restore db of 2000 to 2005 logins

I'm not sure why I can't find any info on this issue, because it is blaring.
When backup a 2000 db and restore it on Sql Server 2005, logins are not
created at the server level. And then when I try to create the logins
manually at the server level, I get "login already exists". Then as I've don
e
with db migrations in the past, I battle with deleting logins at the db leve
l
because they are assigned to schemas.
What is the best way to get logins at the db level to the server level?
Thanks.HI Jamesm,
Thank you for using MSDN Managed Newsgroup Support.
From your description, my understanding of this issue is: After you backup
your SQL Server 2000 database to another SQL Server 2005 instance, the
logins didn't created in the Server side and you get the "User or role '%s'
already exists in the current database." error when you want to grant the
permission to the database. If I misunderstood your concern, please feel
free to let me know.
This is an orphaned users scenario. To resolve this issue, please use the
sp_change_users_login system stored procedure.
USE <database_name>;
GO
sp_change_users_login @.Action='update_one',
@.UserNamePattern='<database_user>', @.LoginName='<login_name>';
GO

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=246133
Kind of a mess though. They updated the SQL 2000 article and
code for sp_help_revlogin with the version for 2005 - same
code on Laurentiu's blog.
I don't know where the 2000 version of sp_help_revlogin is
at anymore though.

Just seems very odd they wiped out the 2000 version and
replaced the 2005 code in the 2000 KB article.
Should be two different articles....

Does anyone know if I need to restore the databases before I run this
script, or if its safe to run the script (which migrates all
logins/passwords from my SQL 2000 server), and then restore the
databases at a later date
Thanks in advance,
