Possible to restrict which dbs are shown in Management Studio...

Hi,
I'm migrating a load of databases from a SQL 2000 server to SQL 2005 and was
wondering if anyone knew how to restrict the list of databases that users
see when they connect using the Management Studio to only those that they
have access to? This was done in SQL 2000 by using the following:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/889696
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks - Joe.In 2005, you have meta-data security built-in. By default, a user can't even
see the existence of an
object they don't have permissions to use. Database is the one exception tho
ugh, but you can handle
that through the VIEW DEFINITION permission.
