Hi,

You have to migrate the system databases too, specifically Master and MSDB
databases. As soon as you restore the Master and MSDB all your
Logins, DTS packages , parameters , ... will be transferred automatically to
new server. FYI , all DTS packages wil be in MSDB database.

>From the Andrews post, to copy the User and system databases use the below
