I don't disagree, I built this script about 3 years ago..

SELECT Cmd = 'CREATE LOGIN ['

+ name

+ '] WITH PASSWORD = '

+ CONVERT( varchar(255), password_hash, 1 )

+ ' HASHED, SID = '

+ CONVERT( varchar(255), sid, 1 )

+ ', DEFAULT_DATABASE = ['

+ default_database_name

+ '], CHECK_EXPIRATION = '

+ CASE is_expiration_checked WHEN 1 THEN 'ON, ' ELSE 'OFF, ' END

+ 'CHECK_POLICY = '

+ CASE is_policy_checked WHEN 1 THEN 'ON;' ELSE 'OFF;' END

FROM sys.sql_logins

WHERE type = 'S'

AND name NOT IN ( 'sa', '##MS_PolicyTsqlExecutionLogin##' )

AND is_disabled = 0

UNION ALL

SELECT Cmd = 'CREATE LOGIN ['

+ name

+ '] FROM WINDOWS WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE = ['

+ default_database_name

+ ']; '

FROM sys.server_principals

WHERE type IN ( 'U', 'G' )

AND name NOT IN ( 'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM', 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE', 'NT SERVICE\MSSQLSERVER', 'NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT' )

AND is_disabled = 0

--ORDER BY name

GO

It could probably use some gussying up but it worked for what I needed to get the logins out..
