URGENT-strange permission loss, SID's invalid, admin PW bad?!?!

Help! I have an SBS 2003 Prem server (OEM version - not yet applied SP1).
Suddenly, a bunch of users lost their SID = I had to reassign them a new
password to even get them logged in. The Administrator password wasn't being
accepted, even at the console. I logged in as an admin-equivalent IT login,
and reset the Admin password. Also, some users can't get into sub-folders in
network shares.

The server apparently crashed and rebooted, but I found nothing in the logs
to explain. I don't even know where to begin as their does not appear to be
any smoking gun....it's as if something happened to the DC, where some users
are messed up, others are not. some can access cetain files, others cannot.

I just took over this site two weeks ago and still have not figured out the
group policies etc...anyone heard of anything like what I'm experiencing?

Thanks!
