After creating a database file in Visual studios server explorer earlier this month my domain name of my computer was chaned (lets say previously is was OLDDOMAIN and now it is NEWDOMAIN) After my domain name had changed i am now unable to access any of my database files. I am also unable to create any new database files from Visual studios server explorer.
The error message i am getting is:
Login failed for user: 'NEWDOMAIN\GLEN'
How can i access my old database files (.mdf) or create a new one from within the visual studios server explorer?
N.B. My Authentication is set to Windows only.
You will need to Log in as a system administrator into the database server and give your new user the correct access you require. If you don’t have a local user or an SA type account; you might need to log in as your old domain user to give your new domain user that permission.
If you don’t have that permission; create new database server on your machine and attach the database files; (take a backup of the originals) you should then be able to access your content again.
