Re: Vista Bus to SBS2003R2 connectcomputer problems . . .

Trevor
Have you installed the patches outlined in this KB?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926505/en-us

There are patches for the both the SBS server and the workstation.

Have you disabled/unchecked IPv6 networking pieces on the laptop. SBS doesn't use IPv6 (for now anyway)

You don't say what the error is that you're getting after starting the nshelp.exe

Hi Guys,
I have been running an SBS2003R2 premium network for some time now with
XPpro workstations and with ISA2004SP3. All server and workstation updates
are current through WSUSSP3.

I am now adding my fist Vista laptop and had no luck in attaching to the SBS
domain using the prefered ..\connectcomputer despite running the many KB
articles for the server and vista workstation. I have also been through a
diagnostics session with Jeff@TechSoEasy who is an emminent SBS guru. I can
connect manually and have detached using the recommended proceedure before
attempting the rejoin (still with the same problem)

I see that others here have also had the same problem as myself and wondered
what the Microsoft official position is regarding its fix. IE try to
connectcomputer and get an error after nshelp.exe runs and starts to download
files.

I am happy to provide as much information as is required to get to the
bottom of this problem, as I'm frustrated by the lack of conclusions evident
in other Q's relating to this matter.

Given that a fix is discovered I will post in the currently open
Experts-Exchange.com session that has been running for some days now.
