Re: Post Transition Pack SBS

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



Most of the wizards should still work, IME. But that login script fails. It's SBS specific, and not necessary in full Server anyway.

The simple answer with Post-TP SBS is - it's not SBS any more. It's Server 2003 Standard Edition. And Exchange 2003 Standard Edition. And you should be using the native tools to administer it. If something from the old tools works? Great. But if it doesn't? Sorry, it's no longer supported.

Hi All,

I applied the transition pack to my SBS server this weekend. I noticed that the links to some of the toolls disappeared, but that the tools themselves remained...

I see now though, that the SBS login script fails:

SBS_LOGIN_SCRIPT.bat gives:

C:\Program Files\Support Tools>\\company.local\Clients\Setup\setup.exe /s UBIQ-SERV1
Configuration information could not be read from the domain controller, either b
ecause the machine is unavailable, or access has been denied.


The binaries are all still in place.. but I'm guessing that something on the servers changed (but what?) OR is it that you cant use any of the SBS tools after adding the transition pack (eg Add Applications etc), even though the binaries are still there... ?

Thanks,

Adrian
