Scripting groups & permissions from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005

I have an upgrade project that involves installing Microsoft SQL 2005 I have several Microsoft SQL 2000 database that I have backup and restored to a Microsoft SQL 2005 database and am concerned that the groups & permissions will not carry over properly. Some permissions are set with Windows domain authenticification and others are set individually on the server.

Is there a method to script out restore groups/permissions to the new server?

Thanks in advance for any answers or suggestions.

You need to transfer the logins from the old server to the new. This KB article describes a pretty good process: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/246133.

After that the restore will bring over all the permissions included in the database. As long as the logins are created using the same SID as on the old server the user and login will match up. The KB article describes how to do this.
