Hi Joe,
Thanks for your reply.
Good point about how many of these patches are there??
There are two documents which seem to assume that ISA2004 is at SP2. The
latest is SP3 and contain many of the KBs/Patches required for Vista
integration. I have listed the sysinfo dumps for both my Vista PC and SBS box
in my last reply to Chris Hanna. I have also listed my Config /All dumps
(sanitised for mr public)

If you can spot any ommisions I'll investigate. Vista is clearly not ready
for simple integration with SBS but with MS pushing SP1 out to 2008 I don't
think there is any option but to get stuck in as many of my clients will not
appreciate issues such as this and will just go elsewhere for Vista
deployments . . . and I can't have that.

Regards
Trevor

Hi Trevor,

I ran into this problem with a few Vista Bus laptops - Whenever I tried
to connect over a wireless connection.

1) Make sure you are on a wired connection, not wireless. There is no
need to disable the UAC.

I did three yesterday, new HP towers, not a wireless NIC between them.

2) Make sure you have installed the vista patches on your SBS machine.

3) In Control Panel -> Network Connections, disable all network adapters
except your wired NIC. There is no need to worry about your IP6 bindings.

Just the one NIC, with wires.

4) Open internet explorer (no need to run as admin) and go to
http://server/connectcomputer, enable intranet settings when prompted.

With a brand new machine, you're a local admin by default.

5) Follow the bouncing ball.

Which led to a message telling me that only an admin could do this.
Disable UAC and it all worked.

So how many of these patches are there? The only possible explanation is
that there is at least one more than I was aware of, and I went through
the MS documents and a couple of forum articles. I'm not currently where
the documents and my notes are, so I don't recall the numbers exactly,
especially as I'd just installed Exchange SP2 in the same session. I did
find a reference to a hotfix that appeared not to exist any longer, but
was part of SP2, but that was relevant only to Exchange.





To install the certificate on Vista...

1) right click your IE icon and choose "run as administrator"

2) When prompted that there is a problem with the website certificate,
click "Continue to this website (not recommended)."

3) Click on the certificate error, near your URL bar, and then View
Certificate.

4) Click Install Certificate -> Place all certificates in the following
store -> Trusted Root Certification Authorities.

5) Reboot if necessary

Oh joy. So only people with admin passwords can install certificates in
IE7. And a possible *reboot*? *And* you have to surf with IE as an
admin? One step forwards...
