Re: Windows NT user or group "XX" not found

Hi
Does the login exist in SQL Server? What is authentication you set up on
your machine? Is it Windows Only or Mixed one?

Hello,

I'm attempting to use sp_grantlogin in a custom application installer
that I'm building, and I'm having a problem.

On a Windows Server 2003 PDC, if I invoke sp_grantlogin with an
argument of "pdc.testdomain.com\username" (the argument is actually in
brackets), I get the following error:

"Windows NT user or group 'pdc.testdomain.com\username' not found.
Check the name again."

Oddly enough, if I use the NetBIOS domain name in the form of
"pdc\username", it works.

What I need to know is - why? I've scoured through the "normal" MS
knowledge base articles on this particular error, and nothing seems to
fit. Am I overlooking something obvious here?

- MR
