Again, the order of events that you should have completed prior to running this is as follows:
1. you have restored the backup to your destination server
2. You haven't messed with, played with, altered in any way the logins/users on the destination server(don't even think about).
Here they are:
1. Run this on the 2005 server you want to transfer the logins/users FROM

2. Execute the above compiled SPROC. (you must be connected to the master database)
EXEC sp_help_revlogin
go
3. COPY THE RESULTS from above SPROC
Copy results from the sp_help_revlogin and run them in the MASTER database in the destination server.
All done! You will want to
Look through the script and take out the usernames that you don't want to transfer across.. For example,
it will have you administrator accounts in there or something
Now, you might have to reassign the default database for these users.
If you want to do this, see this post.
