CopyMove_Troubleshooting_DatabaseConnectionError
CAUSE

You have logged in to the SharePoint server with a Windows account that does not have full access to the SharePoint configuration database.

RESOLUTION

Log out of the SharePoint server and log in again with the credentials of a user having full access to the SharePoint configuration database. If possible, use the same account as used by the IIS application pool account for the SharePoint Central Administration Web site. Alternatively, login as domain administrator if you have the password to this account.
