Can't copy/export a database with identity *NEWBIE*

I have a database where some tables have the IDENTITY = YES.
If I copy or export from ServerA to ServerB, the IDENTITY gets set to No.
This has to be a simple problem.
How is it fixed?
If you are simply doing an export/import you need to create the table with
the desired format on the subscriber/destination/target side - i.e. with the
identity property on the column. Then before you do your import set
identity_insert on for that table, i.e.
SET IDENTITY_INSERT MyTableName ONIf you are using bcp use the -E parameter.

I ended up using snapshot replication, and pushed it to the other machine.
