Script: Drop / identify all orphaned users from all databases - MSSQL

Sometimes when importing / recovering from backups onto another MSSQL server instance you will encounter orphaned users - the following script (full source mentioned at the bottom) allows you to identify all orphaned users:

/*************************
*
* Script written by Dale Kelly 11/23/2011
* Revision 1.0
* Purpose: This script searches all databases for orphaned users
* and displays a list. If desired the orphaned users can be deleted
*
***********************/
Use master
Go
Create Table #Orphans 
 (
  RowID     int not null primary key identity(1,1) ,
  TDBName varchar (100),
  UserName varchar (100),
  UserSid varbinary(85)
 )
SET NOCOUNT ON 
 DECLARE @DBName sysname, @Qry nvarchar(4000)
 SET @Qry = ''
 SET @DBName = ''
 WHILE @DBName IS NOT NULL
 BEGIN
   SET @DBName = 
     (
  SELECT MIN(name) 
   FROM master..sysdatabases 
   WHERE
   /** to exclude named databases add them to the Not In clause **/
   name NOT IN 
     (
      'model', 'msdb', 
      'distribution'
     ) And 
     DATABASEPROPERTY(name, 'IsOffline') = 0 
     AND DATABASEPROPERTY(name, 'IsSuspect') = 0 
     AND name > @DBName
      )
   IF @DBName IS NULL BREAK
         
                Set @Qry = 'select ''' + @DBName + ''' as DBName, name AS UserName, 
                sid AS UserSID from [' + @DBName + ']..sysusers 
                where issqluser = 1 and (sid is not null and sid <> 0x0) 
                and suser_sname(sid) is null order by name'
 Insert into #Orphans Exec (@Qry)
 
 End
Select * from #Orphans
/** To drop orphans uncomment this section 
Declare @SQL as varchar (200)
Declare @DDBName varchar (100)
Declare @Orphanname varchar (100)
Declare @DBSysSchema varchar (100)
Declare @From int
Declare @To int
Select @From = 0, @To = @@ROWCOUNT 
from #Orphans
--Print @From
--Print @To
While @From < @To
 Begin
  Set @From = @From + 1
  
  Select @DDBName = TDBName, @Orphanname = UserName from #Orphans
   Where RowID = @From
      
   Set @DBSysSchema = '[' + @DDBName + ']' + '.[sys].[schemas]'
   print @DBsysSchema
   Print @DDBname
   Print @Orphanname
   set @SQL = 'If Exists (Select * from ' + @DBSysSchema 
                          + ' where name = ''' + @Orphanname + ''')
    Begin
     Use ' + @DDBName 
                                        + ' Drop Schema [' + @Orphanname + ']
    End'
   print @SQL
   Exec (@SQL)
     
    Begin Try
     Set @SQL = 'Use ' + @DDBName 
                                        + ' Drop User [' + @Orphanname + ']'
     Exec (@SQL)
    End Try
    Begin Catch
    End Catch
   
 End
**/
 
Drop table #Orphans

In order to actually drop the orphaned users - simply uncomment the bottom section of the script.
