Re: Users cant find SBS server- Help needed

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Can you follow the instructions to sort the lannic registry entry? I believe the SBS BPA provides instructions or a link?

You may need to check for ghosted nics, and delete those.


>>>
>>> 1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd.exe, and then press ENTER.
>>> 2. Type set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1, and then press
>>> ENTER.
>>> 3. Type Start DEVMGMT.MSC, and then press ENTER.
>>> 4. Click View, and then click Show Hidden Devices.

Is the SBS best practices analyser installed? - if not install and run it
and look for NIC advanced features that need to be disabled.

Please post the output of "ipconfig /all" run from a command prompt on the
server, and from one workstation.
