I never mentioned my web site. Are you sure you found mine?

Most of the counties routers are cisco with a non windows interface and I
can't change those. The county went through a $55,000 WAN installation in
April and that's the way I asked them to configure the routers. However
the
biggest domain has only 35 clients. In the future, I will try to make the
switch, when I get fully comfortable with SBS.

It is my goal to attain the 70-282 certification in 2007. I absolutely
don't expect to pass the first 2 times.

BTW, you have some interesting stuff on your website. I wish I could
afford
you to help me through a small SBS install. I haven't EVEN considered
learning exchange, yet.

thanks for all of your feedback. this all started wondering where the
outlook key was.

One thing that DHCP on SB Scan do that most routers cannot is to force
dynamic updates and create PTR records in DNS. That helps with domain
communication. Assigning reservations is also easier and a lot of the
tracking is easier from the server.

All you need to do is make sure there are no other DHCP servers running
on
the LAN side of your SBS network (usually a router's DHCP).

The only time I have seen the connectcomputer error you mentioned about
DNS
is when the ISP DNS is set on the clients instead of the SBS DNS IP
address.

I would rather setup a real server with a real client PC and a real
router
at
my work network and see what the results are first. One thing I have
done
with all of the networks I support is to let the router take care of
DHCP.
The first version of SBS2003 and the sp1 version always whined about an
external DHCP server. I don't install dhcp on the servers, because i
don't
quite know how to "authorize" external dhcp servers. I do know to set
the
clients dns to point to the servers dns and set up dns forwarding on
the
server to point to ISP's DNS.

Having said all of that, I'm sure that it is probably preferred to let
the
SBS do DNS and DHCP. I just don't want to change all of the networks
over.

This virtual project was to become familiar with the wizards and is
hardly
a
"real world scenario" resulting in "real world" results.

If you had your DNS and DHCP set up properly on the server, you would

be
getting that error message.

Post an "ipconfig /all" from your server and a workstation and I can
tell
if
you have it set up correctly.

Okay thanks for all of the input....

I did make alot of progress. However, I couldn't get the client to
connect
to the server through the "http://sbs/connectcomputer"; method. I
did,
however get connected to the DC through the network setup wizard on
the
client. When it logged onto the domain, the client had an icon to
"install
outlook". When I clicked on it, it came up with the product key
window.
What did I do wrong?

A little background is this...

I'm using virtual pc 2007 for both the server and the client. for
the
first
time EVER, I got the internet to work on the server with 2 NIC's
after
running CEICW. I added the client PC and the user using the
wizards.
when I
did this... http://sbs/connectcomputer , i got an error something
to
the
effect of set DNS in the router to the ip of the server, so I chose
to
join
the domain using the clients network wizard. This is just a lab
setup
and
I
don't want to change router to do DNS at this point. I'm just
trying
to
get
through all of these wizards and get a feel for what a SBS2003
properly
installed is like.

I am very inpressed that when the clients connect, software can be
installed
automatically. I didn't know that.

My main push is I have one of these boxes going into a 15 client
network
next week and would like to impress my customer. I've installed 3
other
SBS
servers this year and the results were lame. He now has a XP peer
network
and has finally opted to get a server. I also have a service
contract
with
our local county and one of my goals in 2007 is to get the 70-282
certificate. the training is led by microsoft and is on jan 12.
I'm
trying
over this christmas break to get a better foundation on this.

As others has often said, I don't have any problems installing and
configuring server 2003, just these SBS servers.

Thanks again for all of the input.

Hi Jim.

Thank you for posting here.

From the description, I understand you want to install only outlook
2003
SP2 on your computer and want to know where the product key is on
your
SBS2003 R2 DVD. If I am off base, please don't hesitate to let me
know.

Base on my knowledge, the only way to install Outlook 2003 SP2 on a
single
computer from SBS 2003 R2 DVD is through deployment of the SBS
server.
I
completed understand your situation, but windows SBS 2003 R2 is
designed
for a business solution, not for personal need. The goal of design
is
provide a convenient way for a business environment. We don't have
a
method
to install Outlook 2003 SP2 in a separate computer without any
Server
involved, so we don¡¯t provide Outlook 2003 product key on the DVD.

I appreciate your understanding, I am happy to be of assistance to
you
and
look forward to your reply.

Have a nice day!

Best regards,

Inn Jin (MSFT)
