Peter, re: Exchange, why wouldn't you want to use Exchange? I think that
Exchange is one of the primary features for moving to an SBS platform.

Without it --- each person grabs their own email thru a POP3 connection.
and downloads their email to their PC, and all email is stored on the local
PC which means that the email never gets backed up, and all virus checking
is dependent on the fact that the user's PC has an up to date virus checking
software.

With it --- Exchange pulls down the meail fopr each user, and scans it first
with the virus software runnning on the server, and all email are stored in
the user's mailbox that is creatred ON the server, and therefore all email
is backed up every night from the server.

Additionally, with it --- you have shared public folders for all users to
use, you have shared calendars, and shared contacts, and one user can easily
allow another user to view or access their inbox or calendar, which is great
for a secratary to access the boss's calendar.

You're not clear whether the issue of not accessing the Internet is with
all, or just some, of the workstations. Did you run 'ConnectComputer' at
each workstation?

Also, are you running SBS2003 Standard or Premium? If Premium, did you
manually install the ISA Firewall Client?

I did read that KB article earlier today and was thinking it may be OK however after reading through the comments in the blog that Peter forwarded me to i think i may go ahead with re-running exchange setup and SP2 plus any patches as the server does have a few minor problems that could be mapi / dll related that i didnt mention in my original post as i was just after some initial feelers from the community before i went ahead with any big decisions. ...
