Small Business Server 4.5 error message

[JayE]

Hi everyone,

I hope you can help me.

One of our laptop users (using W98 on a Small Business Server 4.5 network) for a long time now has been getting a series of messages come up each time she boots up saying that SBS is trying to set up her computer on the network and failing. This is really starting to annoy her, I know it would me too, because you click on one, and another one comes up and then another (all different).

I think this problem may have started when I tried to change her computer name as it was not the name I wanted (all desktop PCs are 10xx whereas I wanted mobile PCs to be 20xx). I don't belive I have a record of what the name was before, or I'd try and change it back.

One of the error messages refers to a folder called NTSERVER/clients/response/2011 (the current name) but I see there is no such folder in that location. I now know why it's happening, but not how to stop it - especially as the PC is working perfectly once you clear the messages.

The SBS setup message is in her Startup group, but each time I remove it - it comes back again the next time the laptop boots.

The user and I are getting rather exasperated now, and I would value your help.

Regards,
Jay/UK

Probably has something to do with the SBS Console.

Try going in there and go to more tasks and managing computers and see if there is something in there that is causing your problems.
