DTS and "Allow Updates" conflict???

[Guest_imported]

I've been trying to move 5 database files from my development machine to my production machine.
After doing a sp_detach_db and phycially deleting the existing files on my destination server, I kicked off a DTS routine to move the files. It appears to have run fine for about 1 hour and then it died. In my SQL server log file for the production system, it indicated that the "Allow Updates" parameter was changed and I must run "reconfigure". Around this same time, I noticed that my DTS running from my source machine died. What is going on? Is there any connection or do I have a bigger problem? I'm trying to move a 100gb environment and I'm running out of time in my 31 hour window.

Which commands are you using to move the files with DTS? Wouldn't it be faster to COPY the files if on the same domain or use FTP if on different domains? You might be able to pick up time by copying some of the files in parallel. Terry L. Broadbent
