I'm trying to create a login in the default domain. I know I can pull
this information from xp_loginconfig, but don't see how I can use it in
the context of sp_grantlogin.
For example, pull the domain the user is currently logged in on and
insert it into the sp_grantlogin script. Has anyone ever done this in
the past?
I have created an asmx web service that deserializes a JSON string and should execute stored procedures in SQL Server Express 2005, the database is a mdf file. I have created a System DSN which works fine, I have allowed the remote connections and TCP/IP and created the firewall exceptions for sqlserver and sqlbrowser. I believe there's an issue with my connection string, I have tried everything and it still won't connect.
I had another running example but that was on a previous install of Windows XP Pro SP1 with login and this asmx web service worked fine. I run Windows XP Pro SP2 without a login now so I guess I can't use Integrated Security=true or Trusted Connection=yes but does anybody know the default login of a database created in Windows Visual Developer Express?
Here's my connection string:
Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory| antanplan.mdf;Integrated Security=SSPI;User Instance=false;UID=sa;PWD=sa"
And here's the error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.

Hi, I'm getting this error ever since I attached my VWD Express database to SQL Server Express. I detached the database after using it and closed SQL Server but as soon as I tried to run my application again in VWD I got... Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user 'xxxxxxxASPNET'. I have tried attaching and detaching the database again in SQL Server with the 'Close Connections' check box ticked but still no joy. I have checked out all other posts on this subject but can't seem to find an answer that works for me. Does SQL Server Express do something to users / permissions when attaching databases? It's all way above my head! My connection string is as follows... <add name="DatabaseConnectionString1" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
Hey,I renamed a database, and it happened to be my default; so I basically screwed myself, because I can't change it through script (doesn't exist or you don't have permissions). What can I do? Thanks.
I have created an app which use sqlserver exrpress and works fine. I have now craeted a authentication page login.aspx. I have added users successfully to the asp.net configuartion via the web site admin tool. When I go to login using my page I get the Cannot open default database.Login failed. Login failed for user servetaspnet.
I have looked at the asonetdb in sql server management studio and the serverasp net is set up on the database.
Can anyone suggeste what I ma doing wrong or where I might see a work through of the problem. Thanks
hi to all, I am new to Sqlserver. in my machine i installed sqlserver2000.i created/registered a new server with sql authentication. but when i connecting it shows the login failed and i am unable to connect my database.after that i edited the server registration information as windows authentication. now it works well. what to do? how to tactic this problem? thanks in advance..
hi: I got the problem, which lots of people might encounter before.
In my case, I use login control and sqlexpress to build a login page. when password & user name were entered. It gave me: "Cannot open user default database, login fails"
The solution given by msdn is: SQL Server 2005You can use the sqlcmd utility to change the default database in SQL Server 2005. To do this, follow these steps: 1.Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then press ENTER. 2.Use one of the following methods, depending on the kind of authentication that the SQL Server login uses: €˘If the SQL Server login uses Microsoft Windows authentication to connect to the instance, type the following at the command prompt, and then press ENTER:sqlcmd €“E -S InstanceName €“d master€˘If the SQL Server login uses SQL Server authentication to connect to the instance, type the following at the command prompt, and then press ENTER: sqlcmd -S InstanceName -d master -U SQLLogin -P PasswordNote InstanceName is a placeholder for the name of the SQL Server 2005 instance to which you are connecting. SQLLogin is a placeholder for the SQL Server login whose default database has been dropped. Password is a placeholder for the SQL Server login password.3.At the sqlcmd prompt, type the following, and then press ENTER: ALTER LOGIN SQLLogin WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE = AvailDBNameNote AvailDBName is a placeholder for the name of the existing database that can be accessed by the SQL Server login in the instance.4.At the sqlcmd prompt, type GO, and then press ENTER.
I wonder what are InstanceName, SQLLogin & AvailDBName. It would be nice if someone can give me a specific example, since I am not sure how to type them in a command line. :)
I'm using Visual C# 2008 Express to connect to the Northwind database in SQL Server 2005 Express. My Visual C# project which worked yesterday now yields an exception on build.
