Other than fixing by hand, is there any way to retain values and identities when DTS'ing from 1 SQL server to another? I know I could create a script to do it or continue to fix it by hand. I'm asking more in line of why it does this.

What is your DTS package doing? I don't know what you mean that DTS is dropping the identities and values. DTS will do whatever you tell it to do. Please explain further.

It happens when you copy tables and views when using import/export wizard.

Do you mean that the table structure isn't the same? That's because it just creates the base table. If you want them to be the same, you'll need to generate the script, then create the table on the other server, then transfer the data.
