  • Here's a thread from the other day with some of what you're looking for. Have you searched around much ?

    http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1156166-146-1.aspx

  • sp_help_revlogin << search MSDN KB for this for logins.

    Getting all orphans back up... try this (I use something like it I modded from a Pinal Dave Blog, in a different way - modded a bit in case you can use):

    (edit because I realized this had a bug in it and wanted to correct, sorry to re-awaken but if people are searching this I might as well make it right - also, could run into collation conflict for certain databases where I didn't set any explicit collation preferences in this version of the script)

    master..sp_msforeachdb

    'if db_id(''?'') > 4

    begin

    declare @table table

    (pkey int identity(1,1),

    username varchar(50),

    schemaname varchar(50))

    declare@name varchar(50),

    @max-2 int,

    @current int

    set @current = 1

    insert @table

    SELECT us.name, isnull(sc.name,''dbo'')

    FROM [?].dbo.sysusers as us

    left join sys.schemas as sc on sc.name = us.name

    join sys.syslogins on us.name = loginname

    WHERE issqluser = 1

    AND (us.sid IS NOT NULL

    AND us.sid <> 0x0)

    AND SUSER_SNAME(us.sid) IS NULL

    ORDER BY us.name

    select @max-2 = @@rowcount

    while @current <= @max-2

    begin

    select @name = [username] from @table where pkey = @current

    --EXEC sp_change_users_login ''update_one'',@name,@name /*disabled for testing needs but this commented out command*/

    select ''update_one'',@name,@name,''[?]''

    set @current = @current + 1

    end

    end';
