I have been reading through the article pointed to by the link below on msdn and its documented that one functional limitation of user instances is "Only local connections are allowed."
I didn't understand the technical details(meaning) of that limitation and hopefully some one might explain it to me so that i can understand it better.
This is my first time to deploy an asp.net2 web site. Everything is working fine on my local computer but when i published the web site on a remote computer i get the error "Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path. Please make sure the user has a local user profile on the computer. The connection will be closed" (only in pages that try to access the database)
Help pleaseee
Hi all hope some one can help - please bear with me new to this
Basically I have had to change pc's so I copied and pasted my ASPNET.MDF and LDF from my old pc to new PC including webpages/apps etc.. created.
However now all I get is "Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path """"
Just don't understand what permissions the db should have, does it need to match the SQL Express owner...
any help would be most appreciated
Thanks

I installed my asp.net 2.0 web application and sql express june editon on my windows 2003 server.When the application tries to reach the database i am getting the following error"Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path. Please make sure the user has a local user profile on the computer. The connection will be closed."I can understand that it has something to do with user right but more than that I am pretty lost. Can anyone translate this error for me and give me some tips on what do to.I checked first the user running the sql express service and saw it was the NETWORK SERVICE user. I changed it to be the local system account but that did not make any difference. The application is running just fine on my local computer(Win XP sp2). This one has SQL express April edition though.
View 3 Replies View RelatedJust when I think I have this stuff figured out, it bites me back everytime.
I'm
trying to deploy an mdf out to a different machine, and attached to it with local user instance. I connect without problem from my development
machine with a local user instance, which also has Express Manager resident,
and I can connect to a server instance without problem.
What I can't do is
copy the .mdf database over to another workstation, which has Sql Native
Client installed, and connect to the database using a local user
instance! I can connect to a server instance without problem from this
other workstation. Here's my connect string for local user instance
that works fine from my dev machine:
Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Persist
Security Info=False;Integrated Security=SSPI;Data
Source=.sqlexpress;AttachDBFileName=<full path_name and mdf
filename>;User Instance=true;
The error I get upon trying to connect with other stations is:
Error -2147467259
Database not found or cound not connect to database
I've
tried this every way I know how. I've copied the database from my dev
machine both with and without having detached the database from the
local instance. I've tried detaching from a server instance and copying
the file over. Nothing works, and I've done this before! What gives with this thing?

In the latest issue of MSDN Journal , article "IIS 7.0: Enhance Your Apps Wioth Integrated ASP.NET Pipeline", Mike Volodarsky says:
"...Be sure to close the tool after you are finished as SQL Server Express Edition allows only one user identity to access the database at a time."
Can someone elaborate on this?
I am using the SQLEXPRESS database, and connect from to locations:
Windows Service
ASP.NET web application.
whenever I start the windows service I get the error: Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
so I am going to visual studio and close the connection. then I close the web browser, and the windows service succeed connect to database.
but then, after windows service is connected, I open the web browser application and fails to login because the login system using the same database of windows service, and since the connection is being used by windows service, login is impossible.
Do you know how I can allow 2 connections at the same time for the same database?
what are the risks to do that? and how do I handle this risks.
thanks alot
Got windows Vista Business edition, installed Visual Web Developer Express, SQL Server 2005 Express SP2, SQL Server Management Studio SP1 in that order. I was developing in VWD express without problems using WinXP but now on Vista Business, the local connection to SQL server appears to be a problem.
I know there's nothing wrong with my web.config or anything like that as it was working perfectly prior to running under Vista. If i specify the database on the live website, it works fine. If I specify the test database in app_data folder, I get the following exception:-

I am taking a guess it's somerthing to do with access issues, but can't find anything out on searching the forums etc..
I am setup as an administrator, running VWD as an administrator and for the record, SQL Server Management Studio express works fine.
Another small issue, when I run the application from VWD, I always have to minimise the application and restore it as the graphics get corrupt.
Please help!! I cannot debug when running of the live website.
As a starter i tried to modify and translate the Personal Website Starters kit from the VS2005Team SDK.
When i'm working on the machine were it's installed , under debugging, all works great.
But when i try to develop from my laptop, via RDP on the develop machine, i've got this message and can not debug (connect to the SQLxpres Server)
Does anybody now a solution ??

Hello everyone,
I am new in .NET development and currently trying to learn VWB through Microsoft online tutorials.
Here is the problem that prevents me from getting further:
in VWB, when you right click App_Data and chose "Add New Item" and then select SQL database, the following error message is displayed:
"Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed."
If I cancel out of it, it does generate mdf file under App_Data folder in Solution Explorer, but when I try to open it, it says:
"The item does not exist in the Web directory. t may have been moved, renamed or deleted." and that is where the whole sharade deadends.
I can connect via mycomputersqlexpress under Data Connections in Database Explorer (it then adds "master.dbo" to the path) and then create custom tables, but that is not the same, isn't it? I mean, this will not integrate my database tables through default configuration that I am trying to follow?
All this happens on local machine.
Thanks to everybody who can help!

