    How can I delete a bunch of users at the same time from sys.sysusers table in SQL Server 20005 users database?

    i think your stuck with simply generating the statements as a batch, and then running them:

    like this:

    select'exec sp_dropuser '''+ name + '''' as SQLSTMT, * from sys.sysusers where uid > 3 and uid < 16000

    --or

    select'exec sp_droplogin '''+ name + '''' as SQLSTMT, * from sys.sysusers where uid > 6 and uid < 16000

    - I think you should post in sql2005 (sys.sysusers)

    - be carefull with users being actual dbowner !

    - be carefull with users owning objects in databases

    - Indeed you need to handle the db-users and the serverlogins separatly.

    Generate your statements !

    Yes.. The above mentioned answers are right. But ensure to have the backup of sysusers table before truncating and adding the values. Take a script of the table and run through the process.
