Dave writes "I am moving a DB from one SQL Server to another by simply restoring a backup copy from the old server to the new server. However, I need to bring over the Users and Roles created on the old SQL Server to the new one. What is the best method to do this?

Thanks,

Users and roles come across with the backup.

Are you referring to the logins? If so, you can transfer those with sp_helprevlogin. After that, you just need to unorphan the accounts with sp_change_users_login.
