I restored a sql 2005 dB to sql 2008 R2 and after the restore was done I now have all the users from the 2005 dB in sysusers and none of them exist in the syslogins table.
sp_change_users_login does not work to fix this issue since all of the orphaned users are windows users.
I have not been able to find an easy way to fix this yet. I read that the best way is to delete the login and recreate it. I'd rather not mess with that, but if it is the only way then I'll move forward.
Any help would be appreciated and thank you much in advance.

on the SQL2005 server, you'll want to download and use Microsofts sp_help_rev_login, which scripts out the logins on the other server.
then run the results on the 2008 server.
once the windows login exists in the master db , you should be all set for the users that are already in the resotred db's; they should work after that.

I found that and tried it - no such luck. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918992
master..sysxlogins does not exist - syslogins does of course, but the scripts as is does not work.
What I did find out though is this.
- When the dB was restored the schema was set to the user name.
- I tried to add the user to the master right after and it did not work.
- I changed the schema to dbo
- Forgot to check if I could add the users at this point
- I can now add users to master and they automatically link to the correct dB.
Thanks for the help 🙂

there are like three different versions of sp_help_rev_login...one for 2000, and two others for 2005/2008 i believe.
you have to use the one specific to what you are exporting from.
this is the version I have for 2005, and it works fine when i tested it:
