Hi,

Quick question, I have about 20 users in my local server and database. We
are looking to restore that database to a new server in a new network and
still be able to retain the database users.

We have created all 20 logins in the new server (exact names) but when we
restore the database I do not see the users anymore!

Is there something we can do to preserve them or a script we can run to link
them again?

Thanks a bunch!!!

sp_change_users_login is probably what you need.

You can run the following script to generate a create script for all
of your users. It will generate a create statement for each login
using the encrypted password and SID. Replace "MY_DB" in the script
with your database name, then run the script against your source
database. Copy the output of the script to your destination server and
run it. Then, when you restore your database, your users will
automatically be synched with their logins. Hope this helps!