I was able to do do this before until Saturady when I had to re-install sql server, and express etc due to some system problem on my xp Pro PC. What have I misconfigured?
I do see the service SQL Serer(SQLEXPRESS) started under Network Service and SQL Serfver(MSSQLSERVER) started under local system.
My power user ID does have modify access to the sql 90 database folders. and to the mdf.
No wonder Microsoft is giving it away for free. It€™s not worth anything. I am very disappointed in this version of SQL server. I decided to start learning VB so I downloaded and installed VB 2005 express edition and SQL 2005 express. I tried to build a personal website using the starter kit. I kept getting the following error message, for which I have seen numerous postings on this forum.
€śFailed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.€?
I went out and bought the Standard version of VS 2005 thinking there may be a feature that the free express version is lacking. I uninstalled the express version, cleaned the registry, deleted all the folders it created and installed the Standard edition. Then I tried to create a personal web using the starter kit and it does the same thing again.
I can not create a database file, connect to a database file. I can not create or attach a database on the SQL 2005 express from VS 2005. The SQL server Express seems to be working OK since I can attach to it using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express. There is something about the way VS tries to connect to the database server that is not working. VB does recognize the local computer as a SQL server but can not connect to it.
SQL server is set to accept Shared memory, TCP/IP and named pipes for local clients.
What is causing this?
This is some information on the system I am using:

I am now to programming but nor computer illiterate. I have been working with MS SQL servers since version 6.5 and have MCSE, Network+, A+ and Security plus certifications. Installing and using VS should not be this problematic. What is wrong with Microsoft?
I have a form to submit some data to a database located in the App_Data folder. I have the following connection string:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Siven.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>
On the form I'm using a DetailsView control and using a SqlDataSource as the datasource, pointing to the above connection string. In realtime, when i submit the data, I receive the following error:
Server Error in '/' Application.
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. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
I'm using discountasp.net as the host, and I did not elect to use the SQL Server databases, I'm just going to use SQL 2005 express. I dont understand why it's not pointing to the db when it's there (and to make sure, I re-uploaded). Is there something I missed here?
Good Morning,
Is the 1 Gb limit a limitation of 1 Gb for all instances of express, or is it a per instance limitation?
Thanks

I've two instances(Default, Named[dynamicsFINANCE]) running on SQL server 2014. However, when I try to connect to named instance say (dynamicsFINANCE) using SQL authentication from local SSMS, I get below error message:

Hello everybody,I was configuring a SqlDataSource control using SQL Authentication mode.I first added a database file (testdb.mdf) through Solution Explorer-Add New Items. Then through Database Explorer I created a table named "info"Then while configuring the SqlDataSource control I used the SQL Authentication mode and attached the "testdb.mdf" database file.Test Connection showed success. But when I hit the Ok button of the wizard it displayed the following error message:Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server. Only an integrated connection can generate a user instance.While configuring the SqlDataSource control I clicked "New Connection". Under Data Source section I tried both Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft SQL Server Database File. And in both the cases I attached a databese file(testdb.mdf). Plz enlighten me on this.Thanks and Regards,Sankar.

Hello all,
We are currently testing all our applications on Vista and SQL Server 2005. Everything is running and working, but our applications that connect to SQL Server 2005 are running very slow. We have our client installed on a vista pc running SQL Server 2005 on the same pc. I was trying to troubleshoot the problem and realized that we had "Local connections only" checked in the Surface Area Configuration tool, and changed it to "Local and remote connections". After making this change all our apps seem to be running much faster. I just didn't expect this to be the problem since we were connecting from the same computer that is running the server. Can anyone explain to me why this has made the difference in performance?
Thanks for your time and attention,

I have installed MS SQL 2005 in my system. I have created one database in my server. When iam running my application with this connections it is working fine in my local system. When i uploaded the database to some where dataserver, Iam not getting the connectins due to no remote access .
Some body suggested that to start the SQL browser in the SQL Server Configuration Manager.

What could be the wrong?
Please suggest me.

My replication is not working. I was able to create a transactional replication successfully. However, when i tried starting the agent on the snapshot, it wouldn't work. I figure that it was because my agent service login is different from that of the subscriber. my publisher and distributor is on local user whereas my subsciber sql services use our global login.
Thank you in advance. Good day!

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using the RTM version of Visual Studion 2008 and SQLServer Express.
Logged in as an administrator, I can create a connection to an mdf file and all is well.
As a normal user, attempting to create a connection gives the message "sqlservr.exe has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I have tried this with UAC turned on and turned off. The result is the same. In Services I can see that SQLEXPRESS is running, but each time I try to connect, I get the "stopped working" message.
For existing database programs that have the .mdf file stored in the project folder, I can run the program in the VS IDE on my XP machine and on my Vista machine as administrator, but not as a normal user.
I'm not looking for a workaround to make this work once, but the cause and solution to the problem. This is for an introductory VB textbook and we must be able to move a database program from one machine to another and make it work. Everything I have read says that SQLExpress should be able to do that.
Can anyone help me with this?

I have two databases (A and B )on the same SQL Server instance. Both have SSB enabled and running fine within themselves. All athorizations are at present set to dbo.
Recently I had a requirement to start a dialog and send a message from within data base A to a queue via a service that is in database B.
I tried coding the SSB instance in the BEGIN DIALOG then I set up a route and tried that. On both occoasions I got the following on sys.transmission_queue
"An exception occurred while enqueueing a message in the target queue. Error: 916, State: 3. The server principal "sa" is not able to access the database "B" under the current security context."
Is this sometjhing to do with security lock downs in 2005?

I thought it might have been my Norton 360 Premier but I uninstalled it.I AM having issues with the adapter frequently dropping the internet connection but I just disconnect and reconnect and that resolves itself.The other technique I tried was to replace the server name with the IP address ... <192.168.0.22>/Instance ... This actually seemed to find the SQL Server but rejected the Windows Authentication ...
