Re: Problems after SP2

You can install the SBS-specific parts of the service pack even on the machine that's already at SP2. Just don't install Windows Server SP1 (as opposed to SBS SP1, which is a different thing that also includes the Windows Server SP). Just skip anything that's already been installed, or had a newer version installed. As you say, SP's are cumulative, but we're referring to SBS-specific updates that are not part of the Windows SP, so they're not included in SP2.

As stated in the KB I posted earlier, any issues caused by Windows Server SP2 should be fixed by just running WSUS or MU. I agree that it's unfortunate you have to go to the site, but I recommend only installing SPs remotely if you're able to get to the server if necessary. I agree that it shouldn't happen, but I'm not surprised it did, especially with something as major as a service pack.

I'm thinking that installing the networking updates from the KB is going to fix everything - please post back your results in case someone runs into this in the future.

You suggested installing SBS-specific portions of SP1. Can I install this after I've installed SP2? I though SP's were cummulative? VPN and remote DCOM+ are working again for eveyone.

RWW still doesn't work. Neither does CrossLoop to desktops, this was working before (we no longer use Remote Assistance, it's hit or miss connecting only about half the time we attempt it).

Error: "Connectivity to the remote computer could not be established.
Ensure that the remote computer is on and is connected to the Small Business
Server network."
Guess I'll have to burn some precious gas and make a trip out to my client to try and fix RWW... was hoping to avoid this. Why do service packs always have to break something that was already working?? I thought the whole premise of SBS was that it wouldn't need a nursemaid. Sorry... can you tell I'm peeved?

Thanks for any help.

You need to apply the SBS-specific portions of SP1. You don't need to
actually install Windows Server SP1, but you do need the SBS parts.

You might also consider running the SBS BPA from
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940439/en-us.

If you're still running into problems after that, please post back the
details of what you see when RWW fails. As for the COM error, when
you click the link in the error message, you usually get detailed
instructions for fixing the permissions. Any help there?

Installed SP 2 on SBS 2003 Standard with no SP (SP1 failed to install
a long time ago, just tried SP2 due to imminent Swing Mirgration
which requires SPs, SP2 installed succesfully)

Now RWW and a COM+ application doesn't work. COM+ application returns
"error #70 - permission denied" although we haven't done anything
with permissions on the server since SP2 install.

Hope someone can suggest a solution asap.
