Hi, I have a customer that is planning on moving to new hardware and performing a SQL upgrade (2000->2005).  I know that our application (FileNet Image Services) is sensitive to what we refer to as an "orphaned" database.  Our app stops working if a database is simply detached/attached to another server because it loses that link between the users in the database and the users in SQL Security.  Once that happens, that users cannot simply be recreated in Security-Logins.  Because of internal IDs the users no longer match and our app stops working.

Any ideas to get around this?

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

Google for sp_help_revlogin which will allow you to script out the logins with the SIDs so that when you create the logins on the new server the SIDs will match. You should also look at sp_change_users_login, which will reassign logins to users after moving the database to another server.
