Re: Problem with connect computer wizard

Hi Wayne,

Thank you for posting back.

Since Jenny is now OOF, I'm her backup. I'd like to provide the following
info for your reference:

Info 1.

You mentioned that you're using Anonymous access with Administrator
account. By default, it should be the IUSR_servername account. Anyway,
please make sure that you've typed the correct Administrator password in
the "Authentication Method" page under Enable anonymous access.

Info 2.

Error 404 means that the client is not able to connect to the IIS and
access the appropriate file. Please check:

1. Open ConnectComputer properties in IIS.
2. Click Documents tab.
3. Make sure that default.htm is in the list.
4. Open C:\Inetpub\ConnectComputer.
5. Make sure that default.htm is there.

Then, please zip C:\Inetpub\ConnectComputer folder and send it to
pngfd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the following info:

Queue: SBS (Public).

ID: 32336941

Info 3.

You mentioned that you've selected "Grant Access" under IP address and
domain name restrictions, this is OK.

Info 4.

For connect computers by using
\\servername\inetpub\ConnectComputer\default.htm, this will give you an
error as you mentioned in the reply, this is an expected behavior. When
joining a computer to the domain, make sure that you're using
http://servername/connectcomputer, you cannot use IP address or FQDN to
replace servername, it will give you the same error message.

Info 5.

If you've confirmed the administrator password as well as the documents tab
setting, and the problem persists, please enable IIS Logging.

1. Right click Default Web Site and click Properties.
2. Enable Logging.
3. Click Properties button and then Advanced tab to check all fields.
4. Confirm the change and reproduce the problem.
5. Zip C:\windows\system32\logfiles\w3svc1 folder and send it to
pngfd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx as well.

I hope the above info helps and we look forward to your update.

Regards,

Bill Peng

| Hi Jenny,
|
| I'm looking at this problem too and am trying your suggestions.

|
| The internal NIC IP was down as DNS on the server's NIC, I changed the
| DNS on the client computer to the server NIC IP and chose NetBios over
| TCP/IP.
|

| > 3. Click Edit under "IP address and domain name restriction", make sure

| > After verifying them, please restart IIS server.
|
| "Anonymous access" is checked and the username is "Administrator".
| Under "IP Address and Domain Restriction", "by default, all computers
| will be granted access" is chosen. You only have an option to deny
| certain computers.

|
| They can, and OWA too.
|

|
| This is what is displayed in the browser window.

|
| Do you mean change the workgroup under "Computer name" in System
| properties? It seems like this is adding the computer to our domain
| manually, which is possible, but we'd prefer to use the Connect
| Computer wizard.

|
| I did some experimenting and I discovered that typing:
|
| "\\server\inetpub\ConnectComputer\default.htm"
|
| into the address line of the client's browser will bring up the
| "Connect Computer" page. When I choose "connect to the network now", I
| get a "An error occured when configuring networking settings. See your
| network administrator" error page.
