Re: Windows 2003 small business version installation

You bought the wrong product.

SBS has to be a domain controller and hold all the FSMO roles

The solution?  Let it be what it wants to be.

If you wanted a web server you should have bought the web edition.

Hi there,

We bought MS windows 2003 small business version and installed, 15 days later the machine constantly shut down by itself. We
checked event log and it says you have to install Active directory in order
to stop automatically shut down for this version of window 2003. But we use
this machine as web server only and we don't need Active directory nor DNS
server. I am just wondering if anyone had same problem and had solution for
it.

Thanks in advance

Alan
