Copying Database from 2000Server Machine To 2003 Server Machine

Hi All;

We are going to change our application server. We will copy all of our
Database from Mic 2000 Server OS to Mic 2003 Server OS. I found an
article that how to move all the folders from same OS. My question is
that Would the 2003 OS be a problem when we copy all of the MC SQL 2000
folders to New OS ? Has anybody done this before? Could you gimme your
suggestions please?

Thanks

ASAHi

You can copy the user databases(first detach them and then re-attach them at
destination (sp_attachdb), but you can not copy the EXE's and binaries. You
need to run an install on the new server. SQL Server is not just about
files, it involves registry entries and updates to MDAC etc.

Copy SQL Users from a server to another

Hi,
We are using a SQL 2000 Std Server on a Windows 2000
Server. I just install a new Server running with Windows
2003 Standart and i installed SQL 2000 Std on it.
When i go into Enterprise Manager, On Security folder and
Logins tabs, i saw all the users that needs access to wich
DB etc.
I want to copy all this security information to my new SQL
Server... how did i do that?

But after i follow the instruction on this web site i got
an "Unspecified error" while running the task. But all my
users seems to have been copied...
Someone know why i get this error?
