For SBS 2000, the widely adopted recomendation (that I've seen mainly=20
here on this NG) is to NOT use the client setup disk(s).
It's pretty simple to do manually - so off the top of my head:
* join the PC to the domain
* logon as you ((domain) admin user)
* install the SBS Firewall client (in: \\server\mspclnt)
* on the *local* PC, add the intended user in Control Panel, Users as =
an=20
admin user (locally this is!)
* test the user logon
I've found it handy to mod the sbs logon script so that it outputs to =
c:
\logonlog.txt - for examination to check it's run ok.
