deploying SQL server applications to another machine

Hi -
Let me start off by saying that I am a complete SQL server newbie.
I work with a system that uses SQL Server 2005 as it's backbone DB
running on W2K3 server. This system is going to be installed onto
customer servers, also running W2K3 server. Question is; is there a
way to deploy all aspects of JUST THE DB (tables, stored procedures,
security, users, etc...) to the customers servers without having to do
a full up install of SQL Server 2005 on every server that will host a
database?
Thanks
You need some process to read and interact with the database files. The only such process I know of
is ... SQL Server. Now, that can be Express edition, but it need to be some version of SQL Server...
