Copying jobs to a new server.

We are moving SQL Server (2000) to a bigger dedicated server.
Is there a faster way to move all the jobs than creating a script for each
one and then running that script in query analyzer?
TIA
MikeThere is a "Transfer Jobs" Task in DTS That will do that for you.

There are 2 more options:-
1.
You can generate the script for all jobs ( Enterprise manager -- Right click
on the jobs
node in SQl Agent -- Jobs| All tasks| Generate sql script, Save it as file).
Run this
script in the destination server.
2.
Jobs, operators , Alerts ,...are stored in msdb database.If the destination
server
is a new one and if you do not have any existing stuffs in msdb , you can
even restore a msdb backup from the source server.

Thanks
