KIRAN writes "Hi ,

This is kiran from india.

I work in ABC organization and we have 2000 AD.

We have created Global Groups and users are added.

We have create Server Domain local Groups and added them to Server Local Group

We have assigned SQL-2000 permissions to Server Local Groups.

And global users are not able to get the required access to their roles assigned..

Please suggest.

We tried to add the Global Group to Server Local group and it works."

have you added the global user group in sql?

if yes, have you applied the required permissions?

if yes, are the machines of your global user group allowed to connect to the server? - possible firewall issue

Try this (of which you have done but perhaps in the wrong order)

1. Create a Domain Group (global group).
2. Create a local group on your server.
3. Add your domain group into the local group on your server. (global groups into local groups).
4. Add the local group (which was just populated with the global/domain group) in SQL.
5. Assign appropriate privilages to the local group that you just added to SQL under logins.

skip #2 and 3, users do not need to be included in the windows local group
to access the sql server, and it is dangerous to do so unless the windows user is the sql service account, in which case it should be a member of the local admin group

--edit
for #4, directly pick up the domain group in SQL

Microsoft recommends that global groups be added into local groups. There's no need to be part of the local admin group. Your domain policy will control the user's permissions! Even if the users were to be local admins a DBA would remove the Built-in admin option anyway as standard practice. If Built-in admins was left with Grant access then he has a major security issue!

Besides he's aready tried skipping those 2 steps and it didn't work.
