  Since this is typically your only domain controller this can be very disconcerting. The SBS server will not allow domain admin logon At boot up black screen you see a warning similar to: Safe Mode: booting in directory services restore mode Multiple restarts do not make the server boot normally At the logon screen change user to: Administrator Enter in your directory services restore password. Note: If you have a local domain administrator with a logon of “administrator” it may not be the same password. With the correct directory services restore password entered you should be able to logon to safe mode go to Start> Run and type in MSConfig Select the boot tab and change the startup from “safe mode” to “normal” save and exit. Perform a system restart The boot and logon process may take longer than normal but be patient your logon troubles may be behind you. After a successful normal logon process I would recommend checking all services and make sure all it good...

  I always recommend using a static IP for network printers. Once you have that configured use the printers web interface by going to that IP address using internet explorer. Select the” Networking” Tab > “IPsec/Firewall” as shown below: First we will add a rule to allow unencrypted traffic from all connections we will later define IPsec rules specific to the print server. You can set encrypted for all but keep in mind if it fails you will have a harder time remotely repairing it. Select “Add Rules” > “All IP Addresses” as shown below: Select “All Services” >”Next” as shown below: Select “Allow traffic…” >”Next” as shown below: Select “Finish” >”Next” as shown below: Select “OK” as shown below: It should take you back to the ” Networking” Tab > “IPsec/Firewall” as shown below: Note: “Enable IPsec/Firewall” is unchecked Now we will add an Encrypted Rule: Select “Add Rules” > “New” as shown below: Name the Rule, Specify the local and remote IP Addresses ...
