Hi,
I've added a Windows 7 computer to the network, but the Network Sharing indicates the machine is unauthenticated. My thinking goes like this:
If unauthenticated, there must be a bad certificate from the domain somewhere on the machine. I checked the console root certificates on the (Local Computer) and there was not a certificate listed in the Personal folder. When I try the http://connect under the SBS Administrator account (logged on as the SBS Administrator) I receive the weird error above telling me to logon as the SBS Administrator. While I can add the [Go-Daddy] certificate to the Personal folder, it does not appear to fix the problem with the wizard. For this reason, I suspect a hardware issue may be afoot, but it feels more like a permission problem than hardware, and I'm wondering if there are additional steps I can take to try to remedy the situation. I also can fiddle a bit and get a second error that says: The remote endpoint is not currently in service at this location. 0x803d000e (way over my head)
Trying to install using the right click of the computer properties and adding the machine to the network via sysadmin account (after removing the machine from the network) yields:
You computer could not be joined to the domain because the following error has occurred: The specified server cannot perform the requested operation.
(Answering with links is okay but please make them Microsoft links... security here is tight and while I can get to Microsoft links, other links my be blocked by proxy)
thanks....
