Was not thinking today and forgot to script my users in my sql server 2005 database after I uninstalled the db.

Here is what happened. I backed up all my databases including sysem databases and uninstalled sql 2005. I then took those backups and restored on another server. I now need a way to retrieve all those users. Can I restore the master to do this? The db is for development only.

thanks.

Will have to be restored to a SQL2005 server. But then you can script the names. Install a copy of SQL on a test box, do your restore, script the users and uninstall SQL if needed.