The error message is:
Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'Plesva-PCPlesva'.
The connection string is:
Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataNorthwnd.mdf";Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True
In SQL Server Management Studio Express, I can see that the default database for this Login is master. In the master database, the user mapped to this Login is 'Plesva-PCPlesva'. The database role membership for this Login in master is 'public'.
Does this have something to do with user instances? I'm not familiar with that topic, but have seen a few posts here and elsewhere that alluded to it. I couldn't make heads or tails of what they were talking about.
Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user '[machine name]ASPNET'.I'm working in VS 2005 with a starter kit. I close VS and open an MDF file in SQL Server 2005 Management Studio to modify a table. I attach the file, change a data type, then detach the file. When I go back to VS and try to run the program, I get this error. Everything runs normally before I bring the file into Management Studio. It is not a permissions issue. Does SQL Server put some kind of lock on the file? This must be a fairly common problem. A developer will sometimes want to modify an .mdf file. How does he do that and then run his program? Thank you for any suggestions I can try.
I have installed SQL Server 2005 Express edition and when i try to run the web site as http://127.0.0.1/SiteName/Login.aspx. I am using default SQL Provider.
Can anyoone please help me??? i was struck here from last two days.

I got this application system having SQLExpress as database (ABCSystem.mdf). I'm connecting to the database thru connection string specifying database path in App.config.
At the same time, I got two paths for the mdf files. The first one is the path for my database project while the second one is the path to conduct testing. (This means that I got identical ABCSystem.mdf in two paths)
In my development machine, I can run my application where database path is testing path (number 2).
When I tried to copy the ABCSystem.mdf and ABCSystem_log.LDF and my application program files to another PC to test, I got the subject error message. (note that I copy program files under directory "C:Program FilesCompany ABC LimitedABCSystem" and mdf files under "C:Program FilesCompany ABC LimitedABCSystemDatabase")
I try to edit path from database testing path to database project path in app.config, run the application, and notice that it is running OK.
What seems to cause the problem? Coz I need the database in the testing path which is "C:Program FilesCompany ABC LimitedABCSystemDatabase" AND NOT "C:Program FilesCompany ABCABCDatabaseProject".
Hi when i try and open a database in sql server management studio i get the error "Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'DOMAINUser'. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)", what can i do to rectify this, i have googled around and still havent found no answers.
Hey Microsoft: this affects development that will eventually sell a lot of seats on SharePoint Server 2007. If you guys and gals can't straighten out this mess, you can't expect custom solutions with custom web parts. So pay attention for your own good. Yes, SPS 2007 is what this is all about. I've created simpe web parts and deployed them, same VS 2005, but I need local development and debugging for more complex stuff. I'm really disappointed that you have no solution for this problem.
I've seen other posts on this, but the result seems to be the same: if you fix it, it's by accident, not by design.
1. I created a blank ASP.NET web site
2. I added a web part manager
3. I added a web part zone
I get the error described above. I have no idea why SQL Server settings are so screwed up.
I've tried all the stuff in the other posts - security settings, command line installation, etc. None of those worked.
The default template(s) don't copy anything into App_Data, nor create an empty folder. I don't know why that is. I have other web sites working just fine, but they use remote SQL databases, or local ones I created, and didn't need profile management (no forms authentication, no web parts, no web zones).
I've also started out with a local database, using SQL Authentication, later moving it to a remote server, and never had any problems. The SQL Server developer edition and Express seem to work just fine. I can also debug stored procs when the .mdf is in App_Data. So the problem isn't one of connectivity.
What would cause the default screw-up? This would seem to point from all directions to a problem with Visual Studio (2005)? The installation is defalt - perhaps some extras included (copy local), but nothing unusual. AJAX for ASP.net is installed, but not used in the above "default web site" trial. Likewise Syncfusion's tools, which work fine on other developer workstations at this same location, all of which are from the same image (purchased at the same time & imaged). That web parts work on other boxes, running all the same management tools (anti-virus, remote sys admin/sms etc.) makes none of those suspect.
