Cannot access the database

  • Hello there,

    I have a problem.

    On the sql server there are like 10 databases already existing, i created a login and assigned serveradmin role to the login. I am able to connect to the server but cannot access any of the databases. When i try to expand in the object explorer or in management studio it says " access denied".

    I understand that the login is not mapped to any of the databases as a user but what i believe is when i assigned serveradmin role to the login it should be able to do anything on the server including accessing the databases.

    What should i do to resolve this problem?

    Thankx

  • Which OS are you using? Which SQL Server edition/version

  • do you get the same error when connected using SA

  • it's a windows 2003 server enterprise OS and sql server 2005 enterprise edition.

    I do not have access to connect with sa login.

    Thankx
