Creating a custom ASPNET provider Database

Hi,

I created a MemberShip and Role provider link in the web.config file to
point to a server database. But when I initially used the WebSite
Administration Tool, it created the membership/role/profile providers tables
and stored procedures in an local file: ASPNETDB.MDF. How can I recreate
these database files in my server provider database.

One time, I exported the local DB and imported into the server DB, but is an
utility to create a fresh provider files on the alternative DB ?

Thanks,
King

You can use the command line tool to create the tables.

To link the website admin tool to the database, set up the proper
connection string before running the tool again (just "correct" the
connection string). If you do this, and did not run the command line tool,
it should connect and create the tables anyway.

A pain? Yes. The default wants to put things in SQL Express, even if you
have another instance installed.

Peace and Grace,
