| SBS Wizard Setup | |||
After the initial setup of the server follow the To-Do list for completing your installation... that's actually about 50% of the job right there (the other 50% being the main, integrated installation of the OS). You'll run the Add-User wizard which chains into the Add-Computer wizard. You can choose to add the computer accounts at that time (which will automatically assign the user to that computer when you run the connectcomputer wizard) or you can add them later... just make sure you do that before joining them to the domain, and always use the connectcomputer method to join. "it is difficult to debug an install when the management is wizard driven" Actually, it's quite easy to debug an install when you use the wizards. First, this is one product that you MUST RTFM! Really! You'll find the basic guide at http://sbsurl.com/start, and I'd also recommend that you take a look at these two books: http://sbsurl.com/best and http://sbsurl.com/unleashed Secondly, there are TONS of log files that will help you see exactly what the wizards did. The main location for log files is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Windows Small Business Server\Support But, you'll also find plenty of others in the other folders in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Windows Small Business Server These are generally the first place to look when you get an error when running a wizard. And, remember... the Wizards are really just gui scripts. The last screen of each wizard tells you EXACTLY what it's about to do. The log files will tell you which commands it ran. FYI, the CEICW alone runs over 500 command lines... that definitely isn't something you want to do manually! Also you MUST check out http://sbsurl.com/itpro for an overview of SBS for Enterprise Admins. Good luck! Thanks to Jeff at TechSoEasy for this answer |
