SBS 2003 Server Manager "Loading"

[Michael Pomerleau]

The Monitoring & Reporting and Backup screens in Server
Manager clock with a "Loading" message and dono't display,
but the individual menus work. Any ideas how to fix this?

Want to be able to see the backup status.

1. Make sure that the administrator account is mail enabled

2. Add Local Service and Network Service account Read & Execute, List
Folder Contents, and Read permissions to
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322.
Add Local Service and Network Service account Full Control permission to
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\Temporary ASP.NET Files.

This will allow Backup and Monitoring folders under "Temporary ASP.NET
Files" folder to have full control for Local Service and Network Service.

3. If you are receiving the following event in the application log do what
is outlined below:

ID: 1
Source: ServerStatusReports
Description:
Server Status Report:
URL: http://localhost/monitoring/perf.aspx?reportMode=0
Error Message: SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
Stack Trace:
at usage.globalFn.connectDataSource(Boolean pingFast)
at usage.frmPerf.renderReportWorker()
at usage.frmPerf.renderReport()

Added Network Service to the sysadmin fixed server role on the Monitoring
instance
of WMSDE on the machine as follows:

1. At a command prompt, type: OSQL -S <servername> -E

2. At the 1> command prompt, type: sp_addsrvrolemember 'Network Service',
'sysadmin'

3. At the 2> command prompt, type: GO

Added Network Service to the "Impersonate a client after authentication"
policy as
follows:

1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools and then
click
Default Domain Controller Policy.

2. Expand Local Policies and double-click User Rights Assignment.

3. Double-click the "Impersonate a client after authentication" policy.

4. Select the checkbox "Define these policy settings" if it is not already
selected.

5. Click Add User or Group and add Network Service.

6. After adding Network Service, close the Default Domain Controller
Security
Settings console.

7. Click Start and select Run.

8. Type "gpupdate" and press Enter.
