  • Don't use the database migration wizard. That's a really long way.

    Take a backup of the SQL 2000 database and restore it on 2005. Once you're restored, rebuild all indexes and run a checkDB. You'll also have to migrate the logins across. SSIS's transfer logins should do that, just make sure that you copy the SID across or all the users will be orphaned.

  • Hi - I'm having a similar problem. I'm trying to restore a sql2000 master db to a sql2005 installation on a totally different machine. What is the correct procedure? Both the sql2000 and sql2005 are on MS cluster. I start SQL 2005 in single user mode (sqlservr.exe -c -m) then try to restore the .bak of the sql2000 master db that I have. I get an error message that says "....the backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'master' database." Can you please advise me? Thanks.

  • You can't restore a backup of a system database (master, msdb, model) that was made in SQL 2000. See "Copying Databases with Backup and Restore" in BOL.
