SBS 2003 to SBS 2008 Migration - Connect to Internet Wizard Failing

**vshori** · 12-02-2009

I dont know why I am getting "Internet Connection is Incomplete" and "Windows SBS did not properly configure your e-mail. To correct this, re-run this wizard." I checked out that some error with refrence to the DNS server, but it is running and responding to nslookup from the command line. Can anyone please tell me how to solve this issue? Check the below CTIW log:

You can try to configure the server to send and receive Exchange Server e-mail over the Internet. During installation, Windows SBS 2008 automatically configures Exchange Server 2007 to route e-mail messages to and from users on the network. By using a smart host, you can improve the reliability of your e-mail delivery and your server performance.

I'm having this same issue, only the Receive Connector shows the expected "Default <servername>" connector with all of the expected settings on the Authentication and Permission Groups tabs.

Any indication as to what might be the issue? Logs below:
