Microsoft SQL Server Error: 18456

The server is SQL 2008 R2.

I have a SQL server setup with mixed mode authentication but I can only login as the sa user.  I can't access it with my AD credentials.  I have verified the login setting against another server that works fine.  I have added domain\Domain Admins as a Login and assigned the sysadmin role and made sure it was grnated permission to connect.  The error shows a state code of 11, but I havne't had much luck finding a resolution on Google.

No I didn't. I am actually working with a grop if that makes a difference.  I will try that.
1) Error state 11 means: Valid login but server access failure

2) Please verify that 'SA' is granted to the AD account by the following:

select * from syslogins

Verify if the hasaccess filed and sysadmin filed for the AD group is set to 1.

3) Were you able to add another login and add 'SA' to it? If the other windows login works, please delete the AD login and re-add it with SA.
