While in server management console, I've got a couple of problems. First the
font size for the side bar on the left has turned very small and is almost
unreadable. All pages have the small font on the left menu. Also, I cannot
use the "add user" or "add client computer" options. When I select these
links I simply go back to either the list of users or computers.

The SBS 2003 R2 server is up to date with latest service packs and updates.
I don't remember installing anything which might cause the problem.

Monitoring and Reporting is working fine.

An update...
I rebooted and "add client computer" and "add user" wizards are working
again. The font size is still so small it is almost unreadable. The font
I'm talking about is the links on the right side of each page. The main
page, such as the list of users or computers, is OK. Any ideas?

Hello Steve,

Thank you for your post. My name is Robbin Meng, and it is my pleasure to
work with you on this issue!

Please allow me to confirm that my understandings are correct. As I
understand it, the issue is:

The SBS 2003 R2 server is up to date with latest service packs and updates.
However, in server management console, the font size is so small and is
almost unreadable.

If I have misunderstood your concerns please feel free to let me know.

First, I would like to know does this issue always occur when you open
Server Management console?

Based on my research and experience, it is really a very odd issue but
still would like to provide some suggestions for your reference:

1. On the Server Management console, please find the View button on the
Menu bar, then try to use different view type to see if there is any
difference.

2. Click on the right panel where the font is small, press down and hold
the Ctrl key , at the same time roll the wheel of your mouse so that it
will zoom the size of the font and icons on the right panel.

Does it work for you? Hope this helps. :-)

Thank you for your time and cooperation!


Best regards,
Robbin Meng(MSFT)

Thanks for jumping in Robbin,

First off, the problem font size occurs on the LEFT part of the window(or
middle column). My mistake. This is the area where the various option links
are located such as "Add User", or "Set up Client Computer" It occurs on all
pages of the Server Management console. The data to the right is OK. This
would be the listing of users or computers, etc.

The problem occurs all the time.

The view option successfully changes the format of the data shown on the
right but does not affect the problem Links area.

The Ctrl-mouse wheel does not affect the font size while in a rdp session.
I will need to go down to the site and see if it has any impact at the
console.

Thanks again for your help. I'll get back to you after I go down to client
and sit at the console. Should be this morning sometime. It's not far away.

Steve

Robbin,
I have a bit more info. Ctrl + wheel doesn't affect the problem. Problem
appears to be only related to the Administrator profile. I logged on as
different user and the problem went away.

Here is a screenshot:

Thanks for your help.

Went into IE text size option. Although it was set at normal size, I cycled
the size from large, then back to normal and things are fixed.
