Windows AD Group >> Sysadmins SQL Server 2005

  • Hi there Everyone,

    I have a Windows AD group call DB1SysAdmins

    I put freddag into the DB1SysAdmins AD Group

    I Add the DB1SysAdmins Login to DB1 (sql server 2005)

    I add the DB1SysAdmins login into the server role "Sysadmin"

    When I log onto Management studio as Freddag, it hasn't given me Sysadmin access. I run the is_rolemeber??? logged on as freddag and it returns 0..

    If I add servers\freddag as a sql login and add this user into the sysadmin it works OK..

    can you someone please clarify what i'm doing wrong?

    cheers:-P

  • Have you logged on as Freddag after adding him to the AD group? His token won't include that he is a member of that group until it is regenerated, which is essentially at login.

  • Thanks, yea I logged off as that user and logged on again and it pickup the sysadmin role.

    thanks
