Hi,

I'm installing a SBS 2000 on a brand new machine using just the default
options offered ny the installation setup.

Disk one is installing the Server 2000 element and I've reached the point
where it's asking me if I want to use the default or custom network settings
(this is just after I enter the Product Key). I'm getting the following
error:
----------------------------
COM+ Setup Error

Sub-component COM+ raides an exception while processing the
OC_COMPLETE_INSTALLATION setup message.
../ccompluscore.cpp (line274) Error Code=0x80040206.

An unexpected internal error was detected. The COM+ event classes could not
be registered.
-----------------------------

The hardware is a fairly simple setup with a single network card and a
single disk

Can anyone tell me what on earth this means and, more importantly, do I need
to worry anout it?!

Regards,

Richard

A Google search indicates that this *may* be due to the Blaster worm if you
are connected to the Internet during setup. You only need to be connected
to a live hub (with nothing else connected to the hub) when installing SBS
2000. After installing all SBS components (Exchange, ISA, etc.), install
SBS SP1a and other "pre-downloaded patches" (ones that you've previously
downloaded from a clean workstation and put on a CD). Do this before you
connect to the web.

Of course, there are other problems that can cause this error.

Thanks Merv,

I've fallen for this one before, the Blaster Worm reference dragged
something from the back of my brain - it's our KVM switch! No problems at
all when there's a "proper" keyboard, Monitor & Mouse bolted on!

Just for other readers.... SBS 2002 & 2003 doesn't seem to like some brands
of KVM switch - Once the installation is complete, the KVM will work fine.
However, during the installation the KVM really does wreck the setup.

Regards,

I have problems with KVMs sometimes even after a successfull install.
A bit of frustration those KVMs.
