Re: Vista Bus to SBS2003R2 connectcomputer problems . . .


Hi Joe,
Unfortunately I have been this route too. Have turned off the User Account
Control feature since this apparently locks some parts of the system drive
required by the connectcomputer script.

Also tried all flavours of running the procedure with admin rights. IE right
clicking IE7 and selcting run as Admin, logging in as the actual local admin
account, and running as myself with local admin rights. Still no change to
the situation.

I'd like to know how nshelp.exe attempts to download the files (IE FTP, or
what) and what permissions need to be apparent for this to succeed. Also what
ISA2004 SP3 setings need to be in place. (open ports etc.)

Most of all I'd like some input from MS, there seems to be too many
instances of this problem for it to be not significant.

Regards
Trevor

Hi Chris,
I have spent 3 days amd the weekend on this to no avail.
Yep I run all of the KBs both on the server and on the Vista PC and checked
same many times. I have also unbound the IPv6 protocols from all NICs and
also those tunnel adaptors. Also uninstalled the Link-Layer protocols and
disbled the wireless NIC.

There are two issues:
1. I don't seem to be able to install the Security Certificate by clicking
on the Cert Error and then installing after viewing the certificate (this was
and still is possible when connecting an XPpro machine, I tested after I got
this problem)

I don't think IE on Vista does that. I haven't used it a great deal, but
I've always had to click 'go ahead anyway' and have never been able to
install an erroneous one. There's probably something a bit undocumented
involved.


2. When your start to run http:\\servername\connectcomputer I get the
dialogue that says do you want to run or save nshelp.exe. I click RUN and an
error stating:

Small Business Server Network Configuration Wizard:
"An errior occured while trying to copy the Client setup files. Check the
following and try again"
Check that the proxy box is not ticked (it isn't) It also says if I don'y
have a Proxy setup then I need to rerun the Client Deployment component on
the server. Since IE7 appears to be setup with a Proxy until I disable it I
haven't run the Client Deployment component on the server. Not sure how to do
this either.

If I click save instead of Run I can save the nshelp.exe to the desktop. But
as soon as I run that file (as admin) I get the same error.

Hope you guys can help, this is drive me and a number of others to
distraction.

A wildly long shot: I was having trouble today getting connectcomputer
to run at all, it kept telling me I needed to be an admin, even after
making a local admin of the same name and password. The answer there is
to turn off user account control. There was no ISA involved, and I
wonder if you are seeing the ISA manifestation of the same kind of thing.
