Ive just tried reinstalling an sbs2003 server from scratch onto a new (also posted in server.setup)

 

Not sure which was the best group, so posting to both.

 

Ive just tried reinstalling an sbs2003 server from scratch onto a new

harddrive, it goes through the inital setup fine. It then gets into windows

and runs the server setup where i use the default options (its a 2 NIC

system with 1 NIC disabled to start with) I install everything and it goes

through happily installing exchange etc. It gets to server tools and says

that its installing IE6.0 and sits there. Ive left it for about 3 hours and

all that happens is that the setup.exe is using around 1gb of ram. From the

bottom installtion progress bar i would say its about 80% through the server

setup.

 

Im a bit stumped as to what this could be - any ideas would be great.

Hello Adrian,

 

There is still a better group for SBS, because a lot is different from "normal"

server:

microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs

 

Best regards

Hello Adrian,

 

Crossposting is fine, because if you add all groups to one posting you can

any answer posted to the different groups. So i think you mean multiposting,

where you have to switch between all groups.

 

Best regards
