On a Server 2008 R2 install sits a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP1) - 10.50.2500.0 (X64) that was kept running only to access previous medical records as the company migrated to new software and servers, but medical records need to be kept for 7 years. on 2/15/21 I see this in the log file, Running SQL Server 2005 SP2 to SQL Server 2008 upgrade script, and a large series of events. Fast-forward a few months and an Audit pops up plus a product recall and the old database and program need to be accessed. Now when a user attempts to log into the program the user gets rejected for not being a user and the log records the error above.
The original software company wants extortion money to get their old software up and running and I have been tasked with trying to get the software going. Can someone help me get around this error?
I'm thinking permissions and or groups... I am NOT an expert in any of this!!
