Re: FN-FORUM: Server2kSBS / Exchange problem

date posted 4th January 2005 20:18

Anything blocking Netbios or RPCs? Have they joined the domain? Is DNS
correctly set up (99% of problems with SBS are caused by incorrect DNS)? Did
you use the disk/wizard to set up clients (or the MS instructions if it's
SBS 2k and XP). If they are Win98, they won't work properly with SBS2003 and
with 2k they need WINS for name resolution and probably dsclient as well. XP
Home doesn't work.

Do you have enough licences? Are the permissions correct?

Post ipconfig /all from server and from a problem client. Could also run
dcdiag and netdiag to look for server problems.
