Well for everybody's benefit; Here is the solution if you make this mistake.
I was almost onto the solution and started second guessing everything I was
thinking. I gave up and called Microsoft $245 later:

In IIS go to web extensions and enable .Net 2.0 and everything is fixed.

I'll add that in your original post your issues all appear to be with IIS;
there's a good chance a seasoned SBS CSS rep could help resolve those
issues.

Well, CSS is a good option - if there's a solution they'll help you
through it.

Too late it's deployed, had a schedule to keep I thought it was a minor
problem. I need to call MS I guess. I really hate to do that too. I will
have
to pay for my mistake I guess

Hi Robert,

The issue is that the scripted installation of SBS must proceed with
everything in a known state. If updates are applied to the base OS prior
to
completing SBS setup, then all bets are off. What's worse, is that the
number of updates available is constantly growing, so any solution that
might have worked last week, month, year, probably won't work now.

You have to get the updates uninstalled, get things back to where they
would
have been had you not updated. But I don't know if that's even possible,
I'd
not take a chance.

If I were in your shoes, I'd start fresh - honest. It's really, really
important to get a solid installation.

Les since you seem to know what happened right off the cuff, I must
not be
the only one this has hapened to. There must be a way to resolve it.
Does anybody else have a solution documented?


"Les Connor [SBS MVP]" wrote:

Sure you can.

Short of calling MS support, I don't know of another option - unless
you
can
get the updates uninstalled, and then re-run SBS setup in maintenance
mode.

I did run updates prior to completing th SBS setup.
What do I do now; I can not redo the install.

Hi Robert,

During the installation, did you complete the entire SBS setup
prior
to
applying any updates?
