What Is The Default Login Of Mdf Database Created In WVD Express?
Mar 7, 2008
Hi,
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.

Using SQL Server 2005 under XP Professional. I am attempting to log into the Server Management Studio as "UserX". I had previously been using Server Management while logged in as admin. I now get this error message when attempting to connect to the database server: **********************************************************************TITLE: Connect to Server------------------------------Cannot connect to [**NAME OF SERVER**].------------------------------ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:Login failed for user '[**NAME OF SERVER**].UserX. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18456)For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=18456&LinkId=20476------------------------------BUTTONS:OK------------------------------ ******************************* Microsoft help doesn't have a specific help for that particular error message. Any hints as to what is going wrong?
Hi! I have a piece of code that connects to the master database and uses the simple 'CREATE DATABASE MYDATABASE' statement to create a new database on an sql server 2005 express instance.
I then close that connection and try to open a new connection using my newly created database. I use integrated authentication in both cases. However, I get the following error: Cannot open database "MYDATABASE" requested by the login. The login failed.Login failed for user 'DOMAINNAMEusername'.System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot open database "MYDATABASE" requested by the login. The login failed.
I don't get this error all the time. I tried to run my code many times and it some times work. But in some cases it doesn't. The database is always created but some times I cannot connect to it. But again, if I wait a little and try again with the same database, the connection is made.
I know that my connections are opened and closed normally and they don't remain open. So I don't believe I reach the maximum number of available connections.
I also sometimes get this exception : A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.
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...
I'm trying to create a login in the default domain. I know I can pullthis information from xp_loginconfig, but don't see how I can use it inthe context of sp_grantlogin.For example, pull the domain the user is currently logged in on andinsert it into the sp_grantlogin script. Has anyone ever done this inthe past?
I have managed to create a backup of my SQL Express database by using the Transact-SQL from article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/241397.
I am not sure if it backed up the correct database, as in the script from the article, there is no where for me to specify my SQL Express database. The back up file that was created after I ran the script is, msdb.dat_bak.
Now if this is the correct database, how can I restore the data into my vb.net project that holds the SQL Express Database?
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".
Using VWD 05 Express & SQL Server 05 Express, how do I transfer my database to my host that is using SQL Server 2005. On the SQL Server express web site http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/powerful/ one of the features listed for SQL Server 05 Express is: Transfer any database created in SQL Express to other editions of SQL Server 2005. Thanks
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 developing a windows forms app with a local database to be deployed on a couple of users machines. To aid deployment I'm using 'user instance' with a connection string of:
Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|gma.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;Connection Timeout=15;
I've started with a backup function based on the blog 'Backup and Restore with User Instance' linked to from this forum. Problem is I always get the error message 'Cannot open user default database. Login failed for user xxx'. This happens when I run in debugger or just run the exe directly.
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:
€œCannot 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!!!!!
trying to get a new database created then running a script to created the tables, relationships, indexes and insert default data. All this I'm making happen during the installation of my Windows application. I'm installing SQL 2012 Express as a prerequisite of my application and then opening a connection to that installed SQL Server using Windows Authentication.Â
E.g.: Data Source=ComputerNameSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=master;Integrated Security=SSPI; Then I run a query from my code to create the database eg: "CREATE DATABASE [MyDatabaseName]".
From this point I run a script using a Batch file containing "SQLCMD....... Myscriptname.sql". In my script I have my tables being created using "Use [MyDatabaseName]   Go  CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MyTableName] .....". So question is, should I have [dbo]. as part of my Create Table T-SQL commands? Can I remove "[dbo]."? Who would be the owner of the database? If I can remove the [dbo]., should I also remove dbo. from any query string from within my code?
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
Hello The default location where db's are created is almost full. Is there any way to change the default location where the .mdf and .ldf are created when I create a new db? I know I can do this when I create a new db and go select where I want it to be, but can I make it default to a different directory automatically so no human intervention is needed? tia r/P
When I run in debug mode, I connect fine. I can do anything in the db in VisualStudio 2005.
Then I open the SQL Management Studio, connect to Sql Express, try to open the same database and it can't open it.
BUT...
If I stop running the VisualStudio application (I can leave VS open, but not run the app I'm developing),
and reopen SQL Management Studio, connect to Sql Express and open the same db, I can do anything.
It's not just VS and SQL either.
If I open CodeSmith and load a template I use that access the db, I can run my templates fine as long as I'm not running the application in VS or have the db open in SQL Express.
In other words, I can have one connection at a time only on this sql express db.
Before I detached it, I could have multiple connections at the same time.
I checked the properties in sql express and it says I can have multiple (4 is specified) connections at a time;
Allow remote access is also checked.
Arrow/Rick is db owner, the default database is Master.
I don't know any other information to provide.
DId I miss something? How can I get multiple connections working again on this?
