Copying DB in SQL 2005

I used the Copy Database Wizard in SQL 2005 and I selected SQL Management
Object method to copy one DB onto a new one on the same server, it looks lik
e
it worked but the Identity Seed and Identity increment properties are missin
g
on some of the columns on the new DB. Has anyone else experienced this
behavior?Same here... It also occurs with the Transfer Object task in SSIS, the
Identity attribute is dropped from tables. Currently I am using Dump/Restor
e
to copy DBs. My preference is to use Transfer Object to transfer only table
s
between DBs, but the droppped Identity prevents that solution.
