Re: DCPromo Error

Hi Luke,

Thanks for updating.

After researching your MPS Report and logs, I found the Event ID1058 and
1030. Obviously that's related to your problem. Please try the following
steps to see if the problem can be resolved.

1. Make sure that the TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper service is started on the SBS
Server. To verify that the TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper service is running on a
Windows Server 2003-based computer, follow these steps:
a. Click "Start", point to "Administrative Tools", and then click
"Services".
b. In the "Services" list, click "TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper". Verify that the
value under the "Status" column is "Started". Verify that the value under
the "Startup Type" column is "Automatic".

If the "Status" or the "Startup Type" values are not correct, follow these
steps:
a) Right-click "TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper", and then click "Properties".
b) In the "Startup type" list, click "Automatic".
c) In the "Service status" area, if the service is not started, click
"Start".
d) Click "OK".

2. Please also make sure that the Distributed File System service is
started. You can check this as step 1.

3. Check the contents and the permissions of the C:\windows\sysvol\Sysvol
folder. Ensure System account has full control on the folder.

Hope above information helps.

If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to let me know.


Best regards,

<Hi Luke,
<
<Thanks for updating.
<
<I haven't received your MPS Report yet.
<
<According to the error 1058, please take the following steps to see if the
<issue can be resolved:
<
<Step 1: Have you run the CEICW to configure your network settings? Please
<re-run the CEICW on the SBS Server as per the following Knowledge Base
<article:
<
<825763 How to configure Internet access in Windows Small Business Server
<2003
<http://support.microsoft.com/?id=825763
<
<Step 2: Then follow the steps below to see if the network binding order is
<configured correctly on SBS server:
<
<1) Right-click My Network Places, and then click Properties.
<2) On the Advanced menu, click Advanced Settings.
<3) Under Connections, use the up and down arrow buttons to put the
<connections in the following order:
<- Local Area Connection for the internal adapter
<- Local Area Connection for the external adapter
<- Remote Access Connections
<
<Step 3: Make sure that the "Bypass traverse checking" right is granted to
<the required groups. To do so:
<
<1. On the SBS server, click Start, point to Programs or All Programs,
point
<to Administrative Tools, and then click Domain Controller Security Policy.
<2. Expand Security Settings, expand Local Policies, and then click User
<Rights Assignment.
<3. Double-click the "Bypass traverse checking" policy setting.
<4. Click to check the "Define these policy settings" box, if the option is
<not enabled already.
<5. The following groups should be listed for this policy setting:
<
<Administrators
<Authenticated Users
<Everyone
<Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible Access
<If any of these groups are missing, click Add, type the name of the
missing
<group, and then click OK.
<
<6. Click OK to close the policy setting.
<7. Run the "gpupdate /force" command.
<
<Step 4: Run Dfsutil tool to purge the cache on the servers:
<
<1. Click "Start", click "Run", type "cmd" (without the quotation marks) in
<the "Open" box, and then press ENTER.
<
<2. At the command prompt, type "dfsutil /PurgeMupCache" (without the
<quotation marks), and then press ENTER.
<
<Note that dfsutil.exe is included with Windows Server 2003 Support Tools.
<To install Support Tools, run \\SUPPORT\TOOLS\SUPTOOLS.MSI located on your
<Windows Server 2003 CD-ROM. You can also extract it directly from the
<\\SUPPORT\TOOLS\SUPPORT.CAB cabinet file.
<
<Please take you time to try the steps.
<
<If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to let me know.
