SBS R2 Confused Computers/Users ??

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi all

I'm just trying out SBS and have reinstalled it several times trying
differing things.

On my latest setup my Computers/Users in Active Directory (only one!) seem
to have dissappeared although they worked ... i've now found them ..

In the management console I have

Active Directory Users and Computers
- mycompanyname.local
+ Builtin
+ Computers
+ Domain Controllers
+ ForeignSecurityPrincipals
+ MyBusiness
+ Users

On previous installs my computer was created under 'Computers' and my
username under "Users"

However this time they are created un Computers/Users sub folders under
MyBusiness ?

Not quite sure how they have ended up here

Anyhow pervously when I when to add my Username to the Security settings in
an SQL database it was in ther list for me to choose and all worked fine.
However I can not seem to get at the user now it is under MyBusiness ?

It's probably to do with now I have a 2nd network card and or I've run the
Connect to the Internet wizard which I think includes some secuity policy
settings which I turned on.

Anyhow my question is how do I get to this MyBusiness user in the SQL
management studio to add it to the secuity section in the database I have
created

Thanks in advance

Andrew
