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

Also, the Administrator cannot access many/most folders on the server, from
the server desktop. Access Denied.

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!
