migrating sharepoint: trying to transfer the logins between SQL 2005 and receiving ddl statement issues

Hi,

I am moving a WSS 3.0 install to a new SBS 2008 server (sql2005) from Windows 2K3/sql2005 environment.  I backed up and restored the databases easily.  I need to transfer the logins now and began working through the steps in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918992/.  However, it appears that the WSS database will not allow me to alter/change it and, as a result, I cannot saved the stored procedures that allow me to transfer the logins.  Whenever I try to run the query, I get the following response:

Msg 33003, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_hexadecimal, Line 27
DDL statement is not allowed.
Msg 33003, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_help_revlogin, Line 97
DDL statement is not allowed.

I need to get WSS 3.0 running on the new server. Help!

thanks for the info.  I'm giving it a try, but because I'm working with the MICROSOFT##SSEE database, there seems to be no way to allow remote connections.  My thinking is that this may work, do you see any issues?

1) create a tempdb on serverA and use SSIS to transfer logins to DB that allows remote connections.
2) connect to tempdb from serverB and use SSIS to transfer logins to new MICROSOFT##SSEE that houses SharePoint.

I think this could work since the problem seems to be that I do not have the rights I need or the ability to remotely connect to the MICROSOFT##SSEE database.  If you know of a workaround that will either allow me to save a stored proc or connect remotely to this db, please let me know.

this ended up being an issue where we got Microsoft involved and spent 15+ hours resolving the problem (corruption in SQL DB).

thanks for the help.  your info is correct, it just ended up being an entirely different problem with corruption of the db.
As kmt333 commented you are unable to allow remote connections on the WID (Windows Internal Database). However...

It seems, in most cases, that the database has been created by using the "Administrator" account, which will be disabled afterwards.

So when you change the password for the "Administrator" account, enable the account and logon use that account you are able to grant all the rights needed to a more appropriate account.

Afterwards you are able by using a named pipes connection to alter the connections to the database. Also you may elevate your own right to for example sysadmin.

Maybe this could be helpful..

P.S. DO NOT FORGET to disable de Administrator account afterwards
