Restoring SBS after cryptoware infection
-
Getting to the point where I'll have to run a full restore on an SBS server (infected with fantom. From Russia with love). Granular restore in BackupExec just freezes. I just know something is going to break since it's SBS. Usually it is Exchange, sometimes it is workstation trusts with AD. They have other servers setup to get away from SBS, but they're in their last ~2 months of reliance on it.

Wasnt there an SBS version where the only way to join a doimain was using IE on a client?

Unfortunately I do not have many SBS issues, only have had a customer with an URE on SBS but was backup and running after a Baremetal restore

I think I remember there being an option, but not necessarily required. Maybe there was a requirement at some point though.

Not required, but if all defaults were followed, SBS 2008 did that.
You just pointed the browser to the IP of the SBS server and joined things there.

With SBS, you can do things the "normal" way, but if you use their tools like the dashboard, it does some extra stuff in the background. For example, if you run the web based join program, it sets your DNS statically so that the server is the first DNS server. This is useful if your router is doing DHCP and you can't turn it off. It helps someone that is not a full time admin take care of the basics.
