I've been saving up a few ideas for blog posts for a while now. Nothing worse than having a blog and noting to say...wait, OK there are worse things but I'm being a bit megalomaniacal right now and am just focusing on the blog, not war or famine.
So. Ran into an issue the other day. We're setting up a new proto-Prod/QUAT environment for our developers to destroy...I mean...use. It's set up nicely with a new VM and new install of SQL, the databases are copied over using SAN replication and then attached to the new server. Wonderful idea and an easy way to get a copy of Prod into a QA/DEV environment, especially when you have a TB of data to move.
Now here comes the fun part. You may have figured this out already, but the new installation doesn't come with the existing production Master (or MSDB) databases. Now we don't need the jobs per-se so we're not as worried about the MSDB, but permissions are a different story. My first thought was 'Oh I can just restore the Master DB from production!'. And then my second though was 'Dumbass, production is SQL 2008 and the new environment is SQL 2012, you can't do that.'
SIDE NOTE:
If you've ever tried to restore or rebuild the Master DB it can be a royal pain (actually, if you've never tried it, you really should. It's gotten easier to do, and much easier to practice this BEFORE you need to know it than try to muddle through it afterwards. Here's a link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190679.aspx. Also practice REBUILDING the system databases in case of disaster: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd207003.aspx)
The new environment is to have new logins, and there's a tangled mess of permissions on Production that need to mapped to these new logins. First thing first is to get the logins over.
'Hey, I can just use SP_Help_Revlogin!'
Easy-peasy right? DOH! It's not on the server. And our approval process for installing anything useful in production is a nightmare worthy of Elm Street (don't get me started!). So I needed a way to use SP_Help_Revlogin without the stored procedure part of it. I needed a stand-alone way to get the logins from one machine to the other. Hence this:

The original script that is floating around out there does a call to sp_hexadecimal. Obviously this won't work if I can't install anything on the server, so I had to make it an inline function. You'll see two comments denoting where the password and SID are converted.
This has been tested on SQL 2008 and SQL 2012.
