Re: Win 2003 to SBS 2003 AD issues

Hello Joe,

Thank you for posting here. Let's also thank Lanwench for the input.

According to your description, I understand that you get GPO in the SYSVOL
error after you join SBS to a Windows 2003 domain. If I have misunderstood
the problem, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Based on my research, the incorrect steps you install SBS in a Windows 2003
domain caused this issue. To install SBS 2003 in an existing Windows 2003
domain, I strongly suggest you perform the steps in the following KB:

How to install Small Business Server 2003 in an existing Active Directory
domain
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=884453

If you still get the error about SYSVOL permissions when you perform the
above steps, we need to install whole SBS 2003 sp1 again:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/0/f/e0fee8ce-768d-41c0-8871-9bc48e0
b3fc3/ToDownLoadFilesandReadInstructions.htm

A. Service Pack 1 for the Windows Server 2003 operating system
B. Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 Service Pack 1
C. Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 1
E. Windows XP SP2 for Client Deployment
F. Windows Small Business Server 2003 Service Pack 1

After you applied the whole SBS 2003 SP1, please run CEICW

Go through the follow KB and Rerun CEICW carefully.

How to configure Internet access in Windows Small Business Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/825763/en-us

If the issue persists, we may need to manually rebuild the SYSVOL tree and
its content in SBS:

I hope these steps will give you some help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

| Hehe. Good catch. Actually, we had a second domain controller. So we
| moved shared content there along with the 5 FSMO roles. Then we
| installed Windows from the SBS disks, DCPROMO'd the server and assumed
| the FSMO roles from the second DC, and then completed the SBS components
| install afterward.

| The 2 DCs both appear in the Domain Controllers OU, NOT in the
| SBSServers OU. I checked another SBS 2003 installation and this is
| consistent with that configuration. So we will leave that alone for now.

|
| It just sounded like the permissions in the AD were taking precedence
| over the SYSVOL permissions. I did find this KB:
|
| http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;828760
|
| which is implies that the problem is resolved by applying SP1. But SP1
| is already installed, so the problem must have appeared during the
| installation process.
|
| Thanks again for your help.
