Thanks. We'll let you know when a new response is added.

SQL 2005 has a tool called SSIS Import/Export wizard that will allow you to import and export your users quickly and pain free.

This is how to start the Import/Export wizard in the Business Intelligence Development Studio. You need to start up the studio tool and open an Integrated Services project. Once you have done this, there are two methods to start the Import / Export Wizard. The first method is to click on the “Project” menu, and then select the “SSIS Import and Export Wizard…”

The SSIS wizard is self explanatory but if its not here is a link to more details.

You can also just take a backup and restore of the database, or detach the database, move the mdf and ldf files and then attach the database on the new instance. As for logins, you can use Microwfot provided sps to handle this and when you move the login it will have the same SID and password that it did on the original instance. Very easy to use...
