Anibal writes "Hi,

We are currently using NT Authentication to gain access to the SQL Server through client/server VB apps. Our Network Team creates the group on the domain and adds the users to that domain group. We then add the domain group to the SQL Server. Every now and then a user in the group is denied access. If we explicitly define the user, it works fine. Any idea why SQL Server is not seeing the user as part of the group?

Thanks"

When you say "explicitly define the user", do you mean this:
domain\username
?

Yes. And for groups we use domain\groupname.

Thanks

This sounds more like an NT security problem than a SQL Server problem. The next time you are denied access, I suggest logging into the SQL Server with a username in that group and see if it lets you login without explicitly defining the user.

Thanks for your reply. I can try that. But I know that users in the group can access the server without any problems and just one user who is getting denied belongs to the same group. I think I may have our server guys call MS for this one.

Thanks again.

What error are they getting? Is it login failed, or something else?

I'm pretty sure its "Access Denied", but I'm not 100% sure
