Re: Sudden Issues with DHCP & Remote Access

I dropped Network Load Balancing as a service since I only had one NIC, not
knowing why it was installed. There was no 2nd IP address configured.

I also deleted RRAS, DHCP and DNS and re-created them using the wizards,
without errors, re-ran the ICW, re-booted, and have no errors in the event
logs after booting.

I re-booted a test workstation, after doing a ipconfig/release and DNS
flush, and could not get an IP Address, because the domain controller/logon
service could not be found.

Everything else seems to work including RWW, email, etc. when IP addresses
are manually entered on the workstations.

This same issue was around back in 2006, after installing Windows 2003/SP2
on SBS 2003/Premium with the ISA 2004 service. The techs/blogger blamed it on
faulty ISA settings. This is a Standard version that does not include ISA
2004. Are the settings hidden somewhere in the IIS?

Is the DHCP service actually 'running' (started) on the SBS server?
Is the SBS second NIC disabled in the BIOS (or just in Windows)?
Are there any other errors in the SBS event logs?

I applied the Dependonservice values to both the workstation and server and
restarted, removed the workstation, restarted and tried rejoin, did not
work.
No DNS Servers configured for local system.
After assigning IP Addresses to the workstation I could rejoin the domain
without any issues.

The said workstation had all of the services , like RRAS, disabled, as it
is
on all other workstations.

Microsoft Update had nothing available and the BPA was clean. It did state
that the network drivers were more than 1 year old.

Broadcom Netxtrem Gigabit on Server. There are 2 but only one is
configured/enabled. We use an external firewall/router.

After reinstalling SBS SP1, did you go to Windows up and download any
available updates, then re-run a scan with the SBS 2003 BPA to see if
there
were any issues that needed to be fixed?

You may want to unjoin/rejoin a workstation to the domain to see if that
corrects the problem.

After completing the SBS SP1 Re-Install, correcting the Registry and
successfully running the wizards for RRAS and Internet, I tested a
workstation to see if they can connect using DHCP. They can no longer
find
the domain controller.

Event ID: 5719 Source: NETLOGON
No domain controller is available for domain DOMAINNAME due to the
following.
There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon
request.

BPA States that all is well

Current other known issues:
Suitehelp.dll problem after SBS SP1 install.
Bad RRAS Server shows up upon rebuild in RRAS.

In RRAS | Server Status, if you right click on the 'workstation' in

and choose "Remove from Directory", does this get rid of it?

Merv,

You have been very helpful and I thank you very much.
I created the key and values as shown on the link you sent and the
RAS
wizard did it's job.

But, if I do a Rebuild Server List in RRAS, the workstation where I
disabled
and deleted everything still shows up in the list. If I delete it,
it
comes
back again when I do a rebuild. How do I get rid of it all together?

Hi again,

I downloaded and re-installed the SBS-SP1 and I get the same
error
as
before
when running the RRAS wizard from the server management console.
From other posts dealing with these messages it states that the
path
for
the
Clientapps folder is wrong in the registry, with instructions to
change
it. I
do not have the key or field described, which is supposed to
contain
the
path. I'm thinking about creating it, but don't know what it's
supposed
to
look like.

Extract of errors:

Running IExpress to build the package file returned OK
*** ERROR Cannot find the client setup key specifying the
destination
folder.

Specifying Error location (in CMAK) returned OK

*** CRRASCommit::CommitCMAK returned Error 80004005
*** CRRASCommit::CommitEX returned Error 80004005

Hi Merv,

I ran the BPA and it states that all is well, including the
install
of
SBS
SP1, I am in the process of re-downloading SP1 and will do
another
install,
see what happens.

As far as the symptons go, the workstations are looking
'elsewhere'
for
the
DHCP server, because they were somehow notified by the
workstation
that
it
was the new service provider, through Netbeui or something
other.
I
disabled
and deleted all of the services and protocols on the
workstation,
it's
just
getting the workstations to go back to looking in the correct
location,
the
SBS server.

The incompatibility statement was made after reading many of
the
bulletins,
noting that my SBS was suffering from many of them, but was
still
functional
because i didn't need to make any changes, etc. In my install
work
sheets
from my last rebuild a couple of years back, I have the SBS
SP1
as
the
final
update, so do not know why the issues were not resolved, or
maybe
a
recent
update undid one or the other SBS SP1 patches? We'll see?

I have all of the latest sharepoint and exchange service packs
installed.
Will I need to re-install those as well, or just the SBS SP1?

Now I have done a bunch of reading and find that the

2003
SP1&2
were
incompatible with sbs2003...

Not sure where you read this. WIndows 2003 SP1 adn SP2 are
compatible
with
SBS, but they cannot be installed on the SBS Server without
alos
installing
SBS 2003 SP1.

http://www.smallbizserver.net/tabid/266/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/68/How-to-install-Service-Pack-1-for-SBS-2003.aspx

In the procedures, you can substitute:

Windows 2003 SP2 for SP1
Exchange 2003 SP2 for SP1
Windows Sharepoint Services SP3 for SP1

On the workstation that is now a 'server'... did she install
DHCP
on
the
workstation. I'd unplug that workstation until you've got
the
SBS
2003
server up and running again and then troubleshoot the
workstation
offline.

I think that I have found what may have caused the problem,
but
still
do
not
have a fix. One of the new users decided to turn her
workstation
a
server
for
connecting other computers, installed old netbeui protocols
and a
slew
of
other old stuff into a network connection. This somehow
corrupted
the
sbs
function and when i went to run the wizard, found that the
server
