Log Shipping Problem

I am implementing Log Shipping. I have the transaction logs copying to
the standby server and applying to the standby database with no errors.
However, I am having problems with the role change. I am using the
following article/link as my guide:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...1_013_9t0p.asp

The DTS package that I am to create to copy the logins from the current
primary server to the current secondary server is not working.

The job that I created (that encompasses BCP Out, Copy File, and
Transfer Logins) fails at the Transfer Logins step. That is the step
that calls the DTS package. Even though the Copy File step shows as
'successful', the file is definitely not on the standby server.

Here is the error message from the Transfer Login step:
Executed as user: SERVERNAME\Administrator. DTSRun: Loading...
DTSRun: Executing... DTSRun OnStart:
DTSStep_OMWCustomTasks.OMWTransferLogins_1 DTSRun OnError:
DTSStep_OMWCustomTasks.OMWTransferLogins_1, Error = -2147467259
(80004005) Error string: Unspecified error Error source:
Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package Help file:
sqldts80.hlp Help context: 700 Error Detail Records:
Error: -2147467259 (80004005); Provider Error: 0 (0) Error
string: Unspecified error Error source: Microsoft Data
Transformation Services (DTS) Package Help file: sqldts80.hlp
Help context: 700 DTSRun OnFinish:
DTSStep_OMWCustomTasks.OMWTransferLogins_1 DTSRun: Package execution
complete. Process Exit Code 1. The step failed.

Both servers are running Server 2003. Both databases are SQL Server
2000 with SP3.

I have followed the steps in the article. Am I missing something? Or,
have I misinterpreted something? I would appreciate any help you could
provide.

Thanks in advance,
Jennie

I purchased Allan Hirt's "SQL Server 2000 High Availability" last
night. It has an entire chapter (72 pages!) devoted to log shipping. It
has slightly different instructions for setting up the
post-configuration tasks - as compared to the Microsoft article that I
had been following. His instructions work!

If you are implementing log shipping, I highly recommend this book!
