If the CEICW produces errors, then your system is misconfigured.
If you have misconfigurations, the CEICW has a very good chance of fixing
them for you.
If the CEICW cannot fix the errors, then your system is really
misconfiugred, but they might be fixed manually by analyses of the log file
that is produced.
The CEICW is ths single most complicated configuration tool on the box. It's
a marvelous piece of work. The list of checks and configurations it makes
are pages and pages long, and aren't going to be the subject of a newsgroup
post anytime soon ;-)
If you can do a better job of configuring an SBS than the CEICW can, then I
think MS wants to speak with you ;-).
