2014 High Availabity Group Failover SQL Users

  • I just set up a lab with SQL Server  2014. I created a local SQL user and verified that they have different SIDs on each of the two nodes in my high availability setup. When I failed over I expected to be faced with an orphaned user issue since the database SID wouldn't match the login but I wasn't; I connected to the database without issue.  Is there some feature in 2014 that mitigates this problem or am I missing something?


    --Before Failover
    Select @@SERVERNAME --SVR2
    Select * from sys.sql_logins where name = 'dkimberlin' --0xC4616A0297EA554E9764B34065BF5F4F

    --After Failover
    Select @@SERVERNAME --SVR3
    Select * from sys.sql_logins where name = 'dkimberlin' --0x0440987BF9CE494AACB20ACB7E982FE1


  • Hi,
    please check, if your sql user are in the sysadmin server role.
    I try to check this in our test-environment, if this could be possible.
    Kind regards,
    Andreas
