After digging into Active Directory using ADSIEdit, (which came up empty) I removed all delegates from UserB, added a new delegate that has never been a delegate in UserB’s mailbox, then put the original delgates back for UserB. Basically this resets the delegates and the meeting requests won’t NDR any longer.

You may receive the following error message when attempting to add a Vista PC to a Small Business Server domain using the SBS wizard (http://servername/connectcomputer):

“The Small Business Server Networking Wizard was not installed. You may not be a member of the local Administrators security group on this computer or your Local Intranet security settings may be set to High. Click Connect to the network now to try again and click Yes when prompted. If the wizard fails to install, contact the person responsible for your network.”

To resolve this issue, you probably need to update your SBS server to support that Vista PC.  The update is commonly referred to as “Ripcurl”.

The following procedure can be used on a Snap Server (tested with 2200) to reset the settings to factory defaults:

1. Power off the Snap Server (wait for all lights to turn off).
2. Hold down the reset button while powering the Snap Server on.  Wait for the System and Disk lights to flash in unison.
3. Release the reset button.
4. Press the reset button again according to the action you wish to perform:
   • Once to reset the IP address.
   • Twice to reset the Admin password (default is blank).
   • Three times to clear the network settings
   • Four times to clear all settings
   • Five times to initiate FLUP mode (for updates)
   • Six times to boot without mounting hard drives.
5. Watch the disk light to confirm that it blinks the correct number of times to correspond with your selection.  If it doesnt, repeat step 4.
6. Press and hold the reset button until the Snap Server resets.
