    This doesnt move any roles but it will get all the windows and SQL logins including the SQL users passwords, roles should be pretty easy for you to figure out 😉

    USE DATABASE

    GO

    select'CREATE LOGIN ' + sl.name +

    ' WITH PASSWORD = ' + sys.fn_varbintohexstr(sl.password_hash) +

    ' HASHED, SID = ' + sys.fn_varbintohexstr(sl.sid) +

    ', DEFAULT_DATABASE = ' + quotename(sl.default_database_name) +

    ', DEFAULT_LANGUAGE = ' + sl.default_language_name +

    ', CHECK_EXPIRATION = ' +

    case

    when sl.is_expiration_checked = 0 then 'off'

    else 'on'

    end + ', CHECK_POLICY = ' +

    case

    when sl.is_policy_checked = 0 then 'off'

    else 'on'

    end

    from sys.sql_logins sl

    where exists (select sid from sys.database_principals dp

    where dp.sid = sl.sid) and sl.principal_id > 4

    UNION ALL

    select'CREATE LOGIN ' + QUOTENAME(sp.name) +

    ' FROM WINDOWS WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE = ' +

    quotename(sp.default_database_name) + ', DEFAULT_LANGUAGE = ' +

    sp.default_language_name

    from sys.server_principals sp

    where exists (select sid from sys.database_principals dp

    where dp.sid = sp.sid) AND sp.principal_id > 4 AND sp.type IN ('G','U')
