Re: Help!!! Reinstall of SBS 2003 problems / trouble: component errors

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Well the fixin' is too late....regarding my problem I spent 4 hours w/
Microsoft Support ($245) and I was left with instructions to format my C
partition and install a clean copy of the server software. For some reason
on the reinstall the active directory was not creating the necessary
'Security Groups' in the mybusiness portion. As a result the install
packages could not create the necessary privileges to install the server
applications. That's the long and short of my problem. Sometimes
especially when you are desperate you have to muck-around.
