Help I''ve been an Idiot

  • Hi

    I was using MDSE 2000 and de-installed it and installed SQL Sever Developer edition and copied the old MSDE databases to the data folder of the new SQL Server. To my suprise the new server cannot see them. What do I need to do to rectify this please.

    Thanks

  • attach the database to the new server and you should be able to use them.

    An error has occured while processing your request. Please contact system administrator with the following information:

    Error description: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'ASTRALIS\ASPNET'. at System.Data.SqlClient.ConnectionPool.GetConnection(Boolean& isInTransaction) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnectionPoolManager.GetPooledConnection(SqlConnectionString options, Boolean& isInTransaction) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.Open() at Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.Data.SqlHelper.ExecuteScalar(String connectionString, CommandType commandType, String commandText, SqlParameter[] commandParameters) at Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.Data.SqlHelper.ExecuteScalar(String connectionString, CommandType commandType, String commandText) at MonoSoftware.MonoX.Portal.Global.Global_Error(Object sender, EventArgs e)

  • Attaching a database does not automatically update users and permissions within the server.  You will have to recreate your logins and their permissions in the new server.  I believe that this will solve your problem.

    Hope this helps
