Yep, Disk 1 then the R2 Technologies disk, and it wants a reboot which will
have to wait until tomorrow morning.

Thanks again Les!!

Thanks - Makes sense, I'll give it a try in a bit - got a T1 down at the
moment. <sigh>

Give it the first CD and see if it's happy.

Sorry for the confusion, I mis-spoke, doing 5 things at once here (as
usual - working for a small company = wearing many hats).

It's SBS2003 R2 Premium SP1, but I don't have a SP1 disk - the
installation CDs are SP1 - hence my confusion. What disk does it want???

Thanks for your patience!
=)

What SP level is the SBS?

This needs to be SBS R2, and current updates would bring it to at
*least* SBS SP1 (including WS2k3 SP1), and probably WS SP2.

Have you installed and run the SBS BPA (link below)?

Hi Les,

When I try to add this, it asks for the Service Pack 1 CD - but the
server does not have SP1 installed?

I'm confused...

In case you're running SBS R2, you can utilize the file resource
manager (seperate install, add/remove windows programs) and do this
programatically, by file *type*. In other words, you can allow or
disallow and/or set limits on file types stored on the server - and
it's also very granualar as it gives you control right down to the
folder/file/file type level.

Also very useful as a reporting tool - who's storing what where.

So I went into the user's folder and found that "My Music" is taking
up 694MB
while "My Pictures" holds 286MB. That is virtually the whole 1GB of
personal
folder space taken up. I will certainly have them delete all that
stuff.

Thanx guys.

Thanx for the prompt responses. I found that the user has used
.99GB of their
1GB limit. Isn't this the quota for users' personal stuff like my
documents,
etc? If so I should have the user needs to delete or move stuff
from their
system or keep increasing quotas for everyone until their personal
stuff
takes up the whole server storage or am I wrong here?

Thanx.

Check their usage and disk quotas (right-click the disk,
properties, Quota
tab, click Quota Entries near the bottom to see all usage - you
can double
click the user to change their personal limit)

user is trying
to
save a document into the SBS shared drive and gets and error
that "not
enough
free space, disk full" when there is abundant capaciity on the
HDD on the
server?

Thanx.
