I recently had to do a rebuild of our SBS 2003 server. Since our backup was
corrupt I created a new 2003 domain controller - migrated active directory to
it - decommissioned my SBS 2003 box - created a new SBS 2003 Server and
migrated back to it. I restored the CRM Databases (MSCRM and Metabase) and
Crm worked fine after. Now 1 day later all of my users are experiencing the
following error when trying to log in from any pc and any user including the
administrator on the server.

The user authentication passed to the platform is not valid.

I performed a repair install of CRM to no affect. The weird thing is that
this was working after my restore and it just stopped. The only thing I did
was install a spam filter but that should have no affect on this system and
it worked fine previously with it.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I think I figured it out - I had CRM installed with a service account of the
local system account - I created a CRM User and gave it domain and enterprise
admin rights and did a repair install changing it to that and now I'm up and
running again.
