rebuild order, logins or db's?

  • I have to downgrade a sql server 2005 cluster from Enterprise to Standard Edition. My plan was to script out logins, detach the db's, remove sql server. Install sql server and build sql server cluster. Then the ?, should I add the logins back first or attach the db's first. All the logins are windows based, but one of them owns 2 of the database I will be attaching.

  • You can attach the database first and run the script for the logins to recreate them.

    Thanks,

  • To second the advice given:

    Reattach the database first and then add the logins. I have encountered less problems that way.
