  • Hi,

    Use management studio (2008), connect to your 2000 instance, expand sql agent, right click on a job, Script job as>Create to> File or new query editor window.

    Use the generated code and run it on your SQL 2008 and the job is created.

    If you have thousands of jobs maybe this isn't the best solution.

  • If you have thousands of jobs just click on the Jobs node in Object Explorer and press F7 to open the Object Explorer Details. Then highlight all the jobs you want to script, right-click and script the jobs to a single query window or file.
