I've been having a similar problem, slightly different configuration.

- Files are stored on a Win2K8 SBS Server, accessed via a mapped
drive.
- Workstation is a Dell Percision Workstation 490 running Win 7 Pro.
- I verified that both server & workstation have the latest...

The editing of the hosts file (I added the IP address of the .local domain)
improved the performance of the administrator account but not that of the
users account.

This morning I asked the customer to get another user to log on to the
affected Win 7 / Office 2007 workstation. This user saw no delay in opening
documents, so this confirms we seem to have a userid / user profile problem,
not an Office 2007 problem.

Any hints on best practice for deleting and recreating a SBS 2003 userid
without losing emails, files etc.?

Hi David,

Sorry for the late in responding you.

Based on your issue symptoms, the error message is "The database WSS_Content on ComputerName\Microsoft##SSEE is not accessible to missing Windows Internal
Database signatures". The possible cause is the SPWebService service has not been fully provisioned. This problem occurs when the initial provisioning of the Web service
instance has not completed successfully. This behavior causes the upgrade process to skip the Web service instance.

So you can see the corresponding solution as we indicated that listed in both KB 944267 and KB 944154 as below:

[Resolution:]
To resolve this problem, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
2. Locate the "Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\12\BIN" folder.
3. At the command prompt, type the following commands, and then press ENTER after each command:
stsadm -o provisionservice -action stop -servicetype spwebservice -servicename ""
stsadm -o provisionservice -action start -servicetype spwebservice -servicename ""
4. After the SPWebService service is started, type the following command at the command prompt, and then press ENTER:
psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -force
Note, the last command force the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 upgrade by using the Psconfig.exe tool at a command prompt.

We have a new Windows SBS 2008 and an existing Windows Server 2003.

Can we use the existing Server 2003 as a Member Server running Terminal
Services on the Same network as the new Windows SBS 2008.

Regards,

Guido

Well, Steve, I did this long before I was an MVP (in fact, long before MS
even HAD MVPs) and I'll do it long after I stop being an MVP. I'll do it
with a tool and a venue that minimizes my time while maximizing the number
of people I can help. That is currently NNTP, though it used to be
CompuServe. It will likely never be Web Forums without a standalone tool.

Hello David,

Thanks for your post.

Here is the quotation from "Windows Small Business Server 2008 Technical FAQ":

Q: Do you have a hardware compatibility list for Windows Small Business Server 2008?
Answer: Windows Small Business Server 2008 uses the same hardware compatibility list as Windows Server 2008. You can find a list of compatible hardware at Windows Server
Catalog(http://www.windowsservercatalog.com/).

Hope it helps.

Russ - I think you might be trying to tell me that my questions are VERY
SCARY?

(Thanks: I got that bit :))

You won't see me on this forum again, because clearly, after I read ALL the
books and do ALL the training on SBS2008 (in order to effectively evaluate
EVERY possible interpretation of "best practice"), I will (like you and your
learned colleagues) know everything there is to know and won't ever have to
ASK FOR AN OPINION.

I'm sorry to have wasted your time, however before I go, I must correct you
on a number of assumptions you made:

That I intend to learn SBS 2008 on a client's system (Incorrect)
That I have never installed SBS 2008 on my own equipment (Incorrect)
That I have never picked up a book on SBS 2008 (Incorrect)
That I don't use SBS wizards (Incorrect)
That my attitude would be one of "I know more #@$#$ than you do" (Incorrect)
That the external information available "And this information is easily
obtainable from many sources" will actually be A: Correct & B: Beneficial
(Incorrect)

Goodbye and good luck,

Well this is Weird
I posted this a "NEW" post but it hooked to this thread.
(Because of the subject)

That is why you see it multiple

I just want to make sure that when this goes people know where go
:)

SBS 2003 R2 SP2

WinXP clients
Vista clients

Several of my client system have had more than one domain logon (Documents &
Settings / Users). I would like to delete these accounts and data but they
are protected from a normal delete.

Is there a process to delete and purge old accounts from a client?

The reason is, with these"dead" accounts they are still picked up by media
share and makes the select list unusally long.
