  • I guess you have to create the server logins explicitly on 2005 (once you move your db). Users would be there at database level.

  • Follow the instructions in this kb article for tranferring logins and passwords between different versions: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/246133.

    After transferring the logins and restoring the databases, you may need to resolve ophaned users since the logins may have different sids in the new instance. Use sp_change_users_login to resolve these.

  • Slightly off topic:

    would you mind stop qualifying your requests as "very urgent" or "urgent"? (Seems like it became a habit...)

    If you ar requested to migrate a db from SS2K to SS2K5 it would save a lot of trouble if you would prepare yourself before you start, not as you go....

    That would also prevent marking your requests as "urgent".

    Btw: There are some people around that tend to ignore "urgent" requests. And there are more each day.
