I am using SP 2010.
I created a new site collection from central admin.
and it gave me "site created successfully"
when I visit the new site collection, I get below error:
Cannot connect to the configuration database
What are my options?
Go to services (Start --> Run --> Type services.msc) and start the service SQL Server(SHAREPOINT)
Its probably the app pool you are running your site collection under, have you got any other site collections in the same web application?
If not take a look at the permissions on the app pool for that web app
This problem came to me after a password expired in the AD and had to be updated.
When i changed the password i had to sync in to the ad and used this site: http://info.izzy.org/Blog/archive/2010/08/04/how-to-fix-an-out-of-sync-password-issue-in-sharepoint-2010.aspx
Then i found out that the problem was that SharePoint Timer Service wasnt running och the Front end server. So I had to do an iisreset on the front end server to get the Service to start, since the account using the service was the account with a new password. And then everything was back on track again!
in my case the problem was secondary replica of Always on Was Empty and does not have Config database
i have configured an always Solution and at start i connect sharepoint to alias via cliconfig.exe and alias was connecting to AG listener
fail over back to instance where Config db exists solved my problem

I have a .Net Core 2.0 application that I host in IIS 7.
With IIS Express the application works fine and I'm able to connect to the database successfully. With IIS I get this error:
Cannot open database "Books" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'DOMAINNAME\PCNAME$'.
My connectionString in appsettings.production.json file looks like this :
"ConnectionStrings": {
"BooksDatabase": "Server=PCNAME\\SQLEXPRESS;Database=Books;user id=iisAccess;password=iisPassword;Trusted_Connection=True;ConnectRetryCount=0;MultipleActiveResultSets=true"
};
What am I doing wrong and why does it say that the "login failed for 'DOMAINNAME\PCNAME$'" when I put the credentials user id=iisAccess;password=iisPassword; in my JSON file?
You are asking for Windows Authentication:
Trusted_Connection=True
Remove this part of the connection string and give it another try.
The reason for the error goes along these lines:
IISExpress runs as a normal process in your logon session. So it runs with your Windows Credentials. When your app is running inside IISExpress it is actually running under your credential, and when you connect to the database using Windows Authentication, is your login that SQL Server will receive.
The full IIS on the other hand runs as a service under a different session and a different user account. There are the application pools that also play a part and run under yet another account. But the main thing is that those default IIS accounts are local accounts, so they have no "visibility" to another computers. Hence when your app tries to connect to SQL Server, SQL "sees" the machine account, which goes by the name DOMAIN\MACHINE$.
Most likely, ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT is not set correctly on the server (i.e. either not set at all or not set to Production).
On your server, edit the system environment variables and add one (if it doesn't already exist) with the name ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT and the value Production. Also, edit the advanced settings of your app pool in IIS for the application and ensure that the key Load User Profile is set to True.
I have a simple VB.net console application that displays the current user, waits for key input, and then exits. It uses the following call to display the information:
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.Name.ToString()
If I create a remote app hosting this application, and create an azure user that has rights to run the remote app such as;
thisisa#test.onmicrosoft.com
When this user connects to the remote app the output of the line of code above would look something like;
YLSDAAYU0007\thisisa_000
Is there anyway of reading the user running the remoteapp at the time? in this case, I am looking to obtain thisisa#test.onmicrosoft.com ?
Catalin from the RemoteApp team here. You have stumbled across one of our implementation details here :)
Windows does not allow automatic login with Azure Active Directory (AAD) users: they only allow users that have Microsoft Accounts or domain accounts in case the collection is domain joined. We are working around this limitation by creating a local user on the VM and logging in with that user instead of the AAD user.

I have made application ASP.NET C# and my connection string is as follows:
<add name="ASPNETDB" connectionString="Server=tcp:MYDATA.database.windows.net,1433;Database=MYDATA;User ID=MYDATA;Password=MYDATA;Trusted_Connection=False;Encrypt=True;Connection Timeout=30;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
Now it doesn't work at all, I mean I can't connect to my SQL server on Azure at all. When I want to login nothing happens, when I want to register nothing happens too. I get exception when I press to update DB, ie Publish->Settings-> Check box "Update database" Configure database updates . It seems to me that it doesn't work at all. The exception is of following type:
Error 22 Web deployment task failed. (Could not deploy package.
Unable to connect to target server.

