| I tried to reinstall SBS in order to get the licensing wizard to show.
| However, I get the following error msg: "snap in failed to initialize".
I
| noticed that the setup for SBS was not completed by our consultant, so I
| tried it myself. When the todo list displayed, I click on the button
next
| to add licenses but nothing happened.
|
| I looked on this newsgroup where a msft rep suggested to run mmc from the
| run command. I tried this also but I got the same error message.
|
| Do I need to install from the beginning? Do I have a bad installation
disk?
| Can I call MSFT for support?
