There is another problem I found out that after running the scirpt the system is not accessible it says users does not exists what I found that it is looking now in SQL server database users name as case senstive whereas both sql 2000 (source db) and sql 2005 (target) db are configure using the same collation and locale.

But when you run the script this problem is arising like If I wanted to access the user I have to give UPPER CASE. because sql 2005 now using case sensitive users name. Password field is okay.
