An even better idea!

Just like I thought. Thanks! New version of SBS 2003 R2, coming up!

I'm just double-checking, and I don't have time to go through the entire OEM license agreement, but would it be correct to presume that you cannot move a copy of SBS from one computer to another once it's been activated, even if you remove it completely from previous said computer?

Add the user's domain account to the Administrators group on the local computer using Computer Management. When they login to the domain, they will be a local admin on the computer, but not the domain. You should not even see those numbers if the computer can contact a domain controller. You...

That did it. Adding the zone and appropriate A record now allows me to go to the site.

Another thing that I should have mentioned *slaps self* is that the name of the site and the name of the domain are different. The site is, for example, is www.site.us, while the domain is name.local. I keep scouring the web for DNS info and I'm not sure if I need to create a new zone for this...

I forgot to mention, the router is a Briteport 8120 from broadxent. I looked at their page but was unable to locate information on if it supported loopback.

It resolves to the external IP address.

I can ping it, by name and IP. Mapped to all unassigned, network is just 2 servers, both running win2k, the other being the AD controller and DHCP server, but both servers have static IPs. They are connected to a switch which, in turn, connects to the DSL router to go to the internet.

I'm running windows 2000 advanced server and IIS. I can access the websites fine from an external connection, but I cannot access from a computer on the same network. In firefox, I get a message that the connection was refused. I'm not sure where in IIS I need to configure this, or if I need...

I have an Axim X30, that connects wirelessly at home without any problem. Thing is, after using my home connection, I have to soft-reset my Axim to get an IP address from my wireless connection at work. At home, I'm using WPA + TKIP and doing MAC address filtering. At work, an open wireless...

Yes, go to a command prompt and type in "convert c: /fs:ntfs" without the quotes. It will convert when you reboot.

I've seen this before. In outlook, go to tools-options, and then to calendar options, then time zone. Make sure the time zone settings there are correct.

Why not move the roles before removing the 2003 server? I think that would be cleaner than having to go through the whole process of forcibly seizing the roles.

The closest thing you can get to that is the Automated system recovery wizard, which you can get to via windows backup. It's under start-all programs-accessories-system tools-backup.
