Joining Win 7 to SBS 2003 - 2 issues

I've joined a windows 7 professional 64 bit client to an SBS 2003
Premium server...it joined fine, as far as can be seen, except for 2
issues:

- The User Account Control window pops up on each login showing, "Do
you want to allow the following program to make changes to this
computer" and the program is, "Windows Small Business Server 2003 with
Service Pack 1" I've tried clicking "YES" several times and each
reboot brings up the same question.

- Offline files doesn't seem to be setup. I've had this issue before
when joining computers to the server that have windows 7, but don't
know why and i've tinkered until i get offline files working - but i
want to know exactly what i am doing wrong in joining them and what to
do to have offline work without blindly doing things.

All help, as always, is greatly appreciated...

Hi Jared
Probably the Setup in the login script trying to run
and asking you to run it.

in this late in the game I'd put a REM in front of the set up
and call it good
(For the SBS login script)

remind me again where the setup script is - i haven't had to deal with
it in years...

Also, will this fix the offline files issue?

REM worked...thanks russ

as far as the other, i didn't install the one for the client - the
server i did that years ago when vista first came out, but quit doing
it for clients when i read somewhere that the update was contained in
the latest SP's...but, i guess not...

So, if i didn't do it - and it needed to be done before joining the
network - do i disjoin, install update and rejoin?

With SBS2003 disjoin and rejoin you will have profiles lost unless you save
them?
If that is not an issue (losing Profiles ) then yes try that
You can also Manually Redirect the My Document folder back to the SBS server
if you need to
(I've had to do that on Win 7 PC's sometimes.... sometimes)
