However I am having the (probably asked often enough) question to ask you :

Being that I cannot restore the MSDB database over the Windows 2000 database, hense I cannot massively have my DTS's onto the 2K machine, (there are close to 60DTS),is there any other way,
rather than just manually saving them over that server ?

Thank you in advance for your help

I always oprefer to run dts packages from files the there's no problem with releasing packages and copying them to other servers.
In msdb the packages are stored in sysdtspackages and you can just copy the rows from one server to another.


==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
