Re: Transition pack installation tell no SBS

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hello Jonas,

Thank you for posting here.

According to your description, I understand that you get error "system is
newer" when you try to install Transition pack on SBS. If I have
misunderstood the problem, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Based on my research, this is because the Transition pack version is not
match the SBS version.

What's version of your Transition pack? As I know, we have SBS 2003
Transition pack, SBS 2003 sp1 Transition pack and SBS 2003 R2 Transition
pack. Meanwhile, SBS standard version Transition pack and premium version
Transition pack are different. Please ensure your Transition pack version
is match with your SBS version.

Note: the Windows Server 2003 sp2 does not have Transition pack. Therefore,
this issue does not related to Windows Server 2003 sp2.

Additionally, to verify the SBS 2003 sp1 version:

On the SBS server, click Start, click Run, type "regedit" (without the
quotation marks) and click OK. Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SmallBusinessServer, and check the
data of the registry value ServicePackNumber. Is it set to "1"? If not,
then this problem will occur because SBS 2003 SP1 has not been completely
installed. To successfully install SBS 2003 SP1, we must install all five
updates listed below. Additionally, the updates must be installed in the
sequence listed.

Downloading and Installing Windows Small Business Server 2003 Service Pack 1
http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/0/f/e0fee8ce-768d-41c0-8871-9bc48e0
b3fc3/ToDownLoadFilesandReadInstructions.htm

Note: If one or more of the listed components is already installed, you can
skip to the next step.

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 again.

If we cannot resolve the issue after we perform the above steps, please
help me collect some information for further investigation:

1. Please open Registry Editor and export all the registry keys under the
node:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SmallBusinessServer

Then please send the .reg file to me for analyze.

2. Please capture screenshots on the "system is newer" error messages and
send the pictures to me at v-terliu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

3. Gather MPS network report on SBS:

a. Download MPSrepot_network from
http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/b/1/bb139fcb-4aac-4fe5-a579-30b0bd9
15706/MPSRPT_NETWORK.EXE

b. Run MPSRPT_NETWORK.exe on the server box.

c. The tool will automatically collect the information. This procedure will
take 10~15 minutes.

d. Open Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder:
%SystemRoot%\MPSReports\Network\Reports\Cab\

e. Send the .cab file directly to me at v-terliu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

I hope these steps will give you some help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

Terence Liu(MSFT)
