Hi

Have an SBS 2003 network with XP clients.
Have new laptop which is running windows 7 pro

I have downloaded KB 926505 and installed on the server.
I have tried to connect via http://server01/connectcomputer but I get so far
and then:
an error occurred when configuring networking settings see your nework
administrator

I have manually input the IP and DG etc on the NIC and tried to manually
connect - no luck there either

I ahve tried to go back to the work group and then attempt connection
again - no luck

Is there a straight forward guide to this?

Am I missing something

Many posts on the net suggest the only way forward is to reinstall win 7 and
start again???

thanks!

I'm running 7 on multiple 2003 servers...

Did you install the updates on the server for Group Policy, also on the
win 7 boxes?

Do you have your SBS 2003 DHCP and DNS properly running and setup?

Your Win 7 machine should be on the SBS 2003 network, be getting DHCP
assigned address and should ONLY use the SBS 2003 server for DNS.

It appears that either you have DHCP or DNS misconfigured on the SBS box
or that you're not properly using SBS as the ONLY DNS SERVER in your
network - it should also be the only DHCP server in your network.

Hi there and thanks for your reply

I haven't loaded on any other updates other than 926505 - do you have the KB
number or link?? The server is set up for auto patching (although the 926505
wasn't installed)

DHCP and DNS is fine - I only manually configured the win 7 workstation
because I couldn;t get it connected - will correct back to auto on the
workstation

Will try again and revert

thanks again

No, I don't have them, I apply all optional and critical updates,
reboot, then do the same to Win 7, and it just works.

Hi there

just to confirm with you what has happenned - I spent 4 hours removing from
the domain, then adding again. Manually adding, using the wizard - it drove
me mad. I then phoned Dell for some moral support - we then spent 1.5 hours
rechecking everything and attempting to add to the domian - still no luck

We then added a computer to the OU via AD. Then for some reason - we were
manually able to join the domain.

There is no apparent reason for this! Just happy now that we have sorted it
out!!!

thanks for your help
