The quickest way to fix this is manually remove all the pc's from the domain and go through the checklist wizards one by one. This will set up your AD perms, the Exchange organization, certs etc.
SBS is definitely not Server 2003. The SBS team mangled the hell out of it to get it to work properly. I cannot stress this enough.. I'm surprised I'm the only one to reply about the wizards yet...Normally you would get a flood..:) Once you've run the wizards on the server, from each pc run http://servername/connectcomputer and follow the wiz...

It seems like if they are an admin the first time I launch and configure their Outlook under their UserID , then removing the admin breaks it. If they are not an admin the first time I open Outlook with their ID on the box, it doesn't matter if they're an admin or not. Weird.

I think this happens if they are an admin when Outlook is installed and configured for them, because on other systems where I know it was all configured when they were NOT an admin it worked OK. Has anyone seen this before? Google-Fu sends me to many links with people having the same issue, but I find no satisfactory resolution...
