Briefcase

This script was designed to restore a backup of a SQL Server 2000 database from disk file to SQL Server 2005.

Unfortunatelly the RESTORE will leave land mines for you to find the hard way, this script was updated to fix all that I have found:

Change CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL ON, PAGE_VERIFY CHECKSUM, Compatibility level to 90, remove the database role and user schema creation, and reassign the user's schema to dbo.

Like the ealier RestoreDB script posted here, this version will handle multiple DB files, move the files to new location, with new database name that is customized for the date of the backup, create any missing logins, and fix any user accounts that are orphaned by differing SIDs from the other server.
