What about a simple backup and restore? Or are you trying to build some sort of deployment mechanism?Backup and restore would be my first inclination for users databases. However, if they are moving from SQL 2K to SQL 2K8, there are some other nuances to be addressed (dts, ssis, jobs) that would be different.
Even if I was moving between 2K & 2K8, I'd do a backup and restore, but, as you say, stuff before and stuff after. Without knowing what's really desired here, it's all just guess work.
It's the stuff before and after that has me concerned. Thus agreed, that it is a bunch of guesswork until the Op returns with more info.
