I’m in the process of adding a Windows Storage Server 2003 NAS box to an SBS2003 network.
I have set the NAS box to obtain an IP address automatically and set the DNS address to the internal IP of the SBS box. I’m signed in as administrator.
On the SBS box I’ve run the ‘add server computer’ wizard and put the name of the NAS box in the appropriate place. The wizard completes OK and I get the mesage to complete the connection from the client. So then on the NAS box I invoke http:\\servername\ConnectComputer and input the appropriate SBS username and password.
Now for the problem:
When the wizard gets to the ‘select computer name’ section the box is empty – no name to select – zilch, and hence the wizard cannot proceed. There’s no error message, just the blank name box and a greyed out ‘NEXT’ button.
I double checked the computer name on the NAS box, it’s OK. On the SBS box I tried running the wizard again and got the error message ‘This name already exists in Active Directory’
I’m now stumped. There are no applicable errors in the logs, all the names check out, etc.
Can anyone suggest a way forward? Anything else I can check?
Thanks in advance.
