Login failed for user 'IIS APPPOOL\ASP.NET v4.0'

Answer 1

I did exactly as @JeffOgata said but I got the error:

Windows NT user or group 'IIS APPPOOL\ASP.NET v4.0' not found. Check the name again. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15401)

I looked at my error message again and it said Login failed for user 'IIS APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool'.

After adding a user named IIS APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool everything worked.
