Solve : Windows SBS 2003 Problems?

Answer» <html><body><p>Okay, so here's the thing. Recently, I installed Windows SBS 2003 on one of our company computers just sitting around. Took me a bit to get it working as it has SATA drives and not <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/ide-496683" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about IDE">IDE</a>. Anyway, it is also the DC and is hosting our internal company website with IIS6 that Microsoft so graciously provides for you with SBS. Before anyone comments on the setup it is our only computer to use for this, plus it's just a test server.<br/><br/>My problem is the company website. I spent <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/days-239271" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DAYS">DAYS</a> trying to get it to work on the clients. Finally did after pointing the clients toward the server IP under DNS manually. I also installed a CA on the server and dished out some certificates to the clients. Don't know if that helped too, but I did it anyway. The real problem is that occasionally the website will stop functioning and I can't access it from the server, which in <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/turn-767121" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TURN">TURN</a> means I can't access it from the clients either. Our domain is <strong><em>our_company.local</em></strong>. My question is why does it do this? I have also tried setting a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/loopback-1079241" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LOOPBACK">LOOPBACK</a> on our Sonicwall to see if that would help and it makes no difference. It is just frustrating trying to use a website that <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/works-17618" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WORKS">WORKS</a> when it wants to. Just let me know if anymore info is needed. Any ideas would be welcomed. Thanks.I would add the web site in your DNS server...<br/><br/>Sounds like your clients are getting lost when they look for the site. A DNS entry would resolve the name and give them a IP for the site.<br/><br/>What ended up working was I added a host header under the IIS settings then another CNAME under DNS. I can now access the website from all clients. Why the default name has problems connecting I don't know and I don't care. This works so I am happy.Good! Glad things worked out for you.<br/><br/>And welcome to the site!<br/></p></body></html>
