Migrating logins to another server

  • We are about to move all of our 2008R2 instances to a new clustered 2 node failover 2012 environment. Can you advise if the following is the best method for migrating logins or is there a better method

  • Pretty much hit the nail on the head with that link.

    sp_help_revlogin is probably the best tool out to do what you need to do.

  • Thank you Anthony

  • Yes, sp_helprevlogin is the best way. It'll create two stored procedures in your master DB.

    Filtering down the logins to extract and putting into a script is easy. Wrote about it here:

    Script SQL Server Logins for Disaster Recovery[/url]

    BTW, as the name of the article implies, this is a good script to run periodically for DR purposes. Run the script through some sort of automation against each of your SQL Servers, extracting the logins, and writing to a location you know will be backed up/replicated.