I think Microsoft needs to have a clean problem solution and publish it. SP1 certainly doesn't fix it. What's worse is the stupid, lame error message. "I can't open the default database". Well, what did you try? What do you think the default is? What settings are you using? Why is there no debugging information other than the usual worthless trace information showing it's all deep within the ProviderBase and SqlClient namespace code? How is that supposed to be helpful?
If anyone has anything solid, not guesses, I'd like to know.
I work with Microsoft visual studio 2005. i get data from a table by ADO.NET :
SqlConnection sqlConn = new SqlConnection(strConnectionString); sqlConn.Open(); .....
it works fine.
but when i open the SQL Server 2005 express edition and connect to the server (inside the same computer) to check something and then get back to the VS and run the code again ,the Open() function fails with the exception :
{"Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'DOMAIN\asaf_a'."
disconnecting the server doesn't help and even closing the SQL Server 2005 application doesn't help. Only restarting the computer enables the Open() command to work again.
i'm using the Enterpirse library logger to write logs into a database. When choosing connection string i choose the database i want in the "connection properties" dialog box and push 'Test connection' button. everything goes well.
then i open the SQL Server Management studio express and connect to the databse to check some things, from that point on , when i push the 'Test Connection' button in the Enterprise library i get the error:
"cannot open user default database. Login failed. login failed for user My'server/MyuserName'"
even when i close the sql server manager , it is still stuck - the connection test doesn't work anymore.... it only work when i restart the computer.
I Guys I am trying to create an application that writes data to a SQL database (studio express). The application works fine but as soon as I open the table with the SQL server management studio express the application does not work any more displaying the following message:
€śCannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user€¦€?
If I siwtch off and on the computer the problem disappear till the table will be open with the database management studio express!!!!!
Hello, I am currently trying to use the Login control in an ASP.NET website with IIS. The control works fine when I am running the website in debug mode within Visual Studio 2005. However, when I create the Virtual Directory in IIS, and try to log in from there, I get an error message as follows: Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'machinenameASPNET' Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'machinenameASPNET'. The application is very simple. I created a Login.aspx page with a login control on it, and I have the default.aspx page. I used theASP.NET administration tool to change the authentication mode to AspNetSqlProvider (forms authentication), and to create one user (no roles). I am using the default provider with the aspnetdb.mdf database. I have been working on this for a few days now, and have searched this site but have not found a solution that works for me. Any suggestions? Jen
Hi gurus i am new to sql server.... so plz help me out ... i need script to create new database user and login.i know how to create by enterprise manager but have no idea to create it by QA. please help me out thanks in advance shekhar
I have my program create and load (restore) a database, then create a login and make it dbowner by running a script like below via OSQL:
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'SETUP1myserver','SQL Server' EXEC sp_serveroption 'SETUP1myserver','DATA ACCESS', 'TRUE' GO DROP DATABASE [mydb] GO EXEC sp_droplogin 'mylogin' GO CREATE DATABASE [mydb] ON (NAME = N'mydb_data', FILENAME = N'C:AppfolderSQLmydb.mdf' , SIZE = 100, FILEGROWTH = 10%) LOG ON (NAME = N'mydb_log', FILENAME = N'C:AppfolderSQLmydb.ldf' , FILEGROWTH = 10%) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS GO RESTORE DATABASE mydb FROM DISK = 'C:AppfolderSetupmydb.bak' WITH REPLACE, MOVE 'mydb_data' TO 'C:AppfolderSQLmydb.mdf', MOVE 'mydb_log' TO 'C:AppfolderSQLmydb.ldf' GO EXEC sp_addlogin 'mylogin','pass1$' GO USE mydb EXEC sp_changedbowner 'mylogin' GO
This works fine to a point. The program can then connect to the database and carry out normal processing with the "mylogin" user/password but it cannot do administration activities that a dbowner can do.
How do I create a login that does have true dbowner rights?
