RE: SBS2003 Registry

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hello Jack,

Thank you for your post.
My name is Gary Wang, and it is my pleasure to work with you on this issue!
Please allow me to confirm that my understandings are correct. As I
understand it, the issue is:

You need some explanations about KB 875422

If I have misunderstood your concerns please feel free to let me know.

Suggestion :
==============
Here are my answers for your questions:

Q1: I have 2 NICs but 6 GUID as per step 2 of the article. Why is this so?

A1: This is expected scenario. The other 4 GUIDs are stands for your system
interface like loopback interface and internal network. You don't need to
worry about them. Please review the DhcpIPAddress or IPAddress registry
entries to determine the correct GUID for the LAN adapter, and then note
the GUID. That means, please click the GUID and review the IPAddress
registry for the IP address. For example, click
\{09959484-9C10-44A6-AE80-16BDA9EAAAFB} and noticed the value IPAddress is
192.168.0.x, so this GUID is your internal NIC's GUID.

Q2: In step 3 and 4 of the article my LANNIC entry in the registry is
foreign to the six listed. Do I modify this foreign entry to that of my
internal LAN IP address ? ( I do not want to messy with the registry if I
an uncertain).
A2: Yes, you need to modify the LNNIC entry to the same as the internal
NIC's GUID. LANNIC is set when SBS is first installed. When SBS setup sees
two network cards during the initial setup (first run of setup, prior to
the Component Selection Screen where you choose Exchange, Fax, etc) it will
ask "hey, which of these two NIC's is your internal NIC?". When you select
the NIC, two things happen: First, the other NIC is disabled. Second,
LANNIC is written to the registry with the GUID of the internal network
card. If you then subsequently swap cables, you might run into problems
running the CEICW. Also, please check
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SmallBusinessServer\Connectivity\ICW
and verify that the value of the Last_1st_Nic_Guid entry is the same LAN
adapter GUID

Hope the information helps.

I look forward to your reply. Also, if you have any questions or concerns,
please do not hesitate to let me know. I am happy to help. :-)

Thank you for your time and cooperation!

Best regards,

Gary Wang(MSFT)

| Hi,
| I needen clearity on my SBS2003, regarding this problem. The SBS2003
server
| has two LAN cards an internal and external card.I have run SBS2003 Best
| Practicess Analyser and one of the areas that needed attention is LANNIC
| having an incorrect registry value. recommended fix was article ID :
875422
| method 3 as described below.
|
| Method 3: Modify the registry to list the correct LAN adapter
| Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how
to
| modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify
the
| registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps
| carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify
it.
| Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more
information
| about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following
article
| number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
| 322756 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/) How to back up and
restore
| the registry in Windows
| 1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
| 2. Locate the following registry subkey, where {GUID} is the ID of the
LAN
| network card:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interf
aces\{GUID}
| Notesâ??If more than one GUID is listed, review the DhcpIPAddress or
| IPAddress registry entries to determine the correct GUID for the LAN
adapter,
| and then note the GUID.
| â??Make a note of the external network adapter GUID also.
|
| 3. Locate the following registry subkey:
| HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SmallBusinessServer
| 4. In the SmallBusinessServer subkey, make sure that the value of the
LANNIC
| entry is the GUID that you noted in step 2.
| 5. Locate the following registry subkey:
|
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SmallBusinessServer\Connectivity\ICW
| 6. In the ICW subkey, verify that the value of the Last_1st_Nic_Guid
entry
| is the LAN adapter GUID that you noted in step 2, and then verify that
the
| value of the Last_2nd_Nic_Guid entry is the external network adapter GUID
| that you noted in step 2.
|
| MY questions :
| 1. I have 2 NICs but 6 GUID as per step 2 of the article. Why is this so?
| 2.In step 3 and 4 of the article my LANNIC entry in the registry is
forign
| to the six listed. Do I modify this foreign entry to that of my internal
LAN
| IP address ? ( I do not want to messy with the registry if I an
uncertain).
| Is there an explanation for this foreign entry?
