RE: Problems joining pc's to server

Jenny,
I added the workstation to a workgroup, deleted the computer from the server
and added it again. I then started the join computer wizard and went through
all the steps.
When I logged back in with the username for that workstation (customer
service, limited rights) nothing changed. The user still had the MSN homepage
and no company links in the bookmarks section.

Any extra help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Jason,

Thanks for your update. I am glad to know that things are getting fine now.

If we attempt to re-join one workstation to domain with connectcomputer
wizard, we need first manually change the workstation to "Workgroup" mode
by configuring in (My Computer -> Properties -> Computer Name -> Change
button). And then you can re-run the connectcomputer wizard to join it back.

Through the test, we can identify that it is insufficient permissions
issue. Those settings (homepage and so on) can not be changed for
insufficient permissions of the user account.

Please feel free to post back when you need further assistance on this
issue and we are glad to help.

Have a nice day!

Sincerely,

Jenny Wu

Hi Jenny,
1. the users can't change the homepage since they have limited rights
(customer service).
2. When I try to rerun the wizard, it tells me that it's already a part of
the domain and it halts.
3. Using an administrator account to log in to that station, the links and
homepage show up like they're supposed to.

Thanks for your time.

Hi Jason,

Thanks for using the SBS newsgroup. Also thanks for Russ's input.

From your description, I understand the issue to be: after the
workstation
joined to domain, the homepage of the IE can not be updated. If I am off
base, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Let us perform some tests to isolate the issue:

1. Please manually change the IE homepage to URL: http://compapyweb/ and
then re-open the IE to see if the change has been kept. The homepage
settings may be changed by some applications.

2. Please try to re-join the workstation to domain using connectcomputer
wizard, does the issue persist?

3. Please try to use another user account to logon the workstation to
test
the issue, what is the result?

I appreciate your time! I am happy to be of assistance to you and look
forward to your reply!

Have a nice day!

Sincerely,

Jenny Wu

Running SBS2003 SP1, Win XP SP2
Hi folks
I recently added a couple of new workstations as well as two new users
to
the network. After upgrading to XP Pro, I went to the
http://server/connectcomputer and went through those steps.
My problem is that after login in with the particular user, in internet
explorer, the home page and links are not updated. When the user opens
the
browser, it just has the default MSN search page. This is not what
happened
with my previous workstations.
What can I do to fix this?

Thanks.

Jason
