We have just changed from a workgroup to a domain running SBS 2012 and SQL Server 2008R2. The problem I have is when logged in as a domain user my application connects to the server but only returns some of the data.

If I use the same computer and log in as the old local user (same user name and password as the domain account) it works fine.

I have added the domain user name as sysadmin in SQL Server and it still only returns some of the data. I know the obvious answer is just to use the local accounts but then we wont be able to use the exchange email and other functions in the domain.

I have tried everything I can think of and spent 3 days searching through SQL forums and found no answer yet.

Is there any rhyme or reason to why the data is subsetted? Does it provide consistent, if incorrect, results? You are running the same query against the same database, right? Have you fully qualified your tables' schemas? I could see something like localuser.Table1 and domainuser.Table1 existing with different data in there and if your default schema is set to each of those, then a lazy query of select * from Table1 would yield the "wrong" results. – billinkc Jan 23 at 16:52

Also, how are you evaluating your result set? Through SSMS? Custom application? Some other management interface? – swasheck Jan 23 at 17:10
billinkc, that may well be the problem, I have no access to the application code to check, unfortunately the developer who wrote the application passed away 2 years ago and the code died with him. Is there any other way of checking? – Mark Jan 24 at 9:13
Have you tried using the domain accounts to query from SSMS? – Zane Jan 24 at 13:57
This query would determine whether there are any tables with the same name in different schemas SELECT T.* FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES AS T INNER JOIN ( SELECT T.TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES AS T GROUP BY T.TABLE_NAME HAVING COUNT(1) > 1 ) DUPE(table_name) ON DUPE.table_name = T.TABLE_NAME – billinkc Jan 25 at 21:40
