Thanks everyone!
The DNS was pointing to the loopback adapter. I would swear I set it
properly during set up, but the days are blurry now....
I took off the items that won't be needed, but kept IIS. One of the main
roles of the server will be a SUS setup.
I assumed (incorrectly) that I would have to have AD installed to configure
permissions. (I made this assumption based on the fact that I couldn't get
to any permission groups...my bad.) There is no internet to have this
machine be a BDC, so Active Directory will stay off.
As long as it doesn't screw anything up, I'll likely put the firewall client
on the server. We run a lot of POOR vendor software and I can't count on
them to have set their access up properly to use a proxy.
Thanks again to all! I'm sure I'll be banging on the door again soon with
SUS questions. =P
