stsadm unable to connect to sharepoint database

July 12th, 2006 // 12:54 pm @

I ran across this problem today when I tried to run stsadm and kept on getting an error saying that it is unable to connect to the configuration database. I was able to go thru the site and the central admin pages successfully, but this problem was happening only when accessing via stsadm.


You need to give you current logged user access to the SharePoint databases. I found a very nice explaination about this problem on Mitch Milam’s site. Thanks Mitch.

"Amar clearly has a thorough knowledge of Sharepoint, this knowledge, coupled with his professionalism and dedication made him a tremendous asset to the project. He was the key contributor to the later stages of the project delivery effort (the really difficult bit, long hours and hard work that puts huge demands on people), and I can state categorically that without his focussed dedication and hard work we would not have been able to meet the timescales imposed upon the project."
