+You need to change the default settings on the database by running::
+
+ ALTER DATABASE <databasename> SET READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT ON;
+
+The ALTER DATABASE command above requires some permissions that your

+run the query for you. 
+

+query which must return '1'::
+
+   SELECT is_read_committed_snapshot_on 
+     FROM sys.databases WHERE name='<databasename>';
