Generating user instances in SQL server is disabled use sp_configure user instances enabled to generate user instance.

User instances are useful for users who are running Windows under a least-privilege user account (LUA) because each user has SQL Server system administrator (sysadmin) privileges over the instance running on her computer without needing to run as a Windows administrator as well.

To enable user instances, do as follows

1. Open the SQL Server Management Studio Express.
2. In the query editor type this text: exec sp_configure 'user instances enabled', 1.
Then type: Reconfigure.
3. Then restart the SQL Server database.
