time spending with the highly profile management.

We presented to a staff with strength of 50+ who were passionate to learn this new platform.

For test environments developers would like to have the same master database copied to the testing database so they could simulate the testing as if it were running on production. But even after copying the entire database developers are unable to connect. Errrrrrrr!!!

Yes, this happens normally but why? copying database from testing to production doesn't mean the logins have been copied, since they are residing in syslogins table under master database so they won't transfer with every database transfer. Now what to do?

Here comes the sp_help_revlogin stored procedure which after executing in turn generates a T-SQL script contains all the logins and passwords. And on executing this T-SQL on testing database duplicate all the logins associated with the database.

Sounds interesting :)
