G'day,
I was called in to help fix a blown SBS2003 Installation. As the 4th
person called in, they have allready really messed things up.
Somebody set them up with a home gateway router and only one NIC in
the server and who knows how they answered the install wizatrd. They
tried to join the PC's to the domain but didn't realize what a
computer name is or what a user is. Quite a mess since they did this
same abortive domain join on 4 of 5 clients. I have added a second
NIC and re-run server setup. Joined the one pc they didn't screw up.
I absolutely love the new profile copy routine! It is just fantastic
and something sorely missed in SBS2000. Anyhow, on the "bad" clients,
the profile copy routing "never ran" according to the user. I do see
where 2 temporary and sparcely populated profiles with __sbs__ type
names were created on each of these PC's. When I try to re-run the
web-based profile copy routine it will not let me, says the profile
permissions must be changed to allow access. I open up all
permissions on the old profile and am logged in as administrator, no
help. I am thinking of disjoing the domain (go back to workgroup) and
re-joing to re-invoke the process? Anyone suggestions?
