Adding Domain Accounts to Databases

Hi guys
I have a user that is in the process of being migrated from one domain to
another. Therefore I have been asked to add his new domain account to the SQL
Server 2000.
However when I try to Add the user Domain2\user1 it fails saying 'user1'
already exist. Which is true as Domain1\User1.
Question is: Is there a way to add user1 from Domain2 without removing the
Domain1 user?
Thanks.
Regards
JonasJonas
Lookup sp_change_users_login in the BOL.

Hi Jonas
You could also create a group in the new domain and then give this group
the required access to the database. You can then put the new user
account into this group. That should give you what you want.
