Installation locks up eating memory

July 8, 2008

Hi

I posted a few days ago about a problem with SBS2003 fresh install locking

up during server tools setup on Internet Explorer 6.0 installtion. I had a

reply saying it was probably due to an active internet connection. Since

this i have installed a brand new harddrive and pulled the plug on the

router while attempting the setup. Again the initial part of the setup is

fine, its when it gets to the actual server configuration. Its gets as far

as installing server tools, the message says its doing internet explorer

6.0. Ive left it at this point for several hours and it gets no futher. A

look in the process list shows the setup process is just eating more and

more memory. After a few hours it was up past 1gb of memory.

I searched the harddrive for what was growing as i was also loosing

harddrive space during this point. It turned out it was a log file

(eventlog.txt) it keeps adding the same lines over and over again - these

are

[07/04/08,09:37:38] Setup.exe: GetCustomProperties()

Ive got lots more logs, but i cant attach them as the message is too big

then. The only other thing that mmight be of use was the errorlog.txt -

this has the following in

Re: Installation locks up eating memory

What are the specs for the server? (mfg/model of Motherboard, RAID, amount

of RAM, type of disks [EIDE, SCIS, SATA], hard drive size, etc.)

You siad you unplugged the router. Did you then connect one NIC into the

router and the other NIC into a live (powered on) switch/hub that did not

have any other devices connected to it?

Are you using an internal CDROM for the SBS install?

Does the SBS Setup complete if you go to Add/Remove programs and select the

Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003 item?

Can you make a copy of the CD1 and CD3 using a CDRW drive? (i.e., can the

entire contents of the CDs be read in another machine; I'm thinking a CD

problem here).

Re: Installation locks up eating memory

Hi, Thanks for you reply. Its a Dell Poweredge server, 1GB Ram 2x 250gb

SATA Harddrives on a software RAID. I havent got the rest of the details to

hand at the moment. It is an internal CDROM, IDE. THe machine has 2 x NIC.

One is connected to a live HUB and 1 is connected to the live ADSL router.

Neither have any other device connected.

Ive made a copy of CD3 onto a harddrive as i suspected this was the problem

as its on cd 3 the error occurs. I can try and copy CD 1 as well to make

sure. I havent tried using add/remove programs, i was forced to shut the

server down with this problem and as such when i swithc on i tried to re-run

'continue setup' icon but it fails (i cant remmeber the exact message).

Many Thanks

Adrian

Re: Installation locks up eating memory

Hi Adrian,

Reformat both drives so they are back to "Basic" instead of "Dynamic". Now

unplug the secondary disk. Then reinstall SBS on the primary disk starting

with CD1. When the base Windows 2003 server is installed, configure your

partitions (if necessary) and the external NIC settings. Do not make the

disks dynamic yet. Now continue with the SBS component install. When

finished, run CEICW to set up the SBS components and make sure all is well.

Assuming everything completes properly, you can then shut down, re-connect

the secondary drive, boot and make the disks dynamic. Then mirror them.

Re: Installation locks up eating memory

One gig of ram is really about 1/4 of what I like to see in a server.

At least 2 gigs in a SBS but we deliver with 4 gigs now.

Hub is a performance issue. I know you can buy hubs at Walmart but you

really should have a 100mb switch or faster. Heck even a 10 mb switch

would work better than a hub but you are not at the point of slow

network performance yet. Note a hub and lack of ram will cause

performance issues when you go production. Lack of ram will cause the

install to go slower.

Re: Installation locks up eating memory

Sorry - should have said Switch - its a 1000 switch. I intend to increase

the ram in the server shortly as this does indeed give performance issues.

This is a small network - only 3 pc's though.

Re: Installation locks up eating memory

OK to confirm, I have taken this back to a single 250gb (new low level

formatted) disk - i havent done the raid yet as i wait until sbs is fully

installed before doing this. It is when i continue with the SBS component

install that this problem occurs.

Re: Installation locks up eating memory

Do you install any additional software drivers during the base Windows 2003

What is the make/model of server?

If generic server, what make/model of motherboard?
