sp_help_revlogin - 'LOGINPROPERTY' is not a recognized function name.

The Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 246133 - How to transfer logins and passwords between instances of SQL Server details how to create the Stored Procedure sp_help_revlogin.  This stored procedure is used to transfer logins from one SQL Server instance to another.  However the latest revision of this article has been modified for SQL Server 2005 and is unable to be run on SQL Sever 2000 without modification.

When the code in the article is run to create the sp_help_revlogin Stored Procedure on SQL Server 2000 the following error occurs:

Server: Msg 195, Level 15, State 10, Procedure sp_help_revlogin, Line 52
'LOGINPROPERTY' is not a recognized function name.

Below is a copy of the code for sp_help_revlogin Stored Procedure that will execute on SQL server 2000.  This code is from an archived version of the Knowledge Base Article.
