I have a installation of MSDE MSQLSERVER on my machine, in this server i run a local database. The problem began when I uninstalled the msde sqlserver and reinstalled it. The program tha uses the database not are connecting, they prompt: "login failed"
I've searched all over the web trying to find a goddamn fix for this problem and no one has it right or they have the commands misspelled (!!!), so in spite of all those idiots, in spite of the makers of the Web Matrix guided tour for not pointing out this problem, and in spite of Microsoft who has not posted a solution themselves, here it goes:
* !! Change MYCOMPUTER below to the appropriate name of your computer !! * Open a command prompt * Type: C: * Type: cd "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server80ToolsBinn" (or the exact location of the file "osql.exe" if different) * Copy/paste the following commands
I'm installing Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2 Premium. I am at the stage where I am installing the Premium Technologies. Specifically, I am trying to configure permissions for the new SHAREPOINT instance of SQL Server 2005. When I try to create the new login NT AuthorityNetwork Service, typing it exactly as specified in the instructions, I get the following error:
Create failed for Login 'NT AUTHORITYNetwork Service' (Microsoft.Sqlserver.Smo)

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?
My question is, is it possible to connect to an SQL database using the MSDE 2000 SP3a edition over the internet? And if so, how do I set it up? Thank you in advance.
Apparently you cannot go backwards. Once 2005 Express is installed, even removing it does not allow you to setup MSDE 2000 again. So there is no "trying it out" option.
Unfortunately, our software does not use 2005 Express. I tried it out, and now have a useless testing workstation that can't have MSDE 2000 installed again.
Any ideas on how to break the chain here are welcome.
i have msde 2000 running on a server i am able to create an odbc connection to my db on that pc. when i try to create anpther odbc connection on another pc on that network i get the following error:
sql state '01000' server error 2 [microsoft][odbc sql server driver][named pipes] connectionopen (connect()). connection failed sql state '08001' server error 17 [microsoft][odbc sql server driver][named pipes]server does not exist or access denied.
what do i have to do to get this odbc connection on this pc working?
We have a SQL 2000 Active/Passive cluster running on Windows 2000. On one node, everything logs in fine (second node is powered off). I can use local authentication fine in OSQL (-E) and even see my connection in SQLEM current activity as [DomainUser] for the NT account which I am logged in as. Then I bring the second node online and initiate a failover. SQL Server starts but Cluster Admin cannot connect and starts throwing this Anonymous Logon error. I open a command prompt and try the same OSQL (-E) local login and sure enough it is also giving the Anonymous Logon connection user. I do not understand why the failover to a second node is causing the Trusted Connection Local authentication to switch to Anonymous instead of the [DomainUser] which I am using. Any help is appreciated. John.
I received the above error yesterday and haven't been able to trace it to any job or process running. We haven't implemented any changes to the server in the past few months, and it doesn't look to be a user-established connection, since the Client IP Address of the SSPI handshake error is from the server itself.
I logged this set of messages in SQL AgentServer error log:
Date 10.03.2008 6:15:19 PM Log SQL Server (Current - 11.03.2008 2:32:00 PM) Source Logon Message SSPI handshake failed with error code 0x80090304 while establishing a connection with integrated security; the connection has been closed. [CLIENT: <IP Address>]

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.
I am using the MSDE to connect to my ASP.NET application. I get this error after clicking the login button of my login page. Anyone know why this would happen?
Thanks for any help,

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'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!!!!!
Hi I have asp.net2 app using SQLExpress which works fine in VS2005.

I have a script component. What it does, it queries the a table using a connectionstring assigned to it in the Connection Managers Editor (which is an ado.net adapter). this works fine when i'm using a windows login in the ado.net connection manager.

All the logins with sysadmin role are locked out in one of the SQL server. Also in that instance Logon trigger is implemented which allows only certain users with Windows Authentication to logon.
This server is converted into single user mode by using command prompt. Now we are attempting to connect to SQLServer using command sqlcmd -S FTCPU3239 (since we do not have any other login) and create a new login with sysadmin role but are refused due to logon trigger. it says Login failed for login 'DomainNameUserName' due to trigger execution.

Hi, I just installed Visual web developper 2008 express with all options including SQL srvr express 2005!
This is from default iso image on the official website.
I create my first project and when I want to do ASP.NET configuration from web site menu, i got this error:
"Cannot open database "aspnetdb" requested by the login. The login failed."
I am just trying to learn here so i even did not create any dB or something, it is 1st time I run configuration to add security roles and users for testing!
I also un-installed all and re-installed, still the same...

