  • Script jobs in Enterprise Manager and run the script in SQL 2005.

    Save DTS packages as files and open them in SQL 2005 Management Studio - Management - Legacy - Data Transformation Services.  You have to download and install the SQL 2000 DTS runtime (available from MS download page)first.

    Script linked server with this script: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/scripts/viewscript.asp?scriptid=620 and run the script in SQL 2005.

  • This is a good link...but the remote login password works only on SQL 7.0 ... any link to a script for decrypting or scripting remote login passwords from 2000 linked servers....

     

    thanks in advance

  • It worked for me when I scripted linked servers on a SQL 2000 instance and created them on a SQL 2005 instance.  Keep in mind that you can't find a password for a domain login, only for SQL Server logins.

  • Thanks Greg, I was wondering if I can migrate linked server logins to Oracle databases ? did u migrate links to oracle DBs ?

  • I have a couple of linked server pointing to Oracle Databases, I tried migrating those using the script. But, it did not work, any ideas how can we script these passwords out ?

     

    Thanks

  • Sorry, I don't have any Oracle databases.  Hopefully, someone who does will see this thread.
