Case sensitivity error!

Hi,
1] I have a domain user group 'Domain_name \my group' added into my SQL
Server.
2] When I execute the following code ..
if not exists (select * from master.dbo.syslogins where loginname = N'Domain_name\My Group')
exec sp_grantlogin N'Domain_name\My Group'
exec sp_defaultdb N'Domain_name\My Group', N'master'
exec sp_defaultlanguage N'Domain_name\My Group', N'us_english'
GO
I receive a error..
Error 15401
Windows NT user or group 'Domain_name\My Group not found.
Check the name again.
I just changed the code where ever *My Group* was there to *my group* then
the query was success.
I have gone through the article below but it dint answer my doubt.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q245768/
The server collation is Latin1_General_BIN
What is happening and what is the other way if I dont have to modify the code?
Thanks
ReddiYou have a binary collation (very unusual, btw) which is also case sensitive.

I'm not completely sure about this, but it looks as if the BIN collation
means that you're dealing with a SQLServer instance which is case sensitive.
It's rare that this is required, as Windows isn't case sensitive.
As for turning SQLServer from case sensitive to case insensitive, I've never
tried it. I'd be surprised if it were possible though...

You need to rebuild the system databases using rebuildm.exe, which means you lose all stuff in the
system databases. Also, this doesn't change the collation for the user databases.

Thanks for the response. Correct me if i am off track. If the issue is with
collaltion (case sensitivity), SQL server should not have allowed adding the
Windows NT group with wrong case in the first place as pointed by me in the
URL.
I have other server with same collation settings but it has Windows NT group
as Domain_name\My Group. I need not have to make any code change as what is
mentioned in code is matching with the group.
Thanks

the following (not tested at all):
DECLARE @.ln nvarchar(100)
select @.ln = loginname from master.dbo.syslogins where loginname COLLATE
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS = N'Domain_name\My Group'
if not @.ln is null
BEGIN
exec sp_grantlogin @.ln
exec sp_defaultdb @.ln, N'master'
exec sp_defaultlanguage @.ln, N'us_english'
END
Note that I added BEGIN and END because in the original the second and third
lines were being executed unconditionally.
HTH,
Mike
