transfer of login users

  • hello guys, i just want to ask how to transfer all users from old sql server to new sql server.

  • Hi

    One of the ways to do it would be to script the logins&users from the old server and run the script in the new server.

  • First, please post in the appropriate forum for your version. I'll move this to the 2005 forums for now.

    Second, search for sp_help_revlogin and you can use that to move logins. Logins are at the server level. Users are per database. To move them, you can easily script them out.

  • i never had a chance to test the script and was always afraid to run it for real at 2am. so we always did it manually.

    to speed things up i have a pre-made script with sp_something userslogin to map a login back to a db user for every login we have in existance.

    copy and paste from a spreadsheet into sql, than run the script for each login and i'm done
