You should be able to type in the domain\userid, then tab to the next field and it retrieves the rest from AD.

You may want to grant yourself a role such as "sales manager" in order to 'hide' the parts of the application you're not initially using. - (marketing, service, etc.)
Remote to your server as the Adminsitrator for customizations / configuration changes or to add additional priviledges to your role.
I would echo Donna's earlier suggestion of getting some of the excellent guides on CRM configuration / administration or leveraging the online documentation. - Following any of those would have saved you a lot of trouble getting connected for the first time - but trial and error does build experience.

Hi Serge -
In a locally hosted environment, CRM normally uses AD authentication (and not IIS authentication.) - Be sure your client PC authenticating to the same domain as your server.
The Implementation Guide is a great resource on how to install and configure CRM. - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=1CEB5E01-DE9F-48C0-8CE2-51633EBF4714

Are you able to run CRM from the server?
Also, make sure IIS security is set correctly. - Disable anonymous access, etc.

yes I am able to acces CRM web site from my server without any trouble.
It does not work only if I try to acces it from my client PC.
My url is as follow :http://solatys:5555/SOLATYS/loader.aspx
So if I enter the same uRL from my client PC in explorer I get the user ID error

Thnaks for your reply, I will try.
By the way what do you mean by "make sure there is user for the user logging on in CRM"
The client PC I am login in is a memeber of my server domain, so I am identified already under my Server.
I am loggin in as <MyServerNAme>\Cal
Where in CRM should I verify if that user is set ?
- Inside web site Security Tab ?
- Inside SQL server ?
Thnaks to explain where should I set or verify that user
regards

Make sure in the settings-->Administration-->Users area of CRM that the user which is logged on to the Client PC is added as a user in CRM.Monday, July 6, 2009 10:57 AM

Are you logging into the client PC with the same domain\user that you used to install CRM on the server? - If not, could you try that? - That should let us know if it's client/network related or a User account issue.

"Are you logging into the client PC with the same domain\user that you used to install CRM on the server?" NO
To install my CRM server I have used the following procedure :
1 From my client laptop on which I am loggin as SOLATYS-SRVR\cal, I start a Remote Desktop connection and click Connect
2 When my server prompt me for credential, I enter my server administrator level as user : Administrator
Any help ?

Within the remote desktop session, are you are logged in as the same user account (administrator) that you used to install CRM?

I think there are some missundestanding....
Let me explain again
As my server machine I have no keyboard and screen installed, In order to Install my CRM , I install it through my laptop by using the Remote desktop. And when login session ocurs I enter the Administrator user of the server in order to install the software.
So software installation goes ok.
Then throught this same remote session, I open explorer on my server and type in the CRM url. I can open CRM portal without any trouble through the session...
Now the problem I have from the begining is that I am trying to install on my laptop the CRM client for outlook. And at the initiallisation of the configuration wizard, it requiers the CRM url . At this time when I paste the url as http://<myServerName>:5555/myOrganisationName/loader.aspx I get this user ID error.
At this time I try to test it directly through my browser and same heppen...

Are you able to connect to CRM through your browser on your laptop? (not in a remote desktop) - If not and if you haven't done so already, Log in to the server as your administrative user, in the Settings area, choose "Administration", then select "Users" - You will need to create a user for the userID you normally log into the PC with. - (and be sure to assign appropriate security roles to the user.)
Also, when you paste in the address in Outlook - omit the "/loader.aspx"

>>> in the Settings area, choose "Administration" then select Users
What do you mean that Settings area ?? Is it Server Management from where I then open Users and Computers in AD ?
or is it Control panel ???
My server is SBS 2003 R2

Remote to your server, then on the server desktop, open CRM. http://solatys:5555/SOLATYS/loader.aspx
Once you've opened CRM, on the left side menu there is a "Settings" area -
