| Hello Manfred, thank you for your contribution..
|
| I have all the links for SP2 issues on SBS... we have a 20 point
checklist
| when installing SP2... we still haven't finished installing it on all
| servers and this NEW server install issues have not given us much
| confidence. Issues are on the SBS Premium servers and its not consistent,
| some install fine some have certain errors and others have other errors.
|
| Comments made, trying to justify SP2 issues from other posters mention it
| could be original configuration and maybe an error was already sitting on
| the server and this SP2 just highlights it, of course they are just
| reiterating comments from Msoft KBs... Sorry but thats ' baloney ' this
is a
| complete new install and nothing was configured, after install we
installed
| SP2 immediately and then all windows updates.
|
| After uninstalling SP2 numerous times ( applying all mentioned 'fixes')
the
| recent issue was outlook not connecting to Exchange. Yes I did the
| EnableRSS=0 but then this KB is out of date as the registry key EnableRSS
| the registry entry was already in the registry, how this appeared,
previous
| install of SP2 or ISA SP3, I dont know... TThe KB mentioning about the
| EnableRSS=0 refers to ISA SP2, SP3 is out now so reading the KB do we
| install SP2 do the registry fix then install SP3.... sorry dont have time
to
| do all the fixing, testing.
|
| Any how, reading the blogs I found a poster referred to disable RPC in
ISA
| addins and bingo Outlook now working... now I have to investigate the
| implications of this on a working clients server !
