log shipping load failure

Hi guys,
In my lodg shipping setup i selected the option terminate
users in database. but if the database is open the restore
is failing with following error.
[Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000)] Error 3101:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Exclusive
access could not be obtained because the database is in
use.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]RESTORE LOG
is terminating abnormally.
is it normal?
as fars as i know with the above option selected it should
terminate the users and restore succesfully.
thanks

Biju,
no, this is not normal. Can you double check that the option was enabled by
editing the maintenance plan. If it definitely is, then have a look at the
current activity window (locked objects, TSQL etc) on the standby server to
see which process is locking the database and what exactly it is doing. This
should give some ideas as to what the issue is.

OK - have a look at the processes locking the database in the current
activity window (or sp_who, sp_who2, sp_lock etc).
If necessary do a trace.
