Hi,

I had to migrate our sql server from msql7 to sql2000
Is there somebody in your team who has experience with this subject??
My questions are:

1) for the databases with the datas can I use the option attach database without other process?
2) how migrate the MSDB database?

Thank you for you help

You really should migrate this way:

1. Script out the users using sp_help_revlogin (you can find it on the site).
2. Script out the jobs.
3. Script out the operators.
4. Save the DTS packages out as files.
5. Backup ALL the databases.
6. Restore the user databases.
7. Use the script from sp_help_revlogin to add the users back in.
8. Add the operators back in.
9. Add the jobs and DTS packages back in.
