    Very good article (above) for moving Databases (and user Schema) between SQL Servers. I use the sp_help_revlogin script all the time to document (and move) users from Server to Server. the output of the sp_help_revlogin script can be used to recreate Logins with the same SID and password on another Server.

    I know that doesn't address your entire question - but I hope it helps a little.

  • The references above are great. I wouldn't move master, just move the databases and use sp_help_revlogin to get the logins. You might need to use sp_change_users_login to synch them up once you're done.
