KB3135749 - FIX: Incorrect group members are obtained when you run the xp_logininfo stored procedure in SQL Server 2012 or SQL Server 2014

Applies To
SQL Server 2012 Developer SQL Server 2012 Enterprise SQL Server 2012 Standard SQL Server 2014 Developer - duplicate (do not use) SQL Server 2014 Enterprise - duplicate (do not use) SQL Server 2014 Standard - duplicate (do not use)

Symptoms

Assume that you have a group on a global controller that has the same name as a group on a domain. When you run the xp_logininfo stored procedure in Microsoft in SQL Server 2012 or SQL Server 2014 to obtain information about the group, the information contains members of the wrong group.

For example, you have a forest, forest1.contoso.com, that contains two domains, dom1 and dom2.

Notes

  • There is a trust between the domains.
  • Both domains have a group that is named grp1.
  • Both domains have a login that is named login1.

        
You run the following in dom1:

EXEC xp_logininfo 'dom2\grp1','members'

In this situation, you get the following incorrect results.

account name type privilege mapped login name permission path
dom1\login1 user user dom1\login1 dom2\grp1

        
Typically, you would expect the following results.

account name type privilege mapped login name permission path
dom2\login1 user user dom2\login1 dom2\grp1
