I have a database user (Maximum). Its default schema is db_datareader. It was created without a login name. When I try and delete this user, i get the following error message:
Drop failed for User 'maximum'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
The database principal owns a schema in the database, and cannot be dropped. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15138)
How do I remove this user?
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.
why ?

Been looking through the forums for a solution to this problem.I already tried granting access through statements such as:exec sp_grantloginaccess N1'machineNameASPNET'But they don't seem to work.. i vaguely remember seeing somewhere a DOS command line statement that grants access to the ASPNET_WP and that fixed my problem before on another computer.. but this is a new computer and i forgot to write down the command.Can anyone help explain and propose a solution to my problem. Many thanxs.

View 4 Replies View RelatedHey 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.
Hi I have asp.net2 app using SQLExpress which works fine in VS2005.

hi,
so i have a new box and I'm trying to get my websites and SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition working on it, but the pages give me the following error when I try to load them:
"Cannot Open Database "XXXX" requested by login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'xxx'"
Everything seems exactly the same settings and user-wise from my old box to my new one, but nevertheless everything I've tried gives me the same error.
I've tried creating new users in SQL Server and giving them appropriate permissions to my database. I've even tried just using the built in 'sa' account. Nothing seems to change the error, except when I give it the incorrect password then it just says 'login failed'
This leads me to believe that i'm successfully logging into the SQL Server, but it doesn't want to give me access to the database I'm requesting access too. But "apparently" the account i'm using should have access to the database. If nothing else the 'sa' account should, but that didn't work either.
I'm stumped. Any ideas?

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 would be grateful if you can help me

Hi,
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.
Thanks for your help, appreciated.
James.
Good afternoon,
I have a little trouble with sql server 2005 express database:
customer need install new web application to hosting, but at hosting is currently exist other web application and it's using DB what I must use. DB contains a big number of tables, views, functions, etc.
I need delete all user objects from this DB, it must be as new created one.
Is any query whitch can do this?
PS: I know, best way for this is delete DB and create new one, but i haven't permissions for these.
Thank's for reply.
I am using SQL2000. I took a backup of the database on the live server to setup the database on my new development computer. In the tables, there are 2 owners’ dbo and indiankarma. The tables that are owned by indiankarma are the tables that the site runs from. The problem: The database user was created by the .bak file and does not have a login name. I created a security login named indiankarma and set the password, default database, server roles, BUT when I set the database access and click OK, it says User 'Indiankarma' already exists. I tried to delete the database user and start from scratch but it tells me the selected user cannot be dropped because the user owns objects. Now I have tried sp_changedbowner 'indiankarma' which does give the security login name indiankarma database access but it makes the user dbo not indiankarma. I need the web application to read indiankarma.[tablename] not dbo.[tablename] Can anyone help me with this problem????

Hi everyone,
I have a simple question regarding the database users on sqlserver 2005.
When i run a 'sp_helpuser' stored procedure in a database to know the usernames and their corresponding loginsName, i find there are some usernames with corresponding loginName as null.I know for sure that for 'Guest' username the corresponding loginName will be Null, but i find many normal database users with Null login names.
Can anyone throw some light on this scenario?.and what about 'dbo' user in a database? can dbo user have a 'NULL' login name or 'sa' login by default?. Please help me
Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I've had this issue in the past but dealt with it in a way that I don't think is correct:
Let's say I have a database on Server1. On Server1 I create a login and a user on the database. Now I have User1 with a login authorization on Server1 as well as a user within my database. If I detach that database now, and re-attach it on a different server, User1 exists. Of course, on the new Server2 User1 does not have authorization to login. I've deleted the existing user in the database and then re-created a login on the server, cascading through with the GUI setup to re-create the user within the database, too. Of course this gets ugly if the user has objects within the database. If I create a server login with the same name as the database user the login is not associated with the user too, correct?
I'd like to know the way that I can create a server authorization tied to the existing database user without dropping that database user, preferably within Enterprise Manager.
Thanks all,
MC

I've installed 'SQL Server Express 2005 SP2'.
When I select 'SQL database' from 'Add new item ' (either in Visual C# or Visual Web Developer express) I get the following errror: "Login failed for user'.

I've tried reinstalling SQL Server express, but I still get the same error.

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.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
I know that there have been numerous posts on this topic, however none of the suggestions seems to resolve my problem. I am running a ASP 2.0 web application locally using SQL server 2005 express, but after using SQL Server Management Studio to browse the database of the application i get the following error everytime i log into the website:
Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user '<<machine name>>ASPNET'
All i had done is attach then detatch the database in SSMS and it seems to have changed the access permissions somehow.I have ensured that the ASPNET user has full permissions (server roles and User mapping) in SSMS and i have granted the ASPNET user full rights to the ASPNETDB.MDF and log file, but i still get the same error.
Its really urgent i sort this problem out as soon as possible, so if anyone has tackled this problem before please help. Ideally i don't want to have to reinstall sql server, but if that is the only option and it will definitely fix the problem then i will.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have an ASP.Net web application running in groupnamewebservername. I am trying to connect it to the remote database server groupnamedatabaseservername using the ASPNET user id. The remote database is SQL Server 2005 and the web server has IIS 6.0 installed. My web.config connection entry has username as "groupnamewebservernameaspnet" and I have a database user in remote database server under the login name groupnamewebservername$. When I try to connect, I keep getting the following error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'groupnamewebservernameaspnet'.
Could you please let me know what I am doing wrong here? Thanks.

I have similar question like Tim asked but from a different angle. I wish I pose my question here too anybody can help answer this.
I tried to use detach and attach method to do backup of the user database (not master, maybe we can do master too) on another server, but it looks the login and permission credential would not go together. I come to see different kind of message I tried to login as non-sa user after I attatch the database on different machine. I would be denied for SQL timeout. It looks like loginand user dose not exist in new server because I did not move master database too. But even if I recreate the login when I tried to associate user with login I will see a message saying user or role already exist in database. If I go back to check the user it did not show up on enterprize manager on that database.
So my question would be
1). how to move login and user together with user database.
2) do we have to move master database where the login infor. reside
3). if so how to move master database from one server to another when other server already have master database exist?
Hope somebody can answer this.
