I actually read some answers to a similar question, but the suggestions did not help very much.
I have this VM with a 2010 VB application I need to configure some methods and make changes into the config files. It does not work as I get Access to the path is denied. My project is saved in D drive, and I had followed this link and changed the local security settings, but did not help.
I'm just running out of new idea. I'm local admin on this Windows server 2008 R2.
Visual Studio 2010 is stupid, it seems when one start it it does not understand that the user has admin rights unless you start it form the "Start Menu" => right click and start it as admin.
In my case I was starting the solution from the directory where it was stored, and when right click I don't get the option to start it as admin.

Running as admin.
Right click Databases -> Attach, click Add
Browse to directory containing .mdf files (NO FILES SHOWN)
Manually type in file name -> Click "OK" (Message: "Not Found")
Click OK
Failure (SQL Server, Error: 1813)
To the best of my knowledge, the files exist, the permissions are correct, and there has been no reason for corruption (unexpected power outage, hard disk failure, etc.)
Please assist with resolving this, so I can use my database again!
Thank you!

The simple answer is that the user running the DB engine service did not have permission to access the folder.
The more complicated answer is that the permissions were FUBAR, and the actual permissions were not being displayed correctly in various locations.
I had a similar problem when attaching mdf file. I had to run as an administrator when opening the Mgt Studio, then extracted the mdf file...remove the log file...select the mdf file section and then click ok.
it is either persmissions of the data-folder where mdf-file is or mdf-file is in read only mode.

