Hi Nathan,
Thank you for posting in the SBS newsgroup. I am glad to working with you
again.
I am sorry for the delay in responding due to weekend, thanks for the
understanding.
Please note the partner managed newsgroups are staffed weekdays by
Microsoft Support professionals. Our goal is to provide a one business day
response to all posts.
For time critical issues (not business down), we encourage you to contact
CSS directly for more immediate assistance:

To continue working with me in the newsgroups, please see the following:
Before we go any further, please let me know the following information so
that we can understand your situation more clearly.
1. What's the exact problem symptom?
a. Has the server ever worked?
b. If so, what has been changed?
c. What service packs and updates were applied?
d. What are the steps to reproduce the problem?
e. Please provide the exact error message with any screenshots if possible.
To do this, please follow the steps below:
a) When the screen appears, press PrScrn (this key is located to the right
of the
F12 key on the keyboard)
b) Create a new Word document and open it.
c) Press Ctrl + V to paste the screen shot into the document.
d) Send this document as the mail's attachment to me at
v-natliu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
2. Please kindly note that if we use "Add User Wizard" to create a new
user account, this user account resides in SBSUsers OU by default.
3. If we use "Add User Wizard" and apply these SBS User Templates to
create a new user account, the SBS User Templates are configured to have
the following roles on the SharePoint site. This configuration is leveraged
by the administrative wizards to default settings for new user based on
these templates.
User Template SharePoint Role
Administrator Template Administrator
Mobile User Template Web Designer
Power User Template Administrator
User Template Web Designer
4. Please run "dsa.msc" (without the quotation marks) on the command
prompt on the SBS Server, you can find these OUs are created for Small
Business Server:
Organizational Unit (OU) Object
Description
MyBusiness.domain.com
Default OU for Small Business Server
Computers.MyBusiness.domain.com Container for
SBSComputers and SBSServers OU
SBSComputers.Computers.MyBusiness.domain.com Default OU for computer
accounts created with the Set Up Computer Wizard
SBSServers.Computers.MyBusiness.domain.com Default OU for
server accounts created with the Set Up Computer Wizard
Distribution Groups.MyBusiness.domain.com Default OU for
distribution groups created by the Add Distribution Group Wizard
Security Groups.Groups.MyBusiness.domain.com Default OU
for security groups created by the Add Security Group Wizard
Users.MyBusiness.domain.com
Container for SBSUsers OU
SBSUsers.Users.MyBusiness.domain.com Default
OU for user accounts created with the Add User Wizard
5. On SBS Server, we strongly recommend you use "Add User Wizard" to
create new user account, and use "Add User Wizard" or "Set Up Computer
Wizard" to create new computer account, don't directly create user or
computer account via ADU&C.
