I have created a Visual Studio 2010 ASP.NET Web Application. I’ve noticed that if you change the line

 <add name="ApplicationServices" connectionString="data source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|\aspnetdb.mdf;User Instance=true" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

to attach a database of your choosing if it hasn’t been created yet, membership services will create it for you. For instance if you change “aspnetdb.mdf” to what ever “mynewdb.mdf” when that database file does not exist it will get created and tables etc will be generated.

If I have a remote sql server, all I know is Server Name: ATLAS-SQL-07 and I have the username and password to access the database. How do I then get membership services to auto generate the tables and stored procedures in that database?

    Check out the tutorial creating-the-membership-schema-in-sql-server-cs found on asp.net.

    Note: in this tutorial when it asks for the server you give it the fully qualified web path for your server. This information should be provided in your hosting account web portal.

    This quote from msdn.microsoft.com may also give you more insight into what you are wanting to do.

    The ASP.NET SQL Server Registration tool is used to create a Microsoft
    SQL Server database for use by the SQL Server providers in ASP.NET, or
    to add or remove options from an existing database. The
    Aspnet_regsql.exe file is located in the
    [drive:]\%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\version folder on your Web
    server.

    You can run Aspnet_regsql.exe without any command-line arguments to
    run a wizard that will walk you through specifying connection
    information for your SQL Server installation, and installing or
    removing the database elements for the membership, role management,
    profile, Web Parts personalization, and health monitoring features.

    It seems that your host does not allow remote connection. http://www.123-reg.co.uk/support/answers/Hosting/Databases/how-do-i-connect-remotely-to-my-database-778/

    However, after further research you should be able to import the database in. Therefore, you can create the databse properly locally and import everything use the interface provided by your host. http://www.123-reg.co.uk/support/answers/Databases/Windows-MSSQL/how-do-i-import-export-a-mssql-database-793/
