Hi Brandon,
It is set to automatic (see
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829623 for a
list of default services that are installed in Windows Small Business Server
2003) by default. I just checked our SBS box and it is running. Also,
Windows Server 2003 SP2 is supposed to correct for a memory leak in
cryptographic services (
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914962/en-us) so
install that before spending too much time on troubleshooting (should be
running SP2 anyways). ;-)
Hope that helps,
Steve
