Re: Problems after SP2

Can you RDP into the server from a domain-joined client PC over the LAN? Or from the remote PC after connecting over VPN?

Can you connect to RWW and then remote to a client PC, or is this effecting clients and server?

Hi Dave,

Well, I'm back at the client. Installed Exchange SP2, Sharepoint SP1, SBS
SP1, Vista compatiblity etc with the only notable failure being Outlook 2003
SP1 which we don't care about.

RWW still doesn't work. Testing as Domain Administrator, RWW is enabled. BPA
notified that RWW wasn't using ASP.NET v1 so I changed it from ASP.NET v2.
CompanyWeb got the same complaint but the setting is disabled so it's stuck
at v2.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Michael

For RWW, I'm assuming you've checked the basics? It's enabled on the SBS,
the account you're logging in with has the appropriate rights, nothing
noteworthy in the logs?