I'm setting up a simple SSRS implementation for a non-profit organization, using two servers hosted at a data center. The first server has SQL Server Standard Edition and Reporting Services installed. I've designed and deployed a number of useful reports on this server.
I was hoping to isolate this first server by installing IIS and SSRS on the second server, have users browse from the Internet to that second server (over SSL, of course), and have all reports served up from databases (and, presumably, the report server database) on the first server.
During the installation of SSRS on the second server, however, I'm being prompted to specify the service account. According to the help text:
"Reporting Services. Service accounts are used to configure a report server database connection. Choose a domain user account if you want to connect to a report server database on a remote SQL Server instance. If you are using a local report server database, you can use a domain user account or Local System to run the service."
I believe I want to configure SSRS to connect to a report server database on a remote SQL Server instance; therefore, it appears that I need to enter a domain user account. The only problem is, neither server belongs to a domain; they are members of a simple two-server workgroup.
Does SSRS, configured to connect to a report server database on a remote SQL Server instance, require a domain? Does what I'm hoping to accomplish require a domain? Creating a two-server domain seems like overkill for this implementation, doesn't it?
I appreciate any comments and suggestions. Thanks!

Hi, I'm new to SQL Express 2005. I found information regarding : "Cannot open user default database. Login failed."on this forum but I think that in my case it's a bit different issue. I have a website (ASP.NET 2.0) accessing DB, in the mean time Windows Service tries to update some data in the same DB (Service runs as NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SYSTEM). The second connection is rejected: "Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user ....". Problem occurs only when both: service and website are running at the same time. So service and website are running without problems when they are connecting DB exclusively. My connection string is: "Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="|DataDirectory|spider-lab.mdf";Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
I get the below error only when my IDE open. It connects well when it is found closed. [SqlException (0x80131904): Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user 'JPASPNET'.] I could solve this by giving the logged in windows user to impersonate under IIS window > WEBSITE > ASP.NET tab > EDIT CONFIG > APPLICATION tab But I wish someone could give me the proper solution. I almost tried all from giving ASPNET user as a administrator to configuring the same in Express management tool. Environment: XP pro, VWD and SQL Express
I'm sorry if this is simple, I'm no DBA but have been tasked with solving this problem...
We have a website that connects via ODBC to SQL Server (2k sp1) and at the moment I am getting back about every other time:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
So this is NOT happening every single time. Now I have seen Microsoft KB - 307864 and I can see that none of the databases are marked as suspect, the database I am trying to connect to does exist and is attached and, I have run the command to switch the database to multi-user mode.
The probable cause of this problem is that a while ago we had a hard-drive failure and I was forced to reattach some old datafiles (mdf,ldf) as the database. This seemed ok and I can view data etc in enterprise manager no problem.
I have checked for orphaned users and the user I am logging in with from the webpage is not listed.
So does anyone have a clue as to why this is happening, and more frustratingly for me, why is it only happening some of the time.
I doing some testing with security and ran into the following problem.I want to log into the SQL server (from Query Analyzer) using mydomain account. To allow this, I went into Logins section inEnterprise Manager and added my user account as a Windows User.If I set Analyzer to use Windows authentication I am to log in with noproblems. But if it is set to SQL Server authentication and I type inmy username (in the format domainusername or username@domain) andpassword I get a login error.Is there a way to login in to SQL using domain account without usingwindows authentication?Thanks,Jason
Im developing a ASP.NET website. Recently we were required to move the databse from localhost to another server. I'm able to connect to the other server database from SQL 2005 management studio with windows authentication. However when I try to do it in ASP.NET it says error: login failed for domain/server$. I have declared the connection string in web.config file.
I have a server that belongs to domain 'a'. The server is neither a PDC or BDC. This server has SQL Server 7 installed. I wanted security set up so the Domain Administrator could select/update rows in the database and administer the database as well as the local administrator of the Sql Server. From a workstation the domain administrator can create tables but cannot insert rows. From the Server in question the domain administrator can create tables and insert rows. Why does it make a different what box the domain adminstator logs on to?
