Hi,

I am trying to create a new login like this:

CREATE LOGIN [AAA\Sales] FROM WINDOWS WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE=[SalesINt], DEFAULT_LANGUAGE=[us_english]

and I am getting this error:

The server principal ‘AAA\Sales’ already exists.

This login doesn’t currently exist. AAA\Sales is a active directory distribution group. When I try to do the same thing on a different server, it works.

How I can create this user on my production sql server?

Thanks

Thanks so much,

EXEC sp_change_users_login ‘Auto_Fix’, ‘ColdFusion’, NULL, ‘cf’ save me a lot of time.
