Re: Server Mngt- Backup and Monitor and report Broken after SP2 in

Yep, it seems there are serious problems. The backup directory should have been configured as a virtual directory and it seems it's not. The only thing that comes to mind right now is if you are lucky and there is a copy of the metabase from before you installed SP2.

In IIS Manager, right click on the server name and select 'All Tasks', 'Backup/Restore Configuration...". From the list that says 'AutomaticBackup' see if you can find one with time prior to the update. If you do select it and 'Restore'. If not, then wait just in case someone has a solution here otherwise try Microsoft CSS

Sorry I couldn't be of more help

Thanks.

1) On the backup question the tab says directory, not virtual directory.
Perhaps that is the problem. All of the other persmissions are as you said.

2) On the monitoring question.
I go to SBS Server setup.
I select Maintenance on Server Tools.
Monitoring is not installed, I select install and I get the following error
dialog
"Monitoring depends on Server Tools, which has an install problem" the only
option on this dialog is OK. That is why I tried to uninstall Server Tools
and then reinstall it.
Somehow this all got broke after SP2

Thanks again

For the backup component...Go to 'Properties' under the 'Backup' virtual
directory click on 'Directory Security tab and on the 'Edit' button under
'Authentication and access control'. Make sure that the integrated Windows
authentication option is selected. Under the 'Virtual Directory' tab, make
sure that the Application Pool is set to 'DefaultAppPool'

For the monitoring and reporting... now it's getting tricky. Since you
tried to reinstalled what exactly are the error you are getting. You wrote
that you tried to "remove the server tools". There is no need to remove
server tools. You have to "reinstall" the 'Monitoring' component
