Re: HELP PLEASE...

Femi,
FYI. This support is exactly what it states. "Business Critical" and you do
qualify. My experiences have been aboslutely great with them. They have some
very talented people there who know their stuff and are there to help you
get your system back to working order and the case stays open until your
issues are resolved. I suggest you call them asap.

Hi AllenM,

Thanks for the invitation.
I just joined the MPP and will be getting to them to try and resolve the
issue. However, if i dont get a solution by this weekend, i'll backup my
files and rebuild the server and AD from scratch.

Hi Allen,

I didnt just apply SBS 2003 SP1. It actually came bundled with my pack
of
SBS 2003.
I am still working on the bloody thing and i am completely exhasuted. I
wanna try and bring it to a state where no one will notice anything by
the
time work resumes later on today.
So far, i have been able to gain a form a temporary stability after
disabling a lot of services from starting up.
I have even stopped using the snap in server management console cos it
actually froze the server at a point, now i use the traditional active
directory users and computers snap in which i even prefer to the server
management snap in.

any more ideas please?

Hi Guys,

I have had a nightmare today!

First in, I came to work this morning and got the mssbsssr.exe
application
error on my SBS.
Then i tried looking up in the vent viewer but there was nothing
significant
that could help.
Later on, some people could not log into the domain user profiles
and
when
i
went to the server, i could not access the user profiles, client
computers
or
any other domain service managemnt function that comes with the SBS
via
the
SBS server management console.
Hence i could not perform any tasks whatsoever on the server.
I tried re-booting the server but no changes. The error however did
not
show
this time.
I have been battling with this all day and hence i couldnt post this
problem
earlier than this.
Now, i am completely lost as to wha to do.
i have performed scans, checks and all other security vulnerability
checks
and all is just failing.
When i try to join a computer to the domain, it fails saying the
domain
is
not available.
I cant even ping the domain name from the laptop.
I am going to try and do active directory recovery in a few minutes
time,
i
sure hope this works else i am thinking of repairing the SBS
installation.

I need opinions on this please...i am totally fagged out!!!
