Connection Failed

SQL 2000
Windows 2000 sp4

I have created a group called "queryonly" in Active Directory. I have
added myself to this group. When I attempt to create an ODBC connection
to the SQL server I get "connection failed".

When I add myself explicity (ie domain\user) it connects fine.

Why is the group not working? I want to cut down on some
administration.

Thanks.

Hi Justin,

Make sure that you log off and then log in after adding yourself to the
group. Sounds stupid, but it seems to work for me :)
