You cannot create an Authorization Manager SQL store in a SQL Server 2008 R2 database that has a case-sensitive collation in Windows Server 2008 R2, in Windows 7, in Windows Vista, or in Windows Server 2008

Applies To
Windows 7 Enterprise Windows 7 Professional Windows 7 Ultimate Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Windows Server 2008 R2 Foundation Windows Server 2008 R2 for Itanium-Based Systems Windows Vista Business Windows Vista Business 64-bit Edition Windows Vista Enterprise Windows Vista Enterprise 64-bit Edition Windows Vista Ultimate Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit Edition Windows Server 2008 Datacenter Windows Server 2008 Datacenter without Hyper-V Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Windows Server 2008 Enterprise without Hyper-V Windows Server 2008 for Itanium-Based Systems Windows Server 2008 Foundation Windows Server 2008 Standard Windows Server 2008 Standard without Hyper-V

Symptoms

Consider the following two scenarios:

Scenario 1

  • You have a computer that is running one of the following operating systems:

    • Windows Vista
    • Windows Server 2008
    • Windows 7
    • Windows Server 2008 R2
  • You select an existing SQL database to create an Authorization Store in the Authorization Manager.

  • The specified SQL database has a case-sensitive collation.

Scenario 2

  • You have a computer that is running one of the following operating systems:

    • Windows Vista
    • Windows Server 2008
    • Windows 7
    • Windows Server 2008 R2
  • You select a nonexistent SQL database to create an Authorization Store in the Authorization Manager. In this case, the Authorization Manager creates the specified SQL database by using the same collation as the instance of SQL Server.

  • The instance of SQL Server has a case-sensitive collation.

In these two scenarios, the operation fails, and you receive an error message that resembles the following:

Note

Cannot create a new authorization store. The following problem occurred: Access is denied.

Cause

This issue occurs because the SQL script that is used by Authorization Manager does not support the case-sensitive SQL table names or column names.

Resolution

Note The authorization store that cannot be created because of this issue is in an intermediate state in the SQL database. After you install the hotfix, you cannot use the intermediate authorization store. You have to remove the failure authorization store from the SQL database and create a new authorization store.
