I am running VS 2012 pro and deploying on as SBS Server 2012.    In order to isolate this issue, I put VS 2012 pro on the server and with it, I can run the application in debug mode with no problem.   once I try to start it from outside the server, I get the login page which uses aspnetdb.mdf.   Once I press enter, it gives me this error.   

Is there a way I can isolate the resource it is not finding?

I went to Microsoft TechNet and I have been unable to find where these IIS error logs might be.   In my IIS Manager, I can't find a view error logs.   Sorry that I am such a newby

I did find under Windows Logs an error "Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path.   Please make sure the user has a local user profile on the computer."  

How do I establish a local user profile on the server for all of my users?

Hi,

I went to Microsoft TechNet and I have been unable to find where these IIS error logs might be.  

If you want to find the IIS log, you could follow this step:

From the Start menu, click Run. In the Open box, type intmgr;

Type intmgr at the command prompt, and press ENTER;

open IIS window, click default web site in the left side;

double click the Logging in the middle window;

You will find the location to place IIS error log. Generally IIS error log saves in "C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles"

hope it helps you,

With regards
