Search the forums here for sp_help_revlogin. We use it to transfer logins between two 2000 servers. It may work for you for 6.5 to 2000. If not, use DTS transfer logins option. And if you just want to change the default databases, then use sp_defaultdb.

Tara,
Thanks for your reply. If i use DTS should they carry passwords along with logins? I need to transfer passwords aswell.

Friends, I also ended up with similar requirement, In my case I need to do login syschronization between Primary server and Secondary Server.

It seems DTS - Transfer Logins Task will not transfer SIDs,

I need to Synchronize logins with same SIDS which are in Primary server. This process should be automatic., whenever a login ID was created in Primary, It should be automatically created in secondary

I too need this as an urgent.,

Could you people please jump in and share your thoughts

Thanks in advance

Dinesh

Search the forums for sp_help_revlogin. It does what you are asking except it isn't automatic. I'm sure you can make it automatic with dynamic sql though.

Drop them from the source. Then run DTS utility. This is for Ricky's scenario.

sp_defaultdb will change the default database for the users, if it's synchronizing the logins, sp_change_users_login
