Is there a way to migrate the dbo.aspnet_* databases from 1 application to another. I have tried but when I do I get a database error on the applicationId field. I have a user database with over 1500 users and I do not want to have them all re-register in the new application. Any suggestions?

Tried it, failed, took more time than it was worth, decided to make users do their own.

I was going to start a new thread for my question, but I think what I am trying to accomplish is basically what the OP was trying to do here.

We have an existing Users database (standard db created from a MVC .NET app/SqlMembershipProvider, has all the aspnet_* tables) and we want to use it for a new DNN site. Is this possible, and if so, can someone point me in the right direction?

What I've tried so far is to install DNN to a new db. Then, edit the web.config for the site to add a connection string to my Users db and have the DNN web.config point to my conn string for the <AspNetSqlMembershipProvider> element, modify the <machineKey> element to match my other app's (the app that the Users db is a part of), and changed the "applicationName" to match what is referenced in the Users db. This has kind of worked, as any new users that are registered appear in my Users db (aspnet_Users, for instance), but I can't login with any new or existing users.

So, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

we actually added a setting (InstallMemberRole) for this when we first moved to using the Microsoft memberrole setup in DotNetNuke 3, as we imagined that this could be a common request - however it never really caught on and I can't honestly remember someone trying the setup in years, but it may be worth you having a go. To try it first ensure you have a safe copy of your existing site database. Now, create an IIS website with an install version of DNN in it - before installing, edit the web.config and point both connection strings to the database with the aspnet_* tables, and also ensure that you set InstallMemberRole to false - in theory when you do the install it will skip the part where we build the aspnet_* tables but perform the rest of the install as normal. I'd be interested in knowing if this works as I had a quick look at the code and didn't notice any user table imports, but perhaps I missed them