What should I do? Please help?
I would recommend logging into the azure management portal and re downloading the publish profile for the application. If you are not working using a publish profile , then at least re download the connection string that is setup for the app and the DB. while in there check that the application (web site or VM) is up and running, and that the database it is connected to is also up and running.
I had to set firewall rule 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255. Even though my firewall rule was set for my address, somehow it didn't register, because communication was relying to my website-DB and ip address of my website wasn't included there too. So I put rule as said before and now it works like a charm. :-)
I'm just in the process of trying to properly configure asp.net 4.5 on our IIS servers.
I have been able to navigate and launch an ASPX page that contains no data conenctions sucessfully so I know that the application pool authentication to the local directories is working as it should.
Now though I have a seperate SQL server that is connected to the domain and have a connection string stored in the code that connects the ASPX page to the server using a trusted connection. When running in visual studio debug mode, the connection works fine - but at that point I assume it is using my login credentials.
My question is, when a user calls the aspx page via the browser when hosted on the new IIS7 server, which account is used to call the SQL server when using a trusted connection? - Is it the end users or is it a local account from the IIS server?
When I call a page with data connections embedded I get the error: Login failed for user ADMIN\PCNAME$ ... which is an indication that this is the account that it is using. However this account doesn't exist on the domain that I'm aware of. - Or does it ?!
Thanks in advance,
It will use the account that ASP.NET is running under, as you've worked out. What you usually should do is create a Domain Account (with the right privileges) and run your ASP.NET AppPool under that account. Then a Trusted Connection will use that account for connecting to the database, and as long as you've given it access (which as a Domain Account you can do) it should all work.
Added:
After some back and forth on comments, lets go back to the start: set the new AppPool to run with the domain users account, and recycle the AppPoolo. What is it that says the password is wrong? If it's IIS trying to start the AppPool, then it is extremeny likely that the Password you gave the AppPool IS wrong, or else that the password is set to change on first logon.
If its not IIS, but opening a Database connection, are you sure that the database allows this Domain Account access to the database and the tables within it it will need? What roles have you assigned to this account? Also, what SQL statement is it trying to execute (if it's got far enough to try and execute a statement at all)?
I suggest you put any response in you original question - comments get to be a drag if there are too many of them.
I have a WCF service which I install via cmd line, due to installment on many servers!
When installing application pool and configuring it, I set a custom account on the process model identity, which is just an account with local administrator rights!
But when I try to browse the service just to see the front service page I get a Service Unavailable message with http error 503, which is a server error which again comes from an event id 5021, which states that the identity for the service's application pool is invalid due to either incorrect username/password or the user may not have batch logon rights.
Ergo, the error has to do with the user identity! When I change Identity to NetworkService there is no problem. I cannot either manually set the Identity to the user...
My cmd line looks like:
c:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\appcmd add apppool /name:"calendarproviderservice" ^
/autostart:"true" ^
/managedRuntimeVersion:"v4.0" ^
/processModel.idleTimeout:"24:00:00" ^
/enable32BitAppOnWin64:"true" ^
/processmodel.identitytype:"SpecificUser" ^
/processModel.userName:"PlannerAdmin"
Anyone has a clue...?
Cheers, Finn.
It's been a while, but I finally solved my problem! Unfortunately I didn't sketch the hole scenario in the main question because I didn't think it mattedered in the context. But it did!
The scenario was that my server was a deployed server with a base configuration including IIS 7.5! And this is the problem!
When you try to set the application pool identity to a domain account, IIS has to keep a local copy of your username and password. This is stored in IIS applicationHost.config in encrypted format. In the encryption IIS uses the machine specific keys in iisConfiguration and iisWasKey containers. When this applicationHost.config is moved to a different server (in this case the deployed server on new hardware), IIS can no longer decrypt the password because of the new machine keys.
One can export configuration Keys, but I already deleted the base server I made an image of!
So the lesson learned here is: If you have to deploy many servers with IIS on, make a base image WITHOUT IIS, and script the IIS on the server after deployment!!!
Cheers, Finn.
PS. Dominik, sorry that I wasn't that clear on the intro question!
Have you assigned the user to the local IIS_USRS group?
