Re: Users cant find SBS server- Help needed

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I'm surprised that the BPA wouldn't have alerted you to file/print sharing not enabled on the SBS internal NIC.

It sounds like you're ok now. Don't bother with the browsing from network neighborhood, use \\shares.

Duh, file and printer sharing was not checked. Thanks. Its the simple stuff
that can get you. That of course fixed the problem with the drives not
connecting to clients

The server still does not show up in Network places nor does any other
computer in the network. The domain shows up but their are no member
computers listed.

when running CEICW, no errors

\\servername shows up all of the share on the server

could not find any listings or tabs for bindings

can you go to \\<servername> from a client and see the shared resources on
the server?

Don't rely on 'network browsing'.
