i’m currently trying to make a asp.net mvc3 app. in the sample application which is generatet when i create the project, there is a user management.

the problem is, now the app created a database in my App_Data folder, but i want to have it on my external sqlexpress server.

but i dont know how to change the app so that it works. i just have the following things from my server:

i know that i have to edit the connection string in the Web.config, but must i also change some things at the sql server?

because there are no tables, its empty. does the mvc3 create all automatically?
