List Windows Groups Membership from SQL

Ever wanted to see who was in a windows group?

As a SQL DBA, I used to be able to see this kind of information using SQL 2000, but that part of the GUI got left behind in SQL 2005/2008, however, there is a stored procedure that you can use to see this information:

xp_logininfo 'BUILTIN\Administrators', 'members'

This lists all the users who belong to a given group, in this example, it lists the members of the Administrators group, good stuff to know if you need to know just who can administer the SQL box that your Dynamics GP / Great Plains is running on!

Can't Login After Moving Databases to New Server

If you ever move your Great Plains databases from one server to another, make sure you do the following:

use master
go
GRANT EXEC ON smDEX_Max_Char TO PUBLIC
GRANT EXEC ON smDEX_Build_Locks TO PUBLIC


I've been burned more than once by forgetting these. Without them, you can't login and you'll pull your hair out because everything looks right (and indeed is right!) security setup-wise.

Having trouble logging in after a server move? Try this and see if it helps!
