Folks, this morning I was forced to perform a big switch-over to a pair of new Win2008 R2 domain controller and file/web/sql server machines.
I have found that SQL Server Management Studio on the workstation machines does not have permission to access the databases when I use Windows Authentication. If I use 'sa' then there is no problem. If I try to open a database node in Object Explorer I get: The database XXXXX is not accessible. (ObjectExplorer) Procmon on the server shows me that NETWORK SERVICE does not have read permission on the LDF and MDF files, but If I give it full control, it has no effect. If I add Authenticated Users it fixes the procmon warnings but has no effect upon the problem. I'm unable to find a point of blame for this problem. I don't know if it's the NTFS permissions, some security or roles in SQL Server, or some domain user/group problem. Any ideas anyone? I'm stuffed. Greg
