RE: Do Windows Authentication SQL 2k5 Logins survive a sysprep?

Hi, Bulent,
A DBA does not need to fix the users if he only wants to restore a database
to a new server.
Your thinking is right. Logins are associated to users by the security
identifier (SID), and if the SID is inconsistent after you move a database,
SQL Server may deny the user access to the database. At this time, you may
need to run the stored procedure sp_change_users_login to map the user and
login. Also there is a tool Mapsids.exe which can help you map SIDs between
user and master database when database is moved.
Please refer to:
How to move databases between computers that are running SQL Server
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=314546
How to resolve permission issues when you move a database between servers
that are running SQL Server
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/240872/

Please feel free to let me know if you have any other questions or
concerns. Have a good day!

Best regards,
Charles Wang
