Hi people
I have a new install of SBS 2011 Essentials on a new Dell Server. The SBS 2011 Essentials install seems to have gone well. I have undertaken all the tasks on the "Getting Started" page on the Dashboard. All successful.
Unfortunately, I cannot get the Connector Wizard to run / install on the client PC's. There are two PC's running XP Pro SP3 (32bit) and six laptops running Windows 7 Professional (64bit).
All the PC's & Laptops can connect to the server via the suggested "https://<servername>/connect and I get to the "Download Software for Windows" page. But the ComputerConnector.exe application falls over and I get the following window:
I have tried providing both the server name or the IP address of the server but (as you can see above) no luck.
This happens on all the PC's and Laptops.
I have located the ComputerConnector Logs and they all have the same error (regardless of whether its on the PC with XP Pro or the Laptops with Windows 7 Prof). From what I can gather, the Setup.cab file won't download due to http error 401.
Below is an extract from the ComputerConnector Log:

Steps I have taken so far (unsuccessful).
1.Checked that all PC's meet the required prerequisites
2. Disabled antivirus + firewall
3. On the XP Pro PC's tried the Microsoft Fixit tool found here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2705096
4. Installed and then updated .Net 4
5. Disabled IPV6
6. Manually specified the SBS server as the primary DNS for the client
7. Checked that time and date on server and clients are the same
8. I have scoured lots of forums and tried other bits and pieces but can't work this one out.
Getting somewhat desperate - Any help would be greatly appreciated.
