Transfer logins in SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2008

/*------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Transfer logins in SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2008


In this script we cover sp_help_revlogin stored procedure which can help you copy sql server logins from one server to another server running SQL Server 2008.

This can be useful when you are trying to copy a database from one server (maybe production) to another (development or stage). Remember when you copy a database it does not move the SQL Server Logins which are present at the server level. You have to manually transfer the login accounts from the source ms sql server to target ms sql server.

Using the information here you can easily do this task.

This needs to be run on the source sql server, the one you are copying the logins from

Transfer logins in SQL Server 2005 - Step 2


Run the following script on the source SQL Server. After you execute the SQL, this stored procedure will go ahead and generate the SQL code for your Logins.  You can then copy this SQL code and execute it on the target server.

For our case I am using Northwind sample database. I have included a screen shot of what this looks like on my machine.

--Execute the sql code generated by the previous step on your target (destination) SQL Server, This will copy all the login information to the destination server.


Here is part of the SQL script.