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. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) These both errors r coming simultaneously when start to debug only when i tried to retrive data from database , from past two days not able to work on database,plz help me in solving this ,i tried everything what i know and even on experts advice from recommended websites, forums and on google search..
I am getting the above error. On server1 I am running a dts package via a sql server job (sql server2005). This has been working perfectly for over a year. This package needs to access a database on server2. The database in question on server2 was recently restored from our produciton environment to refresh the data. Every since thsi time the job on server1 is failing with the above error.
Steps I have taken so far: droped the user from server2 and recreated it gave the user sysadmin rights on server 2 and server1
I'm using Visual Web Developer, .NET Framework 2.0, ASP.NET 20., IIS 5.1. on Windows XP Pro SP2.
I have assigned every possible user i can think of full permissions to the web folder, all of the subfolders, and the database files. This includes Administrator, Administrator Groups, ASPNET user, IUSR_Machine, Interner guest account, Network Group, Network Service Group, Power Users Group, Users.
I'm logged on as administrator.
When i run the web service from within VWD, i get this error.
Cannot open database "eBayTrader" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'DHJC2R91ASPNET'.
Does anybody know how to resolve this problem ?
I have been working on it for days. I will gladly pay someone to work this out with me over the phone/email. I'll send you a check before we start.
I have created a new database within SQLServer Express 2005 and have an ASP page in IIS. Any time i attempt to access the database I get the following error:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot open database "testDB" requested by the login. The login failed.
The ODBC connection that I have created works fine if connecting to the same table (literally three sample fields with two records) in an Access database.
The database connection that I am using is:
Set DatabaseConnection = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") DatabaseConnection.Open "DSN=testDB;UID=EINSTEINAdministrator&pwd=password;DATABASE=testDB;APP=ASP Script" Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.recordset") SQLString = "SELECT * FROM testTable" rs.Open SQLString, DatabaseConnection if NOT rs.EOF then Response.Write(rs("testField1") & " - " & rs("testField2")) end if rs.Close DatabaseConnection.Close Set DatabaseConnection = Nothing
EINSTEIN is the name of the server, rs = Recordset. I have tried changing to just Administrator instead of machinenameAdministrator with no success. I have got SQL Server Management Studio Express CTP, and can log in fine to SQL Server using EINSTEINAdministrator.
Many a times see the below error in SQL Error log.
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON'. Reason: Token-based server access validation failed with an infrastructure error. Check for previous errors. [CLIENT: ]
Is this something to do here?
Note: If I run the below statement I know that the SQL Error log entry will go off, but wanted to know the real significance of this error?
CREATE LOGIN [NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON] FROM WINDOWS
I get that error.I'm sure you see this question alot, but i'm dumfounded by it. Problem is that i've taken the code directly off the live website, yes i've changed the connection string... Private _connStr As String = "Data Source=localhostSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=EFM;User ID=*****;password=******;Trusted_Connection=true" and am using the database that was originally worked on... Only thing that has changed is my new computer.... had to reload everything... new VWD, new sql express, new sql servermanagement studio express... all semmingly working fine... ie i can see the database and edit it, i just cant connect to it through the localhost to test the program. Any Ideas? why does this error come up... how can i fix it? Thanks in advance Cannot open database "EFM" requested by the login. The login failed.Login failed for user 'GERTIEIBM USER'.

Hi, we are running a webapplication, using IIS6, Windows 2003 64 bit in classic Asp. In the asp pages we connect to our SQL server (SQL Server 2005 64bit,windows 2003 64 bit), mirrored on a third sql server (same software setup as the first sql server).
The mirroring is without witness.
This works perfectly but sometimes we get the following error :
Description: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Cannot open database "OBJECTS" requested by the login. The login failed.
In the logs of sql, we see that the offending connection does not go the principal but to the mirror. Which would cause the problem of course..
The name of the database varies, and there is no consistent error. Most of the time there are no problems (95%), but sometimes we get these errors.
Connection from the asp to sql is done using ADO, using following driver in the connectionstring :
Driver="{SQL Native Client}"
Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem ? We can of course increase timouts for the mirroring, but is this the solution ?
Hi, we are running a webapplication, using IIS6, Windows 2003 64 bit in classic Asp. In the ASP pages we connect to our SQL server (SQL Server 2005 64bit,windows 2003 64 bit), mirrored on a third sql server (same software /hardware setup as the first sql server).
The mirroring is without witness.
This works but sometimes we get the following ODBC error in our ASP application :
Description: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Cannot open database "OBJECTS" requested by the login. The login failed.
No error can be seen in the principal SQL error logs. But a failed authorization can be found on the mirror server.. And this of course this makes sense, as the connection does not go to the primary but to the secondary, which is acting as mirror. And therefore can not be accessed. The question is : why does the connection sometimes jumps in stead from the primary server, to the mirror server ? Nowhere in the code I give a secondary server as reference.
Most of the time there are no problems (97%), but sometimes we get these errors.
The moments that this error occures are random, as are the databases with which the error occurs.
The connection is made through ODBC in an ASP web application (IIS6) , simelar to :
Set oCn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") oCn.CommandTimeout = 180 oCn.Open lconstring
where lconstring is a dsn param : e.g. "filedsn=c:datadsnmastercon.dsn" where the dsn file contains following info :
I tried the above without the DSN, so a dsnless connection string. Nothing changed. I tried following drivers :{SQL Native Client} and SQLNCLI Nothing changed
Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem ? We can of course increase timouts for the mirroring, but is this the solution ? Before we started using SQL 2005 and mirroring this problem did not occur. Greets Tom
