I've been seeing and having a lot of issues setting up a fresh DNN 4 installation on a vanilla windows 2003, SQL Express 2005 installation. I havne't seen a lot of solutions though.

After getting constant connection string authorization issues, I decided to go this way:

<add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=INTRANET\SQLExpress;Database=DNN;uid=dnn;pwd=xyz1234;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Database=DNN;uid=dnn;pwd=xyz1234;"/>

This also didn't work until I changes the security properties of SQLExpress to SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode, restarted SQL Server and presto! I never like these trusted connections anyway, because they are hard to debug when things go wrong.

HTH,

Marc

I agree in principle.  I'm sure there's something I don't know yet about using the default string DNN ships with which uses the attachdbfilename and user instances.  I definitely did try several sources and there are definitely documented issues (not necessarily an MS issue but a local machine configuration issue) with SQL Express and these attached databases.  I'm still going to go back and see if I can get it to work that way--it might only be an install issue. 

For local XP install of 4.3.4, once I switched to this format, installation worked:

<add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;Database=DotNetNuke;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
