Changing physical SQL Server

Hello all,

We are in the process of upgrading our SQL physical server (with SS2k). In
the process we will change the OS form NT4 to W2K. What is the best way to
copy all my databases and SQL logins, roles, jobs, alerts, etc. from my
actual (old) SQL Server to my new one?

Thanks for your time.

Transfer databases: backup and restore the Dbs on the new server. This
should copy the permissions and roles. (I recommend ftp'ing the backup
files from one server to another. I learned this the hard way.)

Transfer jobs & alerts: I don't know an easy way. I used EM to
generate sql scripts for each one and then ran them on the new server.|||Thanks for that Louis.

Yannick
