In addition while attaching your old database on a new platform using SQL server management studio, you hit a roadblock http://www.encodedna.com/2013/11/unable-to-open-physical-file-sql-server-error.htm in the form of an error. It says Unable to open the physical file https://dbamohsin.wordpress.com/2009/06/03/attaching-database-unable-to-open-physical-file-access-is-denied/ – Operating system error 5. Though very annoying, it clearly points to a message, Access is denied. We have tested this scenario on Windows 7 using SQL Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2012 Express database. The database, which we are trying to attach, is from a previous version. It is clearly an issue with permissions granted to operating system users and administrator accessing the computer. The administrator by default will have full control on files and folders, whereas users may or may not have the necessary permissions. If you have logged in to your computer as an “USER” and not as an “ADMINISTRATOR” then you need to follow these steps to fix the problem. 01) Right click the “.mdf” file and choose “Properties”. 02) In the properties dialog box, select the operating system error “Security” tab, which will show you a list of “Group or user names”. Each group and user names in list will have specific “permissions” assigned to them. 03) Click the “Edit...” button, which will open the “Permissions” dialog box. You need to find “Users (…” from the list and select it by clicking it. 04) You can now either “Allow” or “Deny” necessary permissions to the users according to their privileges. We suggest you check the option “Allow” for “Full control” and click the “Apply” button. 05) Repeat the same procedure with the “.log” file too. Both “.mdf” and “.log” files should have similar permissions. 06) Finally try to attach the database on your new SQL server database. Conclusion This is not a very serious issue and can be addressed and solved with ease, but sometimes these little errors does take away precious time and can also be frustrating while migrating from an older platform (version) to a newer one.

Operating system error 5: (Access is denied.). This is more often than not an issue with permissions and windows level security. The permissions on the S:\ and T:\ seem a bit odd in that the server Admins overall have full control on the drives but not of some individual DB’s within the drives. However, when looking at individual files within the S:\ Drive I can see that some of the data files don’t have the correct permissions filtered down to them. The reason additional permissions are needed is when a DB is reattached it inherits the Owner as the person attaching the file. To fix, I did the following: Added the Administrators Group to the file security permissions with full control for the Data file (S:\) and the Log File (T:\). Attached the database and it works fine. I did some more digging and think I may have resolved the security problem without manually editing each file Check the tick box and then click ok. Click Yes and this will propagate permissions on to each file. After I did this, I was able to attach databases without any issues.
