Hi Everyone,

I have recently had to put a SBS 2003 Server in on a Customers site, however I couldn't add any of there Workstations to the Network!
Before I started I had a look at there existing network and the previous Tech company had statically assigned all of the IP's etc so that they could use a Router (didn't have DHCP).

After I installed the Server and set the Workstations to use DNS/DHCP I tried adding the workstations but got a error everytime (The Server Could Not Perform the Requested Operation). If I looked in DHCP the Workstations IP's weren't registering but I could browse to the Server in Network Neighbourhood and the Workstations were being assigned valid IP's.
After a fair bit of time I decided to bring the Server back to the office for more testing, when I booted it and added a Workstation it went straight on!!!

I can only presume that the customer has something else setup that won't allow me to join the domain, does anyone have any ideas or had something similiar happen o them??

P.S: Spent about 9 hours on the guys to M$ support and they couldn't solve it! But they were only looking at the Server and not the Workstations.

Regards D@ve
