NT group users not recognized

  • I created an NT group Test_R under the domain. Then I added two users under this group, say user1 and user2. Then, from Enterprise Manager, I click Security folder of a server, say Saturn, and gave db_datareader to this group for a database, say Test.

    The problem now is that when user1 or user2 click tables from Enterprise Manager, it pop up a window saying invalid user. How is it possible ? Any idea ? Please help.

    Thanks...Jimmy

  • Try this:

    Create a local windows group on a server and add the already existing domain group into the local group.  Then, via the EM give access to the local group  and place it into db_datareader role.

  • I found out the problem. It was because user1 and user2 were still logged on. Any security changes I made to NT will not take effect until user1/user2 log off and log back again.
