Re: Small Business Server Networking Wizard was not installed

Bob Genestet -

Thank you for something else to try. No, I have not tried the "sfc
/scannow", I will give that a try. I did patch the workstation with ALL the
OS updates along with hardware and application updates that were available
from the Windows Update site and that did not fix the "Small Business Server
Networking Wizard was not installed" error. I will try the "sfc /scannow" and
let you know. Please allow me about a week to respond. I will be working on
another site for the week of February 12-16th, 2007 and probably will not get
back over to the clients location with the SBS 2003 problem till February
20th. As soon as I can get over there, I will give the "scf" a try and will
post you the results. Thanks again.

Thank you again for the ideas. I have disabled EVERYTHING that was loading
in the background, including the McAfee antivirus services. So I know that
there is no third party software issue. There are no third party security
software installed into IE like Yahoo or Google. Yes, I disabled the
Microsoft firewall, this did not fix it either. When you run
"http://servername/connectcomputer";, you got the warning about installing
the
ActiveX control, once that was installed, then you get the message "Small
Business Server Networking Wizard was not installed". The computer was
NEVER
a member of a domain, ONLY a WORKGROUP. Yes, I did try resetting the
computers "computer object" in SBS 2003. I even deleted the "computer
object"
in SBS 2003 and recreated it, still get the same error "Small Business
Server
Networking Wizard was not installed". Yes, I even updated the NIC's
driver,
still did not resolve the problem.

Have
you tried completely removing any antivirus or antispyware and disabling
the
XP firewall? Do you get the security warning in IE that a program is
wanting
to install when you run the "Connect Computer" wizard? Have you remove
the
computer from the domain and tried to add it back after removing and
adding
the computer account from the server, this resets the SID. Have you tried
setting the PC's NIC both ways, DHCP or Static or even reinstalling the
NIC?

Wanted to thank you for your reply. As to all the questions you asked,
the
answer is YES, the server name, along with the domain name were added
to
IE's
trusted sites. I even set IS's security to the LOWEST settings. I also
ran
the "repair" on the nework card, setup static IP addresses, ran the
TCPIP
WINSOCK fix, all these things were done on both of these machines,
nothing
fixed the problem. Finally on the one machine, the delpart of the hard
drive
and then I re-imaged it with the image I made for that machine, and
then
it
worked. The Dell, like I stated, I really do not want to wipe out, just
in
case Dell's image has the same problem.

I still keep going back to the fact that this IS a problem with SBS
2003
and
Microsoft IS NOT addressing the problem.

Have guys tried adding the server name as a trusted site in IE and

using the server name in accessing the "connect Computer" wizard?.
Also
running "repair" on the PC's network interface sometimes helps.

Wanted to thank you for reading the forum. As of this date 2-9-2007,
Microsoft has failed to come up with ANY answer except the usual
garbage
about checking you IP settings. I was forced on the one machine,
like
Tim
Sullivan here in this forum, to wipe the machine completely out and
reinstall
Windows XP, then the Small Business Server Networking Wizard worked
just
fine. I still have one 4 month old Dell that is having the same
problem
that
as a last resort, I want to wipe out the machine and perform a
restore.
I
created a new posting "The SBS 2003 Network Configuration Wizard
InOp"
in
this same forum to see if anyone else would have the answer and as
of
today,
2-9-2007, Microsoft has failed to resolve the solution. I turned of
everything in the background on the two machines that the Small
Business
Server Networking Wizard would not run on and nothing helped. It is
something
in the OS that is hosed. My concern is if on that Dell, I wipe it
out
and
perform a restore using the Dell restore image, what if the image
has
the
same problem, then I have a machine that I wiped out, still can not
run
the
Small Business Server Networking Wizard successfully and then what?

Hi,

Have you resolved this problem? I'm having exactly the same problem
on
2
computers. I notice you mention McAfee, we have McAfee on these two
computers
but not on others which work OK.

I have even removed it from one, but that made no difference,
however
I
guess it may have something embedded which was not removed.

Thanks for responding. See the problem is I am not getting the

is

As you can see, all the local machines on this network point to
the
SBS
server for IP addresses.

The problem is getting the freaking "The Small Business Server
Networking
Wizard" to get installed into freaking IE.

This is getting freaking ridiculous because everyone keeps saying
to
check
your IP settings. There is nothing wrong with the IP settings or
25
of
27
workstations would not have joined the SBS 2003 domain. It is
these
two
freaking workstations that Internet Explorer will not allow the
"The
Small
Business Server Networking Wizard" to get installed with. It is
like
the
script will not run.

And YES, I went into IE and set all the security to the lowest, I
even
turned on everything that would allow AcitvX and scripts to run,
turned
of
Windows Firewall, disabled McAfee antivirus, still the freaking
and
all
I get
in IE is "The Small Business Server Networking Wizard was not
installed. You
may not be a member of the local Administrators security group on
this
computer or your Local Intranet security settings may be set to
High.
Click
Connect to the network now to try again and click Yes when
prompted.
If
the
wizard fails to install, contact the person responsible for your
network."

ALL of the user accounts belong to the ADMINISTRATORS group. I
have
even
logged on AS administrator, and I get the following in IE again
"The
Small
Business Server Networking Wizard was not installed. You may not
be
a
member
of the local Administrators security group on this computer or
your
Local
.
