Exactly what in SSMS did you intend to use? The Copy Database Wizard can
do this for you, although "reliable" is not really the association I make
when I think of CDW. Then again, the attach/detach method appears to work;
it's the SMO method which is buggy.

Personally, I would recommand using sp_detach_db and CREATE DATABASE FOR
ATTACH, rather than trying to second-guess GUI:s.
