I am having trouble getting data moved from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 standard.

1. Is there a “server copy” in 2005 like in 2000 to copy all objects between servers?
2. Since I have not found the same server copy wizard in 2005 I have been trying to use the copy database wizard but I am still having trouble. Trying one database at a time and only copying the logins associated with this database. It will copy the db and the login but I am getting this error;

OnError,HOST2,NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM,HOST1_HOST2_Transfer Objects Task,{36D4B9AE-DF3F-44BA-82B2-13B7FA680EAE},{0E8500FF-505B-4FCD-9ABD-C4989DAB31F0},6/24/2006 8:10:06 PM,6/24/2006 8:10:06 PM,0,0x,ERROR : errorCode=-1073548784 description=Executing the query "EXEC dbo.sp_grantdbaccess @loginame = N'ASMSWebAdmin', @name_in_db = N'ASMSWebAdmin'
" failed with the following error: "'ASMSWebAdmin' is not a valid login or you do not have permission.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.

I can go back and set the user as the owner but I still have to reset the password because it is not correct when I test it. This is happening on any of the databases that I tried to copy over. I am using the “sa” user to login on both machines so I should have permission to do this.

Any one out there have any suggestions?

3. How come it looks to be using NT AUTHORITY instead of the sa account?

Thanks

Would taking a Backup from the SQL2000 server and restoring it on SQL2005 be any good to you?

Only if it will copy the logins for the databases, there is a login/owner for each db and there are about 100 of them. That is why I was looking for the DTS package to copy all the db's at one time unless there is another way to do this?

Thanks

You could reinstate them from the restored database, but the passwords would be lost.

It is possible to script them from SQL 2000, but I don't know if that script will work on SQL 2005, more details here:
