• windows groups cannot be denied as detailed here

    The link states;

    MSDN - ALTER LOGIN (Transact-SQL)


    You cannot use ALTER_LOGIN with the DISABLE argument to deny access to a Windows group. For example, ALTER_LOGIN [domain\group] DISABLE will return the following error message:

    "Msg 15151, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

    "Cannot alter the login 'Domain\Group', because it does not exist or you do not have permission."

    This is by design.
