Re: can't see others in network places nor can i join domain

i just noticed, by clicking on it that something is missing... after try
installing it my setup wizard end up on following errors..

Server Configuration:
An error occurred while creating user accounts. Open Active Directory Users
and Computers, and manually create a test user to verify that Active
Directory is running. Rerun Setup.
Server Tools:
An error occurred while copying files for the Server Tools component. See
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Integration\Windows Small Business Server
2003\Logs\SBSMSI-remote.LOG for the list of files that were not copied. You
may want to run Setup again and reinstall the component.

i can send that .log seperartly if you'd like

i was able to create a test user fine.
