sql server dts : copy sql database problems

hi!

i'm trying to copy a database from one server to another. but still
problems persist. here are the details of my servers.

Server A (source)
OS - Windows 2000 Advanced Server
SQL - SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition, Service Pack 4

Server B (destination)
OS - Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition
SQL - SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition, Service Pack 4

note: both are in the same domain.

i tried the import/export data. though it has no error messages, but
still it only copies the tables and not the stored procedures and the
views.
then, i tried the copy database wizard. then it generated this error:
"failed to create the share omwwizd".
should the two servers must have the same operating system so that the
copy database wizard would be successful? is there any way that i could
copy the complete database from Server A to Server B?

thanks.

Hi,

SQL Server startup account should have write access in tghe destination
server. My recommendation is :-

1. Backup the database in source server
2. COpy the back file to destination server
3. Restore the database in destination server

This will be faster.

Thanks
Hari

Try Backup and Restore.
