Re: SBS folder problem

Did you do all other security updates prior to doing trying SP2?
There is a known issue with trying to install SP2 if there are a large
number of other updates installed
Did you run the BPA as Merv suggested?

Yes it's set to 1, the antivirus software wasn't installed when Sp2
failed. (wasn't 'live' yet. / Using trend CSM)
Yes the regular administrator account.

I used cacls to check and set the permissions, but it still refuses to let
me even view c:\documents and settings\all users.

And I can't even understand why there is a c:\users\all users, or copies
of administrator/default user they all seem ok except of course "all
users".

That article is for "users shared folders" which isn't where I am having
issues.

Check this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SmallBusinessServer

Then look at the ServicePackNumber key. Is it set to "1"? If not, SBS
2003 SP1 may not have installed correctly.

Also, have you tried turning off your antivirus software (or other 3rd
party software) on the server and then running Windows 2003 SP2?

Are you installing Windows 2003 SP2 using the Domain Administrator
account?

Check permissions on the All Users folder...

Administrators: Full
Everyone: Read & Execute, List, Read
System: Ful:l
Users: Read & Execute, List, Read


Check Permissions on Users folder...

After isntalling and running it, updating the problems it highlighted,
it had 2 issues.
#1 POP mail connector (I didn't bother with this as it wont ever be
used)
#2 SP2 for windows 2003 which fails to install.

The crazy magic folders of nonremoval remain intact.

Hi Aart,

Trying installing and running the SBS 2003 BPA to see if it can find
any problems (make sure you have the latest update installed)...

Hi I have the oddest problem I have ever seen, the c:\documents and
settings\all users is untouchable, as is c:\users\all users

I have not changed permissions intentionally or at all.

When logged in as administrator I can't browse / move or rename the
folder, also a new all users.windows folder is created. If I right
click properties the folder there is no security tab.

I have run xcacls / cacls to try and veiw / change permissions on this
folder, it changes but still i Can't browse it.

When I try to run windows 2003 Sp2 it fails to install as it wants to
write a bunch of .bmp files to the all users\application data folder.

What should I do ?


Thanks
Aart
