I ran into an issue that I could not resolve for two days and, with the help of MS, it is finally resolved. It was enough of a thorn in my side that I thought I should post it online in hopes that it will help some resolve it a lot faster. The error: sql server The server principal 'A' is not able to access the database 'B' under the current security context (Microsoft SQL Server, Error:916) The issue: This issue occurs with SQL Server 2008 RC0 tools. Using SQL authentication, I could connect to database engine but I could not expand the ‘Databases’ node. It would result in the error above. The issue is with SQL Server Management Studio itself, not the database engine or any other aspect the server principal of SQL Server. I could connect to the SQL installation from another server running SQL Server 2008 RC0, using SQL authentication, and expand the ‘Databases’ node without any errors. But I couldn’t connect locally using SQL authentication. In a nutshell: Server A – While logged in locally on Server A, I could not connect and expand the ‘Databases’ node successfully using SQL authentication. Server B – I could connect to the SQL instance on Server A and expand the ‘Databases’ node using SQL authentication successfully. Based on my current understanding of the issue at hand, there are several work-a-rounds to correct this issue. Hopefully, one of them will work for you.
