After joining XP SP2 pc's to SBS 2003 domain the Applying computer settings part takes forever.
XP is pointing to local DNS and not ISP DNS.
SBS GPO's are set to default
Any other ideas?
Applying computer settings during bootup takes forever and i know about the client must point to local DNS server and not DNS at ISP.
But what else is causing this behaviour. I have even moved the computer to a new Computer OU without any GPO applied but its still taking very long.
Ok.But how do people connect to a WiFi is the SSID is not being broadcast under available wireless network list?
I have checked myself and none of the WAP's broadcast their SSID's but yet still foreign computers appear in SBS DHCP?
Let me give you some backgroup of our setup:
Remote users connect to a WAP through a switch in their office which connect to a WAP at our main office.
The WAP @ main office is connected to our main switch.
The Netgear router is also wireless for internal use but it is protected by WEP and...
I have 3 OU's that needs to use different GPO's.
Should i create 3 new ones and ignore the default domain GPO incl the SBS logon script and create my login scripts to map drives etc.?
Well the Netgear router is also wireless and there is 3 WAP's connected to a network switch.
Seems that i need an extra firewall device to protect the internal network especially SBS.
DHCP was on the router and now on SBS
ok.
My To Do list only shows the following:
Activate your server
Add Client Licenses
Add a Printer
Configure Fax
Configure Backup
So its not showing the default list of wizards.
DCHP, DNS and Active Directory seems ok. Clients is now geting IP's from the SBSbox so if i need to reinstall do i...
Sorry i meant Server Management.
Do i need to re-install because setup never gave me the opportunity to run any wizards. It looks like a MS server 2003 now.
I have setup SBS in lab environment and never had this problem where installing finishes without any wizards or Server Management
Obviously i can leave users in their workgroups and join them to the domain when needed or when i'm ready.
As long a they can access their email and internet they will be happy.
It was just a concern as far should i continue with the setup/wizards without messing up their existing internet/email...
Just to add to my previous thread.
Some people say that SBS setup makes itself the router and even uses the router IP address.
If thats true i'm completely lost.
I want to setup SBS but dont want users to loose their Internet connection in the meanwhile.
I will be implementing SBS soon but need to know how will i configure Internet and email as i want users to be able to use their existing Internet conncetion and POP email from ISP while i'm still setting and configuring the SBS server.
For instance: Will they loose their Internet connection...
SD i need to some more info regarding this POP/ISP/Exch/DNS setup.
POP email acc's with ISP A. There a are 3 different email domains.
Then there is ISP B for Internet and DNS.
What configurations are needed for ISP A or/and B?
I have previously used a mail relay server with our ISP and simply...
