ms sql server

Right now I'm really not liking SQL server 2000. Just trying to migrate from one server to the other, and it refuses to move the user logins properly, so they can't bind to the database. After 2 hours of fiddling with scripts, wizards, and bloody copying the files, if this last trick doesn't work, I'm gonna recommend we put off moving off of the 7.0 server for at least a week, if not more, while reconfigure the whole DB for a new userlogin.

Which will delay fixing the mail system (the old 7.0 server will be reformatted and have Exchange put on it). The current mail system (an IMAP sync program for Outlook) appears to be rather unstable, so we need off of that ASAP. Arghh....
