SBS >> Add Licence Wizard - Chris Puckett Hi there

A couple of weeks ago I posted regarding an issue with the Add Licence
Wizard. Basically any of the functions of the Wizard brought up the
"Unspecified Error" Message when you click on the button. I received a
comprehensive set of advice from Chris Puckett (Thank You) from Small
Business Server Support with relation to checking the winsbsprogramdir
environment variable and that the relevant folder exist at "C:\Program
Files\Windows for Small Business Server" folder.

Sorry it took me a while but I can only access the machine after office
hours (6pm) and before the backup runs (8pm) and when I tie this into my
schedule things get a little complicated.

The licence folder does exist within the Windows for Small Business folder
and I have now corrected the environment variable to point at the correct
location which in this case is C:\Windows for Small Business. This didn't
help!

I then tried a re-install followed by a system restart but still get the
same error message.

By comparing the user rights to the folder with my own SBS Server I noticed
that are different so I have set them to be the same (added access to Domain
Admins and a couple of others)but that also doesn't appeared to have helped.

Any further advice would be appreciated or a nudge in the direction of how
this thing is supposed to work.

SBS >> Add Licence Wizard - Chris Puckett Hi Martyn,

Thanks for posting here!

I understand the problem to be as follows:

When you click any of the wizards in the Licensing snap-in, you get an
"Unspecified error".

If I'm out of base, please feel free to let me know.

In some cases, the C:\Windows for Small Business Server or C:\Program
Files\Windows for Small Business Server folder does not exist. Please check
whether this is the point. If so, please copy the C:\Program Files\Windows
for Small Business Server folder from another known good SBS computer,
register the actwizdll.dll file, and test this issue again.

To register the actwizdll.dll file:

1. Click Start and click Run.
2. Type the following command and click OK.

Regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Windows for Small Business
Server\Licensing\actwizdll.dll"

3. Click OK when succeeded.

If the problem persists, please check error info described in
SBSMSI-Licensing.log, errorlog.txt and eventlog.txt under C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Integration\Windows Small Business Server 2003\Logs.

If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know. And I look
forward to your update.
