EF 4.1 - Problem accessing DB from same app on different machines

I have deployed an application that uses EF to the same server as my DB. Obviously the first time I ran the app on the server the DB was created - no problems.

However, when I attempt to run the same application from my local machine using the same connection string / login details as the instance running on the server, I get this exception saying the model has changed, although it hasn't:

The model backing the 'EkmDomainsDbContext' context has changed since the database was created. Either manually delete/update the database, or call Database.SetInitializer with an IDatabaseInitializer instance. For example, the DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges strategy will automatically delete and recreate the database, and optionally seed it with new data.

I assume this is something to do with the EdmMetadata table, but I am not sure exactly what. Can anyone shed any light on this problem?

Existing databases do not generally need any database initializer so it can be turned off for your context type by calling:

Database.SetInitializer<YourDataContext>(null);
