I have configured a log shipping setup, unfortunately I did not shrink
the log file before taking the backup on the primary server.

Now I realized that the log file on the secondary server is really
big. The DB has been configure to be in standby & redonly mode... Can
I shrink the secondary databases log file ..

& what would the best method be for it


Thanks

If the log file needed to be that big on the primary it will also need to be
that big on the secondary as well as they will have the same exact
transactions applied. I haven't tried it but I see no reason why you cant
shrink it but not sure that you should. What are you trying to accomplish by
shrinking it?
