Strange login connectivity issue

  • Hello All,

    I’m facing some strange issue  when troubleshooting  the user connectivity issue.

    User not able to connect to SQL Server but he can able to RDP to the machine ,however user id is already part of AD domain group with enough permission on the database instance.so there is no issue with AD level

    But still user not able to connect to the Database and getting the below error message ,even user tried with runas administrator but no luck..

    Login failed for user ‘Microsoft\DBA’ . Reason: Token-based server access validation failed with an infrastructure error. Check for previous errors. [CLIENT: <local machine>]

    Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 11.

    Please kindly let me know how to troubleshoot this issue further (Pls don’t say its UAC part)

    Thanks in advance!!

    Best Regards,

    SQL server DBA

    SQL Server access doesn't really have any correlation to RDP access, other than that proves the user can reach the server over the network.
    I've typically seen this specific error when the user trying to connect to SQL Server using Windows authentication doesn't have a login setup or an AD group they belong to setup as a login for the SQL Server instance.
    Try running this command in the database the user is trying to access to see if it returns a mapped login name and a permission path:
    exec xp_logininfo N'Microsoft\DBA','all'
