login probs after restore

sql2k sp3
About once a month Im asked to take a backup from
production and restore it in a development environment.
(these are in the same domain) After the restore, I can
see the users in the db, but those users cant see the db
from tools like Query Analyzer. I have to actually drop/
recreate the users from the db and then reset the perms to
get them going. Not a big deal for me, but there has got
to be a better way? Any ideas?
TIA, ChrisR
Hi,
Yes, the better way is to execute "sp_change_users_login" procedure from the
restored database.
See the details of sp_change_users_login procedure in books online.
Thanks
