1) Open a command-line window on your system and run the aspnet_regsql.exe utility that is installed with ASP.NET 2.0 in under your C:\\WINDOWS\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v2.0.xyz directory. If you will be using Framework 4.0. Go into that directory. More instructions are here: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2005/08/25/423703.aspx . Make sure you go into the database and setup the RoleProvider data for each user.

2) is the database where you have created the asp.net tables with aspnet_regsql.exe the same as your connectionstring OleConnectionStringSource? Here are more details: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.security.sqlmembershipprovider.aspx

3) You can configure your datasource in web.config as described or use the Website Administration Tool that changes your web.config automatically.
