Get the SQL Server Logins ( ORPHAN Users) Best Script

We do have a requirement for server migration. Following Script can help DBA to generate a Script for existing SQL Server logins.

The Output of this script can be executed on another server, which will create all the logins, which were there in old server (where this Script was executed)

SCRIPT to generate SQL Server Logins

-- ***********************************************************************************/
-- Description  :    Script to create SQL Server logins 
--                        This Script will create SQL syntax for re-creating existing SQL Server Logins. The OUTPUT of this script will be a TSQL statement, which can used to recreate the logins.
--                            We can also use use this script to transfer logins from one SQL instance to another instance
-- Compatibility  :     2005+
