SYMPTOMS
After you install Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 on a Microsoft BackOffice Small Business Server (SBS) client computer, the browser is configured with SBS-specific settings.
By default, when you install Internet Explorer 5 on a client computer, the automated client Setup process configures the browser with SBS-specific settings. However, if you install Internet Explorer 5 separately, the browser may be improperly or incompletely configured. The following error message may be displayed:
Or the following options may be misconfigured or missing:
- The LAN settings on the Connections menu
- Favorite links
- SBS default home page
CAUSE
This behavior occurs when you install Internet Explorer 5 with the Add/Remove Programs tool in Control Panel.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, do not install Internet Explorer 5 with the Add/Remove Programs tool in Control Panel. Internet Explorer 5 is configured correctly when you install it from the SBS console (click More Tasks, and then click Add Software to a Computer).
