companyweb and aol
I'm having intermitent issues with companyweb working on computers running AOL. I know AOL changes the IE default serach and a whole bunch of other things. Uninstalling AOL is not an option, since the users are so attached to their beloved browser.
This is happening at 2 different location (2 different SBS 2003 servers). I have one AOL running computer at one location and another AOL running computer at the other location.
Client 1:
Is running Windows XP Pro SP2. The computer has been added to the SBS domain properly via http://ip/ConnectComputer. Everything works flawlessly except for companyweb which works intermittently. In other words, it sometimes works.
Client 2:
Is running Windows 2000 Pro SP4. I added the computer via the http://ip/ConnectComputer. Everything worked flawlessly. Outlook is configured to work with Exchange, all the IE Favorites include the management links, My Documents has been redirected, etc. Companyweb however REFUSES to work.
Both locations have a separate DHCP server outside SBS 2003 but they BOTH have the SBS 2003 server listed as first DNS, then follow the ISPs. All the other computer, at both locations, work flawlessly including Companyweb.
Any clues? Let me know what other info you may need.
Thanks.

They would rather have an Aol.com email address rather than a more professional theircompany.com? Interesting.

Now, as far as using the SBS’s DHCP server it can easily be done with one client, the other a little trickier since they have an Asterisk PBX for their phone system. I could probably assign a static IP and test. I still have a strong feeling AOL interferes quite a bit. We’ll see what happens.
Thanks.
