Answer 1

You may have to run aspnet_regsql.exe in order to get your schema values populated. You can hard-code the values as well as long as you have all of the generated objects (tables, views, sproc's, etc..

The steps i took to resolve this which worked was:

re-ran aspnet_regsql.exe ensured the default values where there restarted IIS.

Then it worked..

But if you just copy the database schema without the values, you need to run 'aspnet_regsql.exe' in order to populate the default values.
