sbs 2003 will not install pat step 30 of 42
Posted on 2006-07-14
I am trying to install SBS 2003 and first bit windows worked OK. So windows is on etc.
I then broke out of wizard to follow article. As I am going from Windows 2000 AD to SBS 2003 and turning off 2000 DC.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/884453/en-us
that worked fine also. Now when I run the SBS install wizard it never gets past step 30 of 42
Any ideas.
Regards
Richard

Going from a Windows 2000 AD to SBS 2003 does not entail following that KB article. You should note that the article specifically states, "This article does not intend to provide a migration solution" It is intended ONLY as a workaround in the event that there are extenuating circumstances which may prevent you from properly upgrading or migrating your Windows 2000 domain.

I might also note that the stalling on step 30 is expected if you haven't adprep'd your existing DC per step ONE of that KB.
