When completing SBS setup on the final server during a Swing It! migration this error halts setup.

Solutions are: Bypass trust check

1. Start SBS setup process
2. Cancel
3. Locate Sitxxx.tmp temp (%temp%) Directory
4. Open Setup.sdb in text editor
5. Comment out the trust check line
6. Save and continue the setup process from the Sitxxx.tmp directory

Or change GUID on the replica DCs

1. Regedit - HKLM - Security - Permissions - Add Administrators - Full Control
2. Cmd - cd c:\windows\program files
3. nltest/domain_trusts/all_trusts/v
4. Record domain GUID string
5. Regedit - HKLM\SECURITY\Policy\PolDnDmG - change GUID to earlier recorded value - restart
6. Undo permission changes

Well after a bit luck I have found a solution that was quite simple. I tried this once before but did not save (overwrite) the new selection - it worked perfectly this time:

Use NTbackup to remove Recovery Storage Group reference from the backup selection script.


a. Start -> Run -> NTBackup -> Advanced Mode -> Backup tab -> Job -> Load Selections.

b. Select Small Business Backup Script.bks

c. Click OK on the error message:
"Some invalid selections found in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Windows Small
Business Server\Backup\Small Business Backup Script.bks".

d. Job -> Save Selections (overwrite --> Small Business Backup Script.bks)

Who knows, have to try it on offending client's box soon.

Symptoms

Type: Error
Source: Windows SharePoint Services 2.0
Category: None
Event ID: 1000
Description:
#50070: Unable to connect to the database STS_Config on <server_name>\SharePoint. Check the database connection information and make sure that the database server is running.

Cause

This issue may occur when the SharePoint Timer Service tries to contact the configuration database when the computer starts or shuts down. By default, the configuration database in Windows SharePoint Services is named STS_config.

Resolution

The error message that is mentioned in the "Symptoms" section does not affect the functionality of Windows SharePoint Services or of Windows Small Business Server 2003. If you can connect to the Windows SharePoint Services Web site successfully, you can safely ignore this error message.

Workaround

To work around this issue, add the DependOnService registry entry to the following registry subkey on the server, and then set the DependOnService registry entry to MSSQL$SHAREPOINT:
