Create user dialogue not working in SQL Server Management Studio - tsql

I'm trying to create some users in SSMS without having to script them manually.
However, when I follow the directions laid out in documentation, I don't get a dialogue. Rather, I get a script-to window, and an SQL template.
Why is SSMS giving me a template here, rather than showing the dialogue/wizard?

You are probably using an Azure SQL Database.
Currently this is an Azure SQL limitation. More information can be found here on azure.microsoft.com or here on Microsoft docs.
When creating a new login with the following SSMS menu item on an Azure SQL database:
the following template script is generated:
while the following dialog window appears when using an on premise database:

Empty Build Tables When Connecting Power BI to Azure Devops 2019 via OData Feed

We are using Azure Devops 2019 on-premises. I am trying to pull in Build data into PowerBI via OData as described here:
https://gordon.byers.me/azure/reporting-on-devops-build-pipelines-with-powerbi/
Here are a couple more examples:
https://colinsalmcorner.com/azure-devops-build-and-test-reports-using-odata-and-rest-in-powerbi/
https://wouterdekort.com/2019/09/12/measuring-your-way-around-azure-devops/
When I connect to our server, I see the various tables but anything build related is empty:
If I execute either of the following queries through Microsoft Edge, I see that everything should be available:
https://tfsvr2.<org>/tfs/DefaultCollection/<Name>/_odata/v3.0-preview/
https://tfsvr2.<org>/tfs/DefaultCollection/<Name>/_odata/v3.0-preview/$metadata
I know that at some point, I think December 2019, Microsoft changed the Entity Property names in v3.0-preview and is currently on v4.0-preview. However, since we're on premises, haven't updated anything, and the schema seems correct, I'm at a loss as to why Builds (and releated tables such as BuildPipelines) are empty.

Unable to configure TFS backup using Backup wizard

When trying to configure the TFS 2010 backup using the TFS Power Tools I kept running into teh following error message:
Account TFS\tfsadmin failed to create backups using path \\tfs-xxxxxxx.local\TFSBackups
The strange thin is that TFS\TFSAdmin has full permissions on both share and file system and that the share path doesn't contain any spaces (thanks for MSDN forums for pointing that out).
I tried backing up through the SQL Server Management Studio, and sure, there the backups fail too.
It turns out that while the backup job is started using the account specified in the Create Backup Wizard of the TFS Power Tools, SQL Server will try to write the files to the share using its own service account.
So in addition to whomever needs access to the share, you need to add the service account running SQL Server to that share as well. In this case it was running under NETWORK SERVICE, so adding MACHINENAME$ to the share's list of permitted users did wonders.

SQL Service Broker creating objects in SQL Server Database Project in VS 2012

So I've started a SQL Server database project inside VS 2012. I have done this for other databases already but not related to Service Broker.
For testing I had already created db, queues, etc through a T-SQL script including Message Types which was in an XML format. i.e.
[//blah.com/Items/RequestItem]
When I try to do something like this in the DB Project it's not allowing me too due to special chars.
Anyone done this? Gotten around it?
Is there a way to simply put my already created T-SQL file in the database project and have it use it?
See my comment above. I was able to import the script by Right clicking on the database Project.

How can I create & edit database of Sql Azure using SQL Server 2008 - R2

I have sql azure database and to create and edit database using portal is very boring task due to it' user interface, when i will connect it with my local sql server R2 then i can not able to edit , create table from there.
Is there any way to make it possible , Please give me some solution for that
At this time, the two options available are the web user interface (which will be improved over time) and SQL Server Mgmt Studio (using queries; no user interface) for which SQL Azure support will also improve over time.
After all i found one 3rd party client to manage SQL Azure and that is RazorSQL- Awesome tool! I have write down about it in my blog, see here
Navicat is a commercial application that offers access.

Personally I vastly prefer it to the Microsoft web interface

Is there an easy way to set up ASP.NET Membership tables in a custom Database?

ASP.NET Membership is just great as there are a ton of functionality right there to be used, and we don't need to change nothing at all.
We can even create our own Provider based on Membership database, and that give us infinite possibilities, like as I don't like the Question/Answer I just use an email that is sent with a reset link.
But this is all done with SQLEXPRESS .mdf file and I wanted to use my own Database for this so I can use SQL Server Enterprise as we have in the Office and not the Express Edition.
How can I easily use the ASP.NET Membership tables in my own Database?
I rememebered some years ago that we needed to use aspnet_reg (something) to create the correct tables, but I can't find that info anymore.
I also tried to use other Membership Providers, namely Altairis.Web.Security from CodePlex and saw the Chris Pels Video on creating a new Membership Provider
On Altairis solution, the Model is not complete and lack several points such as Several Applications as it's made to be used with only one, and Chris Pels contains to much Store Procedures that I need to create by hand.
I'm for given Chris code a go but I just wanted to know if there would be available something easier.
All this is to be integrated in ASP.NET MVC 2 Web Application.
Thanks
You have 3 options:
Do it by running aspnet_regsql.exe: Just open "Start Menu>All Programs>Microsoft Visual Studio 2010>Visual Studio Tools>Visual Studio Command Prompt(2010)" and then type aspnet_regsql. A wizard appears and let you select your desired database.
Do it via API: Use System.Web.Management.SqlServices class and its Install and Uninstall methods. This will programmatically install/uninstall database artifacts.
Do it manually: Go to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 or something like. You will find 9 .sql files that begins with Install and 9 .sql files that begins with uninstall. You can run them manually in your database to create needed tables/store procedures/etc. But consider changing database name in sql scripts. Default db name is aspnetdb.
It's aspnet_regsql
Under the following path:
C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regsql
You need to open up the Visual Studio Command Prompt, navigate to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\\aspnet_regsql.exe . Some example are located in the MSDN documentation.
Example: aspnet_regsql.exe -E -S localhost -A mr - installs the database elements for membership and role management on the local computer running SQL Server using Windows authentication.
