Adding Logins Via SSEUtil Compared To SQL Server Management Studio

Hello all,

I am currently in the process of setting up an SQL Server Express installation that comes packaged with an application I have written. My problem is that I want to use SQL Server user management (not just windows users) which work fine if I set them up manually. I started writing a script that I have SSEUtil execute once the application is fully installed (a step in my installation script) which sets up the users and passwords etc. The script is similar to the following:

USE [DBName]
GO

EXEC sp_DropUser 'user1'
EXEC sp_DropUser 'user2'
EXEC sp_DropUser 'user3'
EXEC sp_DropUser 'user4'
GO

USE [master]
GO

EXEC sp_DropLogin 'user1'
EXEC sp_DropLogin 'user2'
EXEC sp_DropLogin 'user3'
EXEC sp_DropLogin 'user4'
GO

CREATE LOGIN user1 WITH Password = 'user1', CHECK_EXPIRATION=OFF, CHECK_POLICY=OFF
CREATE LOGIN user2 WITH Password = 'user2', CHECK_EXPIRATION=OFF, CHECK_POLICY=OFF
CREATE LOGIN user3 WITH Password = 'user3', CHECK_EXPIRATION=OFF, CHECK_POLICY=OFF
CREATE LOGIN user4 WITH Password = 'user4', CHECK_EXPIRATION=OFF, CHECK_POLICY=OFF
GO

USE [DBName]
GO

EXEC sp_AddUser 'user1'
EXEC sp_AddUser 'user2'
EXEC sp_AddUser 'user3'
EXEC sp_AddUser 'user4'
GO

ALTER USER user1 WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA = MySchema
ALTER USER user2 WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA = MySchema
ALTER USER user3 WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA = MySchema
ALTER USER user4 WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA = MySchema
GO

REVOKE ALTER,DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON MySchema.Table1 FROM MyRole
REVOKE ALTER,DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON MySchema.Table2 FROM MyRole
REVOKE ALTER,DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON MySchema.Table3 FROM MyRole
REVOKE ALTER,DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON MySchema.Table4 FROM MyRole
GO

EXEC sp_DropRole 'MyRole'
EXEC sp_AddRole 'MyRole'
GO

GRANT ALTER,DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON MySchema.Table1 TO MyRole
GRANT ALTER,DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON MySchema.Table2 TO MyRole
GRANT ALTER,DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON MySchema.Table3 TO MyRole
GRANT ALTER,DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON MySchema.Table4 TO MyRole
GO

EXEC sp_AddRoleMember 'MyRole','user1'
EXEC sp_AddRoleMember 'MyRole','user2'
EXEC sp_AddRoleMember 'MyRole','user3'
EXEC sp_AddRoleMember 'MyRole','user4'
GO

Now if I run this script from within SQL Server Management Studio it executes perfectly. The logins add, the role is added, each user is added to the database logins and assigned to the role, the schema is set correctly on each user.

Then when I try to run the exact same script from the SSEUtil application (SSEUTIL -s PCNAMEInstance -run USERS.SQL), it processes everything, except the Logins.

This is frustrating as it means to install for a client I would need to either get them to open the management console and run the script from there, or I have to go to site just to setup users.

Am I on the right track? Or is there another way to automate the adding of Logins?

Thanks in advance,

DSXC
