How to Synchronize SQL Server Login SIDs

Hi everyone...

On two instances of SQL Server 2005 I am using the same SQL login names, but the SID is different for each one. I would like to synchronize these IDs so that when I restore the production database to the developement database I don't have to remove and re-add the logins.

Is there a quick and easy way to do this?

Thanks,

Forch

You can create a login with the same SID on the second server using the SDI = sid option on CREATE LOGIN DDL (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189751.aspx).
