The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Small Business Server 2008 Connect Computer Progam Problem

Asked by TrialWorks in SBS Small Business Server

Tags: sbs2008, small business server 2008, connect computer

I am deploying an SBS 2008 server and the Connect Computer Program is being a pain.  I want to preface this thinking it MAY be a DNS issue (keep reading) but not really sure what it could be (I've seen and resolved dozens of issues in SBS03 with the same component, first one that has left me without a clue.

So, for starters, here are the errors:
"Http://Connect
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
"
IF I run the connect computer executables from a USB drive I get the following error:
"Connect Computer Program - Error
An error occured while downloading the Connect Computer application. Please run this application again."

From the server, the http://connect works fine, but from the workstations it does not work at all.

Server has IP4 and IP6 configured.  Server IP is 192.168.1.6, DNS is the same.

Workstation are DHCP assigned by server,  IP are 192.168.1.1xx, and DNS is 192.168.1.6.

They can PING server by name.  

Interestingly, I can "PING CONNECT" on the server and get a response, but not from the workstations -- which makes me think I do have some sort of a DNS issue... but overall, everything else looks right.    Overall, the DNS setup is similar to how I've done all the 03's, DNS is not showing any issues on the server, and IIS shows all the compnents. As I mentioned, they are accessible form the server itself.

So, if it is DNS, I am at a loss as to why... if its not DNS, then I was thinking security on IIS. I am able to get to https://server/remote , and also to OMA.

Thanks
