Hi,

I am doing a migration from a SQL Server 2000 instance to SQL Server 2005 instance. Could anyone tell me what all database objects in the system databases (Master, Model, Msdb and Tempdb)should be migrated to SQL Server 2005 instance?

Thank You,

Yours

If you UPGRADE your SQL Server instance, the install program will do the migration for you.

Hi Peso,

Thank you very much for your reply.

But I am not doing an in-place upgrade. I am doing a side by side migration i.e my SQL Server 2005 instance lies on a seperate machine ?

Thank you,

Best Regards,

logins are held in master.
jobs are held in msdb
You'll have to do something with dts packages and if you've made the mistake of holding them in the server they will be in msdb.
linked servers.


==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

Hi NR,

Thank you very much for your reply. I am using the stored procedure sp_help_rev_login to transfer the logins and I am scripting the jobs and Linked Servers to transfer them to SS2005 instance.I am using DTS Xchange to transfer the DTS packages to the new server.

But apart from transfering the Master Stored Procedures should we transfer any other system database objects?

Thank you,
