I used the copy database wizard to copy my database from our test server to our production server, the database copied everything fine except for the diagram.
Okay no problem, first I make sure the target database on production has the support objects created to use database diagraming. Then I select to import data from the other database and chose the dbo.sysdiagrams.Go through with the rest of the import data wizard, but then I get the following error:
Validating (Error)

So apparently it didn't like that. What's the problem? I am pretty beginner in SQL Server and only do stuff via the GUI usually so am not sure what to do at this point.
The databases are the same, but on different servers.
Thanks!
