There is an article on how to transfer logins from SQL2000 to SQL2000 (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=246133) but I have been unable to find MS documentation specifically addressing how to do this between a SQL2000 server and a SQL2005 server. I need to generate a script to create the logins on the target server because the source server will not be available (i.e. the DTS method will not work). Anybody have experience with using sp_help_revlogin on SQL 2005? Thanks.

Try the following approaches

You can use many approaches:

- Copy Database Wizard

- A SQL 2000 DTS package

- A SQL 2005 SSIS package

You can use transfer logins task in SSIS, it's also available in sql2k.

OR

I have used this script to move logins with password intact between SQL 2000's. I used it from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 and appears to work. Run it once on SQL 2000 box, then on the SQL 2005 box create empty dbs with the same name of the default dbs from the ids. then run the create logins output script.

SET NOCOUNT ON

SELECT 'EXEC sp_addlogin @loginame = ''' + loginname + ''''

,', @defdb = ''' + dbname + ''''

,', @deflanguage = ''' + language + ''''

,', @encryptopt = ''skip_encryption'''

,', @passwd ='

, cast(password AS varbinary(256))

,', @sid ='

, sid

FROM syslogins

WHERE name NOT IN ('sa')

AND isntname = 0

I don't know of a way of doing it with the GUI, but if you'll read the article that you referred to in your post, you will find all you need to transfer logins between different versions of SQL Server (including passing logins from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005).
