• Microsoft BackOffice Small Business Server versions 4.0, 4.0a, 4.5

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to open the SBS console on a computer running Small Business Server (SBS) 4.5 or SBS 4.0 with Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack installed, you may receive one of the following error messages:

Internet Explorer cannot open the site http://localhost/admin/4.5.
A connection with the server could not be established.

The page cannot be displayed.

The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings.

1. Click Start, point to Programs, click Microsoft Proxy Server, and then double-click Microsoft Management Console.



2. Expand Internet Information Server.



3. Expand your server name.



4. Click Default Web Site, and then right-click Default Web Site to view its properties.
