Mike

I joined a vista laptop to a SBS 2008 domain & after logging on, I
just get the spinning wheel next to the cursor & everything is pretty
much locked up.
Where can I start to fix this!
 
Mike,
This probably should be asked in the SBS2008 group
Instructions to access this group can be found here http://www.sbs2008.com

However did you use the http://connect
to connect the PC to the domain?

However this issue does sound like a Corrupt profile
Login to the Local Account PC and retry the http://connect

(And post what happens in the SBS2008 newsgroup)
Thanks
Russ

Probably, as this is a continuance of a question you helped me with
over there,
Vista Business, SBS 2008 & mapped drives...
No, I didn't use http://connect - this is my first experience with
2008 SBS & I've always been a 'learn as I go' type of guy.
Fortunately, this is a small network & isn't anything 'mission-
critical'.
Other extenuating circumstances, this was once a member of a Win2k
domain that had only one DC that crashed & burned last year.
This has been a learning experience, so say the least!
After joining domain, copying files needed from old profile, etc., I
left it last night about mid-night, with the spinning circle (is there
a name for that like 'spinning beachball of death?), and it was
exactly like that at 8 this morning when I came in. I rebooted &
logged in as Admin, logged back out & things seemed to have settled
down.
Do you know any good training courses, (keep in mind I'm not looking
for certification, just knowledge), that's not 1000's of pages that
you could recommend?

Well to be honest the Best thing you can do
is USE THE WIZARDS
if there is a wizard Don't do it manually
Doing it your own way is the easiest way to Break SBS2008
(easier to break SBS2008 than SBS2003 BTW)

I' re connect PC's using the wizards
http://connect
It does about 57 different settings
and could fix everything you need.
also make sure that all VISTA machines are "UP TO DATE" with all SP and
Patches

I've done one SBS installation, but they weren't using exchange.
This will be my first migration.
I like the fact that with the swing migration kit, you can test it
before pulling the plug & go back if need be, or so they tell me.
I've heard with the MS method, there's no turing back.
