Hi,

When i am run this query

Drop user [Domain\user]

I am getting this error

Msg 15173, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Login 'Domain\user' has granted one or more permission(s). Revoke the permission(s) before dropping the login.

This is windows authentication

In Love... With Me!

Make sure that this user isn't the sole DBowner or any other specific permissions within an existing DB. You can also utilize the security feature on each DB or the entire SQL install to remove any specific user.
(ie. check for the existing permissions for this user)

Check out this link if you need more detailed clarification. I have dealt with this before.
