SSIS Transfer Login Task Error

Question

I have created an SSIS Transfer Logins Task. I have selected the SourceConnection and DestinationConnection and both valid and active.

I have selected certain Windows group accounts to transfer from source to destination databases. IfObjectExists is set to 'Overwrite' and CopySids is 'True'.

When I run the task I get the following error:

SSIS package "F:\SQL Server\SSDT\acQuire Migration\acQuire Migration SSIS\acQuire Migration SSIS\Package.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC002F325 at Transfer Logins Task, Transfer Logins Task: Execution failed with the following error: "An exception occurred in SMO.".
Error: 0xC002F325 at Transfer Logins Task, Transfer Logins Task: Execution failed with the following error: "Value cannot be null.

The Execution method succeeded, but the number of errors raised (2) reached the maximum allowed (1); resulting in failure. This occurs when the number of errors reaches the number specified in MaximumErrorCount. Change the MaximumErrorCount or fix the errors.

Answer 1

Instead of going through the rabbit hole of finding a fix for the error, I would highly suggest you use dbatools

Copy-DbaLogin

This command migrates logins from source to destination SQL Servers. Supports SQL Server versions 2000 and above. Migrates logins with

SIDs

passwords

defaultdb

server roles & securables

database permissions & securables

login attributes (enforce password policy, expiration, language, etc).

e.g.

Copy-DbaLogin -Source sqlserver -Destination sqlcluster

and there are many more commands that will make your life easier
