Logins don''t work after restoring on a different server
-
I completed a backup of several SQL 2000 db and then completed the restores(with overwrite existing db option) on a different SQL 2000 server. That went off without a hitch. The only problem I have now is the logins dont work.
I have tried running EXEC sp_change_users_login 'Report', and the logins appear. However, when I run EXEC sp_helplogins 'john', the results are empty.
So, I am guessing all I need is a sp that will re-associate my logins with the correct db and grant the appropriate permissions.
If anyone has any ideas that would be great.
PS. Tried using sp_change_users with no luck (but it's probably me as I am new to DBA work).

Wish I could tell you where I acquired this script in order to give the genius acknowledgement...it may have been from this site.
