Merge Contacts/Accounts Error
Posted by Jack Bender on June 9th, 2006


We have a customer that was upgraded from 1.2. We have a user that has the
System Administrator role and periodically when they merge
contacts/accounts, they receive the following error..."The user
authentication passed to the platform is not valid". This appears to happen
every third or fourth time they perform the merge.

Has anyone else seen this before?

I have this exact same problem. Has anyone a solution for this? This happens
to users with the sys admin role. Thanks!

There is a hotfix available from MS Support (or at least a work around)
in the partner KB for this issue. It is related to requiring delete
permissions for opportunity and customer relationship.

Derek, what is the hotfix page? We have the same issue. Do you have any
more detail?

Unfortunately not, I think I deleted the email, I get digests of
hotfixes released every month and I remember thinking it would be
useful... Havent got around to chasing it up.

Hi, could you please confirm if the two records being merged belong to
different business units?

Confused by what you're asking ... the Contacts being merged don't belong to
business units, only users.

Yes, some do, but we are converting them to the top-most one this week in the
hopes that this will fix it.
