  • the best two options would be to either backup and restore (if you want to keep the database on the origional server as well) or detach and reattach if you want to move it to another server and work on it from there

    BOL link to backup/restore ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/udb9/html/b93e9701-72a0-408e-958c-dc196872c040.htm

    BOL link to detach and attach ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/udb9/html/6732a431-cdef-4f1e-9262-4ac3b77c275e.htm

  • I believe you can use the aspnet_regsql.exe utility to create a membership database or add the neccessary objects to an existing database.
