    Doing my first install of SBS 2003:
    I have got to the point where windows has installed and it
    gets to the Continue Setup wizard.
    What I thought should happen is that it should go through
    the network checking screen (I have the server on its own
    connected to a hub-but not with any other machines
    connected)but after it gives me the IP address and I fill
    in the admin password it goes off and comes back with
    a 'cannot find domain error'.
    Surely part of the 'Continue setup' should be to run
    DCpromo and setup Active directory and DNS server?
