you have any SQL-Server-based users in each database, you will need to
make note of their permissions, remove the user (not the login) from the
DB and then add it back with the correct permissions.
There is probably a script to do this, but I found it only takes a few
moments to "fix" the user in each DB.
If you only have domain-based logins, it should not be a problem.

Subject: Re: Server Rebuild Questions
1. I've got a feeling that one version of the installer assumed
your temp directory was c:\Temp, and install fails if you've moved it to
d:\temp or something, so you might want to check that.
2. If the dev server is running then try doing a DTS transfer -
open enterprise manager, right click on "databases" and choose "import".
Otherwise i'd go for restoring from backups - you might be able
to reattach the data files, but its not something i've ever tried.
Similar lack of experiance with migrating accounts and stuff -sorry.
