When installing SBS 2011 Essentials (either on bare metal or in a Hyper-V environment), you may very early on in the process encounter a situation where the installation\u00a0seems to hang. The screen\u00a0displays \u201cPlease wait while the installation continues\u201d.<\/p>\n

If this is happening to you,\u00a0check to see if your network card has been assigned a valid\u00a0IP address.\u00a0You can do this by pressing Shift-F10 to display a command prompt window, and then type\u00a0ipconfig<\/em>\u00a0and press enter. If the network card has an IP address starting with 169.x.x.x then you do not have a valid IP address.<\/p>\n

Remember that\u00a0SBS 2011 Essentials, by default, expects to be connected to a router that is issuing DHCP addresses. This is unlike SBS 2003\/2008\/2011 products where the SBS server handled the DHCP role.<\/p>\n

To fix this situation, either (1) ensure that the SBS 2011 Essentials server is connected to a router, and that the router has the DHCP role enabled, or (2) assign a static IP address to the NIC card on the SBS 2011 server.<\/p>\n

To do option 2, from the same comand prompt window you just opened up, enter the following command:<\/p>\n

netsh interface ip set address \u201cinterface name<\/em>\u201d static\u00a0ipaddr<\/em>subnetmask<\/em>\u00a0gateway<\/em>\u00a0metric<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Note:<\/strong>\u00a0The\u00a0interface name<\/em>\u00a0is obtained from the output of ipconfig (see above example).<\/p>\n

For example, if you wish to assign\u00a0a static IP address of 192.168.1.2, a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, and a default gateway of 192.168.1.1, then enter the command as follows:<\/p>\n

netsh interface ip set address \u201cLocal Area Connection\u201d static 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1<\/strong><\/p>\n