I have installed a new copy of "SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio Express (x86)" on two Windows 7 computers. The SAME install file for both computers. Installed the same way. (as far as I know, I chose the same options)
One at home and one at work.
The one at home seems to work perfectly I "Execute" this file (ITD132-Inventory Initial with data.sql) and it works fine. When I "Execute" it at work I get:
Msg 262, Level 14, State 1, Line 1
CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master'.
..and a bunch of stuff after that which is caused because the database was not created in the first place.
I have compared the permissions on both computers.
see these files:
home computer : non-networked.jpg
work computer: work-networked.jpg
I read in one post that to create new Logins one must be logged in as the Administrator. I log into the Server Managment studio with my windows credentials and I am the Local Admin for my work computer and I have not been able to find any other place to log in as an administrator for this SQL Server Management Studio (so clearly I'm not sure whats meant by that)
At this point I think my problem is that I need to create a user who is not just the "BUILTIN\User" (because this login does not have permissions) with permissions.
But I have no idea how to login as an administrator to create this user role.
Please forgive me if these are obvious answers as I am just starting with this MS Management studio and am not very familiar with T-SQL.
Thanks,
Diana
If you install SQL Server, you get asked during installation process which user or user group should have the Admin-Privileges. If your computer is part of a domain and you login locally, things might get complicated.
The easiest (but not safest way) to login as a "superuser" if to enable the "sa" user.
this is one user that logs on with a password (not integrated logon) and has all the juice to run every script possible :-) By default it's disabled - googling I found a easy how-to enable it:
http://sudeeptaganguly.wordpress.com/2010/04/20/how-to-enable-sa-account-in-sql-server/
I think you are correct that you need to create another user with enough permission. Generally logging in with "integrated security" using your Windows credentials should have enough permissions (assuming the same user is the user that installed SQL Server). If not, you have better luck logging in as the SQL Server user "sa" (system administrator) which should have full permission. Do you know the "sa" password?
Note: the security mode for SQL Server can be set to "Only integrated security with Windows users", "SQL Server security" or "both". The "sa" account will only work if the SQL Server security is enabled. You may be able to access these settings using your BuiltIn\User account.
I am a new administrator to a SharePoint farm and I want to start developing web-parts for our sites.
In our company we have installed SharePoint 2010 on Windows Server 2008 R2.
And we have installed Microsoft visual studio 2010 on that server.
We also have Microsoft SQL server management studio installed in the same server.
In my computer (Windows 7 professional), I have used remote desktop connection to access that server.
From SharePoint central administration, I have created new application, new site collection and new site.
I started VS with admin rights.
From File => New => Project =>Visual basic => SharePoint =>2010 => Empty SharePoint project => ok
Then I got a dialog box asking me to enter the local site that I want to use for debugging.
I entered: "http://sharepoint:21029/team1/"
I chose deploy as a farm solution checkbox.
Click Validate.
The problem is:
When I click Validate, I get the following error:
Cannot connect to the SharePoint site: "http://sharepoint:21029/team1/" Make sure that the Site URL is valid, that the SharePoint site is running on the local computer, and that the current user as the necessary permissions to access the site.
I made a lot of searches on the internet and finally I found this link:
http://www.sharemuch.com/2010/03/19/resolving-vs-2010-solution-deployment-issues-for-sharepoint-2010-projects/
When I tried to solve my problem as described in the previous link, I could not find the following databases:
SharePoint_Config
SharePoint_AdminContent_[guid]
SharePoint Site Content DB
Why I could not find the databases in the SQL Management Studio?
And why I get the error?
I want to start developing web-parts in visual studio... Any help please!!
Thank you
I got the solution finally :)
I found this critical in Event Viewer:
SQL database log in for 'SharePoint_Config' on instance 'sharepoint' failed.
I did the following steps and it solves my issue and I can now connect visual studio to my SharePoint site successfully ^_^
Grant correct permissions to the database access account
To resolve this issue, assign the database access account and then verify that the account has correct permission in SQL Server.
To assign the database access account:
On the Central Administration Web page, on the Quick Launch, click Security, and in the General Security section click Configure service accounts.
In the Credential Management section, in the upper drop-down list click the correct Web application pool for your Web application.
In the Select an account for this component drop-down list, click the domain account with which you want to associate this Web application pool, or click Register new managed account to associate a new domain account with this application pool.
Click OK to save changes.
Thank you all
What is team1? a sub site?
Try using the root site collection:
http://sharepoint:21029/
If you install sp in standalone mode read here about the connection string because sp uses an embedded edition of SQL server
We are running Visual Studio 2012 and Team Foundation Server 2012. In the Team Explorer window, I am able to successfully connect to our TFS environment. However, when I select the Security link under Team Project or Team Project Collection, I receive a message "Team Foundation Server: Login Failure: unknown user name or bad password".
I have not found a log file or anything in any event viewer file that helps debug this problem.
Is there a log file I can search for that contains some 'hints' as to want the connection problem is?
where are your credentials stored on your locale machine that are used to connection team foundation?
We realized that the root cause for this issue is that Visual Studio is trying to open a browser using the same credentials used to connect to TFS. If those credentials are not allowed to run processes on your machine (I suspect in your case it’s domain users on a different domain which is not trusted by the client domain) then opening the browser will fail. That explains why you can hit those URLs using a browser instance that is opened using your own credentials.This will be fixed in a future release of visual studio.
In TFS 2012, the management interface for permissions and project settings has largely shifted to Team Web Access.
Clicking any of the following settings from Team Explorer 2012 will produce the "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password" error:
•Team Project Collection > Security
•Team Project Collection > Group Membership
•Team Project > Security
•Team Project > Group Membership
•Team Project > Work Item Areas
•Team Project > Work Item Iterations
•Team Project > Project Alerts
I have the same problem. To correct it (temporaly), you must run VS 2012 with this command:
C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /netonly /user:{domain\loginname} "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe"
Change {domain\loginname} by the domain and login name of your tfs domain account. A console will ask for your password and all works!
I also experienced the same issue with TFS. I found a solution for that. You have to remap your workspaces in your PC or Remote server. If you have any uncommitted changes in your projects, you have to keep backup, otherwise you will lost your changes.
Steps -
Go to Workspaces in Visual Studio
File-> Source Control -> Advanced -> Workspaces
Remove the current workspaces.
Remap the projects again.
I was experiencing the same issue with TFS Express 2012. I don't know if my situation applies to you but here are the facts:
My TFS instance was running on a remote server.
Neither that server or my local machine were on a domain.
I was using the same user account name on both machines but with
different passwords.
Setting the passwords to be same fixed the problem.
The functions that weren't working were the ones that launch the project website, which I could navigate to directly anyway.
Managed to fix the issue myself by mapping a drive to the area where TFS appears to have A cache located - but then I have 2 separate workspaces going across 2 separate domains
This is my first try of Visual Basic 2010 Express, though I have 10 yrs+ experience in VBA.
I'm running Windows XP SP2 on a desktop pc with following installed:
Visual Basic 2010 Express... just installed!
SQL Server 205 Express ... been running on pc for 12 months
I've created a new DB in SQL for my test application, but have not added any users or permissions to it as I'm using Windows authentication.
I've created a new Windows Forms Solution in VB2010EXP and tried adding a new Data Source for my new SQL DB, but it keeps giving error message about not having rights ot the db.
2 days of searching on the web has confirmed many others with similar issues, but no obvious solution. Eventually I find a few threads about permissions and moving the mdf into the root of the HDD, so try moving my mdf file up closer to the root of the Hard Drive
msf was in C:\Documents and Settings\_SharedData\Application_Data\MSSQL2005\Data\
now in C:\SQL2005\Data\
Now I can finally add a data source to my Db and start to use VS.
Problem is now occasionally when I am workng in VB and then go to the SQL Management Studio and try and view/change my DB, it gives an error and I cant access my DB. I then have to detach and re attach to my DB before I can work on it.
So my questions are:
Surely the location of my MDF file
should not be critical???
Do I need to add a user and
permission to my DB or should VB be
able to deal with this automatically
as I'm using windows authentication
Are then any known issues with
VB/VS causing errors in SQL
Managment Studio?
Thanks in advance

SQL Server runs on a different Windows Account to the one you use. You can check this by going to services (Run > Services.msc) and under SQL Server, go to properties and the Log On tab. I think by default 2005 uses the 'Network Service' system account. Now the reason you can't attach an MDF sat inside your documents folder is that account doesn't have access to your documents. You could give it permission, but you're much better off having the databases closer to the root as you have done.
Your connection to the database is driven by the connection strings you use. My personal preference is to create SQL Login accounts for my applications, and give them the least possible permissions they require. You could do the same using a Windows Account if you prefer.
I'm sure there are a couple. What is the error you are getting that prevents you accessing the Db? If we can see this error we may be able to help better.
Hope that helps.
