I have completed an install of SBS 2008 on a server. I originally had issues with the Exchange 2007 installing but have since got around that and created a clean install of SBS 2008. I have the following issues now since install.<br />
<br />
The DNS forwarders cannot be removed.<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Tried going into the DNS Properties but I cannot even find the Forwarders section!<br />
<br />
The Certificate Authority component cannot be configured.<br />
The DNS dynamic update service is not installed.<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Tried the Fix my Network but the software crashes trying to run.<br />
<br />
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

SBS 2008 Installation issues: DNS issues

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

The Microsoft Legacy Operating System topic includes legacy versions of Microsoft operating systems prior to Windows 2000: All versions of MS-DOS and other versions developed for specific manufacturers and Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions, and Windows Mobile.
