Error : Cannot create file 'E:\NikiniINT\App_Data\aspnet-Nikini_Intranet_002-20141204101622.mdf' because it already exists. Change the file path or the file name, and retry the operation. CREATE DATABASE failed. Some file names listed could not be created. Check related errors.

I have removed initial catalog part from connectionStrings.

Seems like you're using Entity Framework. Run the following command in Nuget Package manager to enable the migrations. "Enable-Migrations" this will enable the migration that will prevent the changes to be migrated via drop and create mechanism. The drop and create DbInitializers causes this issue if the drop failed.
