RE: Can't install Windows Small Business 2003 Client


Hi Ulises,

Thanks for posting back.

This behavior generally occurs when the client computer is not configured
to use the server that is running Windows SBS 2003 as the Domain Name
System (DNS) server. All client computers on the Windows SBS 2003 network
must use the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the internal network adapter
on the server that is running Windows SBS for DNS resolution. You must not
configure an alternative DNS IP address on the client computers. By doing
so, you can cause connectivity issues and slow logon times.

To resolve this behavior, change the DNS settings on the client to point to
the IP address of the internal network adapter on the server that is
running Windows SBS 2003. Remove all other DNS entries.

Please refer to the following KB article

"The list of users and computers could not be found" error message during
client network configuration in Windows Small Business Server 2003

Thanks for your time, Please try the suggestions above and let me know the
results at your earliest convenience. I look forward to hearing from you
soon.

Have a nice day!
