Okay, so here's the thing. Recently, I installed Windows SBS 2003 on one of our company computers just sitting around. Took me a bit to get it working as it has SATA drives and not IDE. Anyway, it is also the DC and is hosting our internal company website with IIS6 that Microsoft so graciously provides for you with SBS. Before anyone comments on the setup it is our only computer to use for this, plus it's just a test server.
My problem is the company website. I spent days trying to get it to work on the clients. Finally did after pointing the clients toward the server IP under DNS manually. I also installed a CA on the server and dished out some certificates to the clients. Don't know if that helped too, but I did it anyway. The real problem is that occasionally the website will stop functioning and I can't access it from the server, which in turn means I can't access it from the clients either. Our domain is our_company.local. My question is why does it do this? I have also tried setting a loopback on our Sonicwall to see if that would help and it makes no difference. It is just frustrating trying to use a website that works when it wants to. Just let me know if anymore info is needed. Any ideas would be welcomed. Thanks.
