We had a CRM 4 rollup 10 installation in a on premise deployment and we tried to make an image of the deployment and change the name of the computer. At the end of the procedure we couldn’t login to the original server and the server returned the following message User ID associated with the current record is not valid.
Well the problem that caused this message was that the machine principal in active directory had become invalid. We fixed the problem be making the following steps:
1. We detached the server machine from the domain and we made sure that the principal of the server was deleted from AD.
2. We attached again the machine to AD.
3. We added the newly created machine principal to the following crm security groups: PrivReportingGroup, SQLAccessGroup and PrivUserGroup (CRM security groups of deployment)
After that we were able to login again:-)
