Error 15401 when adding AD logins in upper case to a sql 2008 server

All,

 

The current setup is as follows:

SQL 2005 64bit v9.0.3054

Windows 2003 SP2

 

Problem: When trying to add an AD user to SQL, I receive error 15401

 

Background: The user's last name was recently changed and so all relevant AD fields were appropriately changed:

Lastname, Displayname, E-mail, UserLogonname, UserLogonname (pre-Windows 2000). The user's previous email account has not been changed except for additional email addresses to account for the new name and old name. Also note, the uses Exchange alias is still the previous account name.

 

When I enter the user's new account name into the Login Name field in SQL I recieve the 15401 error. When I do a search for the user's new account name SQL finds the previous account name and not the new one. I have reviewed KN 324321 and that article does not resolve this error. The user account can be found be only using the original account name and not the new one.

 

On the same SQL server, I opened the security settings for a folder and added the new user's account name and it was found. I then had it search for the user's old login name and it could not find it.

i was normally using VS2005 and SQL server 2005...

i upgraded to SQL Server 2008... and then...

i could not build my project anymore... because of this error:

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Server 2008 R2 -> Failed to decrypt using provider 'RsaProtectedConfigurationProvider'. Error mess

  

So I am using the aspnet_regiis.exe tool to encrypt sections of the web.config in my asp.net applications and services.  I have done this for years successfully on Windows Server 2003 (IIS 6).  However I just moved some apps over to Windows Server 2008 R2 (with IIS 7.5) and I am now receiving the following error at runtime:

"Server was unable to process request. ---> Failed to decrypt using provider 'RsaProtectedConfigurationProvider'. Error message from the provider: Bad Data."

Now I am quite familiar with this process and am stumped at what I have missed this time around.  I have done ALL of the following which typically suffices for the process on the server. PLEASE READ ALL AND DO NOT PROVIDE RESPONSES OR LINKS FOR THINGS I HAVE ALREADY DONE Thanks!! 

1. Imported the keys to the server using aspnet_regiis -pi  Result: Success
2. Given FULL permission (using -full switch) using aspnet_regiis -pa to ALL of the following accounts  Result: Success

1. Problem adding .NET 3.5.1 feature on Server 2008 R2

     
   Having an issue with a 2008 R2 64-bit Server becoming unresponsive/locking up when trying to activate the .NET 3.5.1 feature.  Did not have any previous version of .NET installed but ran the .NET Cleanup utility and completed successfully but still have same issue.  It installed .NET 4 via the Microsoft Updates OK but still hangs part way through the 3.5.1 install via the Server Manager/Add Features.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

SQL Server Network Interfaces Error 26 - while failing over SQL Server 2008 R2

  

Before I explain the issue I am facing, I would like to say that I did read the post at  http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sql_protocols/archive/2007/05/13/sql-network-interfaces-error-26-error-locating-server-instance-specified.aspx but in my case the problem is transient (lasts for approximately two minutes after a failover) so items 1-3 in the list of troubleshooting steps do not seem to make sense. As to 4 and 5, the named instances use non-default ports (2433 and 3433 respectively), so I do not know how to tailor the PortQry command for that. I tried  portqry.exe -n ServerA,2433-p UDP -e 1434 and  portqry.exe -n ServerA,2433 -p UDP -e 2434 and it failed both times with a "Failed to resolve name to IP address" while the server was up and serving database requests The same thing happened when I tried it with the failover server as well. ***The issue I am facing*** I am using Enterprise Library 4.1 to connect to a SQL Server 2008 R2 database with a mirror. My connection string itself is as below (with dummy values for all fields): "Data Source=ServerA;Failover Partner=ServerB;Initial Catalog=DBName;User ID=uid;Password=pwd;Connect Timeout=5" Sample .NET code is as below (with modifications to instantiate all variables locally to provide context): SqlDatabase db = new SqlDatabase(ConnectionString); SqlConnection cn = (SqlConnection)db

After installing Visual Studio 2010, I found that I could no longer open SQL Management Studio.  I could not even uninstall them because the uninstall was dying.   So I manually removed sql server from my system and now I am trying to install SQL Server 2008 R2 Express.
