Question : Granting access to a DB and DB Role for a group of users

I am moving a database from a SQL 2000 server to a new SQL 2005 server.  I ran a script that created all of the logins in security/logins on the 2005 server and retained the passwords.  What I don't have however is access to the database on the new server.  The database on the new server has a Database role called 'Elite'.  Essentially, I need to find a scripted way of granting the over 2000 objects in security/logins access to a database called 'son_db'...as well as give them access to the role called 'Elite' in that database.  

I came up with the following, but so far it's not working....I may be on the wrong track here so I'd appreciate any help that could be provided!


USE son_db
Select [Name] INTO UserList From Master..SysLogins
GO

DECLARE aCURSOR Cursor
FOR
Select Name From UserList

Open aCursor

DECLARE @Name NVarChar(20)
While (@@FETCH_STATUS <> -1)
BEGIN

Fetch NEXT FROM aCursor INTO @Name

EXEC sp_grantdbaccess 'son_db', @Name
EXEC sp_addRoleMember 'Elite', @Name

END
CLOSE aCURSOR
DEALLOCATE aCURSOR
GO
Drop Table UserList
GO

Answer : Granting access to a DB and DB Role for a group of users

This script:

Select 'EXEC sp_grantdbaccess ''' + [Name]  + '''' From master..syslogins
Select 'EXEC sp_AddRoleMember ''Elite'',''' + [Name]  + '''' From master..syslogins


does one thing: it outputs a script which you have to in turn run, is that what you're doing? You need the run that script, then copy the results and run ~that~.

Running the script above just outputs a load of rows that you need to copy and paste into another window and run.
