Hi all,

I have a question where I hope to receive here an answer...I consider from a expert...

What's the problem....!

I have a DNN 4.3.5 production envorinment running on a Windows 2003 Enterprise server with IIS 6.0, Framework.NET 2.0 and SQL Server 2005 installed.

On another server with the same configuration, and both in the same domain, I want to copy only the production DNN database to this server..

With Studio Management Studio I made a copy from the database from the production server to the other server.
Quite easy with the task copy database in SMS, only take care of the same rights on both servers. Not the local system or Network service account... Create a user with the correct rights and change the service account for SQL

I only copied the database with logins, nothing else like SSIS package (maybe this is the problem).

I changed the webconfig, only the server name in the connection string and restart the webapplication. I stopped the SQL services on the productionserver !! to ensure DNN connects to the remote database location.

Now DNN can't connect with the Database. I changed the SQL setting to mixed authentication. This doesn't work either. I tried several configurations, create a extra user for connecting in Windows and later in SA accounts. Changed several times the webconfig file but nothing helps... Whats going on....I tried several configs...

I also read the DNN docs about webfarms and installation again (I tought I knew them enough ??)

It's maybe now the easiest way to copy the DNN installation also to the other server, but this is not what I want...

Does anyone can give advise...
