    Windows SBS 2003 - KB948110 fails to install

    I finally worked out how to get that blasted KB948110 patch for SQL that keeps popping up on SBS 2003 servers via Windows Update.

    It would fail to install, and repeatedly asks to install. After doing a bit of research, this forum:

    gave me the clue to solve it. First I removed ADMT (Active Directory Migration Tool) that we had on that server for a previous domain migration, and the comment re - changing MSSQL$SBSMONIOTORING service from Disabled to Manual, made me enable and run the service.

    Then I ran the security patch, and finally installed. Now no more annoying Windows Update nagging!

    Outlook Web Access - Change password

    I wanted to allow Outlook Web Access users, on a SBS 2003 server, the ability to change their passwords. You need to create a Virtual Directory in IIS on the SBS server, then install a small OWA admin app to enable this.

    Petri's website had a guide to this which worked great: http://www.petri.co.il/enable_password_changing_through_owa_in_exchange_2003.htm

    The OWA admin tool has lots of other options you can tweak for your OWA users, which would normally mean you have to do a reg tweak.
