Yes, if you follow the rules, and use the wizards, it is pretty much idiot
proof.
Got to ask.... how were the rest of the computers joined to the domain, and
if you don't know, and no one there knows, then maybe you should get one of
the really good books on the subject and read up.

That's the ticket. We already have Vista clients on the domain. I just
was
concernerd about the amatuer nameing the client HPF06 and running
http://server/connectcomputer
From there your instructions are great.
Once I can see it from RD I would be fine... for the rest. It'ss getin it
there.. from here.. follow that?
If he runs: http://server/connectcomputer will it ask him for a PC name
etc..
Thanks.. Thanks very much

Hi Mark:
Add the patches for Vista to your SBS, and the patches for SBS to the
Vista.
See Vista Notes below:
Download, install, and run the SBS BPA, and fix any issues it finds.
www.sbsbpa.com
Using the wizards, add a computer or, if a new users, add a user /
computer.
you will need someone on site to do this next bit:
From the computer, open a browser and type:
http://servername/connectcomputer
and follow the bouncing ball.
Vista Notes:
Follow these links for Vista patches to apply to the SBS server:
Install the Vista and Outlook 2007 compatibility update on the SBS server
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=9BF2F1E4-1B2C-471B-A284-E0C8C169FAC3&displaylang=en
or:
http://www.microsoft.com:80/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=46E95C56-1A4C-45BD-8D69-5F41FF8F1F22&displaylang=en
Be sure to read the bottom part of this page for additional requirements.
Here is another MS article about the same fix:
Windows Small Business Server 2003: Windows Vista and Outlook 2007
compatibility update
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=926505
Review the following: Each has a couple of links to follow:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555912
For Vista Clients to work properly with SBS 2003:
To join the domain, Vista must be Business, Enterprise or Ultimate.
And should/must be joined to the SBS network using the connectcomputer
wizard
http://msmvps.com/blogs/bradley/archive/2007/04/04/vista-slow-after-sp2-installed.aspx
There have been issues with slow logon times, where turning off
auto-tuning
on the Vista client may help:
From a command prompt, type:
netsh interface tcp set global rss=disabled
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled "
Also, disable all firewalls. Pay particular attention to McAffee, as you
must disable all services in MSCONFIG.
Possible DNS Config Problems
Check your DNS settings on the Vista client.
In particular if you are using "Append these DNS suffixes (in order):"
make
sure the internal
domain is in the list and at the top.
At a command prompt you should be able to resolve the server name without
a
DNS suffix (e.g.
nslookup servername).
WSUS 2.0?
One thread discussed a problem with an older installation of WSUS that
would
not update Vista
Not tested by me.:
Old installation prior to Nov 2006 of WSUS that does not allow Vista
Patches
?
1. If the WSUS was installed prior to November, you need to go back
into
the WSUS console and unclick all products/save/reclick all products/save
and
resync.
2. If you are behind wsus 2.0 you need to install wsus 30 to allow the
Vista
to manually MU. Behind 2.0 it won't/can't.
