This sounds like SQL Express with User Instance=true in the connection string. This has to be enabled in the SQLExpress options.

The other thing you need to make sure of is to make sure that the account that you are connecting to SQL with has a local user profile. So Network Service is not a user that you can use with Integrated Security=True.

To enable User Instances attach to the SQL Express instance and run

sp_configure 'user instances enabled','1'
