    - SBS CALs and Server 2003 Anyone know if SBS2000 CALs will be recognized by Server 2003 - or how Microsoft plans to "upgrade" the CALS for SBS so that we can run Server 2003 Active Directory with SBS? Tag: SBS 2003 Tag: 120016

    - OT: Breaking Passwords This is from Woody's Windows Watch newsletter: Fast Cracking Windows XP Passwords No doubt you've read about the researchers who found a way to crack Windows passwords at a breathtaking rate. CNET's Robert Lemos ran the original story last week. I've seen the results mangled by the press in several places, so permit me to recap. Philippe Oechslin at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne refined a very fast method for cracking certain kinds of alphanumeric passwords. His method works by using two CD's worth of data to help speed up the cracking calculations: by using what amount to pre-digested calculations, his new method runs rings around earlier crackers. Windows passwords are particularly vulnerable to this pre-digesting trick because Windows always encodes passwords the same way, on any PC. That isn't news to anyone who understands the details of Windows'password encryption technique, but it permitted Dr. Oechslin to come up with a whole bunch of pre-digested (portions of) passwords that will work on any PC. Worth noting: Linux "salts" each password, so the encoding comes up different on different machines. That makes it impossible to come up with this kind of pre-digested list. Luca Wullschleger and Claude Hochreutiner, also at EPFL, wrote a program and a Web interface http://lasecpc13.epfl.ch/ntcrack/ to show just how well Dr. Oechslin's method works. As we went to press, the demo program cracked about half of the passwords that people fed into it. On average, it took 7.7 seconds to crack each one. (My 12-character test password was cracked in less than three seconds.) The demo was so popular that Luca and Claude pulled it from the Web site - 1,000,000 hits in a week. At this moment, Dr. Oechslin's program only works with alphanumeric passwords - if you use punctuation marks (as I strongly recommend in my books), your chances of being cracked quickly go down significantly. For now. But it's only a matter of time before someone comes up with a big collection of pre-digested passwords that include punctuation marks - assuming it hasn't been done already. This isn't a gaping security hole in Windows. In order to reconstitute the original password, you have to be able to get at the encrypted version of the password, and that (generally) isn't easy - anyone who can get at the encrypted version of the password can get at your data anyway, and they can decrypt the data at leisure. But it should serve as a wake-up call. Windows passwords aren't ultra-secure. They can be broken - with ease, in some cases. You can make a potential breaker's job considerably more difficult by putting punctuation marks in your passwords. If you need very strong security, Windows logon passwords just don't cut the mustard. -kw Tag: SBS 2003 Tag: 120001

    - Sending email I am currently running sbs 2K on a single machine and have installed exchange server and ISA server. I was able to send and receive email through exchange but not with ISA filter packets enabled. I got help through this forum and used internet connection wizard to get things set. I was able to get email to receive through my filter packets but not send email from outlook on any client machines. If I disable filter packets I still cannot send email out. If I send from the ISA server it goes out fine. When I send from a client machine I get the following error message. Task 'pop.earthlink.net - Sending and Receiving' reported error (0x800CCC0F) : 'The connection to the server was interrupted. If this problem continues, contact your server administrator or ISP. Since I am the server admin, this obviously will not be the solution, kinda embarassing... Oh well... any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. This has been an excellent forum!

    - website and DNS issues I currently have a SBS setup as follows: I have a registered domain name mydomain.com and I am running IIS on the server so that internet users can access their email through OWA. There is a third party web hosting provider that is hosting the main web site. Here is the problem, whenever internal users try to access the main website, they cannot. Either ISA, or DNS is not allowing them to see it. I am guessing the when the server processes the request, it is thinking it is the www.mydomain.com when there is nothing hosted locally execpt OWA. Does anyone know how to correct this problem. I have tried about everything to figure this out. Thanks much in advance!!! Kerry Tag: SBS 2003 Tag: 119999

    - OWA w/o ISA Has anyone ever set up OWA with out using ISA server? I have a netscreen box that is my firewall and I would rather keep it than use ISA server. All the documentation that I'm finding is setting it up through ISA server and I can't put my external ip address in ISA server. Any help would be great! thanks Tag: SBS 2003 Tag: 119993

    - OWA - Unauthorized error for all except Administrator Hi: I've just set up my first SBS box and I'm having a problem getting OWA to work. I can log on as administrator and it works fine, but normal users can't get in. I've checked the settings in the users, and they're at the default enabled for HTTP. I've also gone through MS KB article 327843 with no success. My only book resource, SBS2000 Best Practices, is of no use (as an aside, if anyone has any better suggestions for reference, I'd be grateful). Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Bobby Tag: SBS 2003 Tag: 119992

    - ntbackup.exe command line won't backup Exchange In SBS 2000 I've created a backup set using the Backup Wizard, selecting backup everything on the local computer. I saved the resulting selections to a job, and created a batch file to execute the backup. The selections include everything on drives C: and D: along with everything on drive M: (exchange) and System State. When launched from the batch file, C:, D: and System State get backed up and verified, but M: is totally ignored. The exchange database and log files are skipped during the backup of D:, as they are in use. Can this be fixed, or do I have to use sequential ntbackup commands for c:\ d:\ /DS /IS and systsmestate? Below is the batch file, followed by the contents of the .bks job. BATCH FILE (all on one line): NTBACKUP.EXE backup "@c:\backup scripts\ccnightly.bks" /v:yes /r:no /rs:no /hc:on /m normal /j "Nightly CDMSysState" /l:f /p "4mm DDS" /um CCNIGHTLY.BKS: C:\ C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\BGinfo\ /Exclude C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\ /Exclude D:\ M:\ SystemState Tag: SBS 2003 Tag: 119991

    - SBS Services Stopping HELP!!! Running Windows 2000 5.00.2195 Service Pack 3 Approx 10 XP Prof. clients Every few days my IIS Service, FTP Service, and all of my Exchange services are stopped. I can't find any messages that look like they would cause this, and I have run several virus scans that turned up nothing. Any ideas what might be causing this? The only thing I KNOW that changed from before it started was that we were assigned a 'static' IP from our ISP instead of our 'dynamic' one. I have OWA going, I have http, ftp, terminal services, SMTP, POP3 all open. Thank you so much for your help! Tag: SBS 2003 Tag: 119980

    - SBS2K and 2 routers We are changing ISP providers. I now have 2 routers, 1 from each ISP. The previous ISP has not been notified of the soon to be DNS Address changes from my Domain Name provider (Verisign). Can I use one router for email and another for Internet access? It may take Verisign a couple of days to change the DNS addresses. I did not want to have any email interruption. This way I could still get old email from my original ISP, while I am waiting for my DNS rollover from my Domain Name Provider. I have 3 nic cards in my SBS2K Server and right now I have Intranet on 1 nic and the 2 routers on the other 2 nics. I have done nothing in SB2K to introduce the new router to the domain. You follow my drift here? -nn Tag: SBS 2003 Tag: 119954

    - Network Infrastructure - Please help I am setting up a Small Business Server 2000 network for a small business primarily to host SQL Server and Exchange, in addition to serving as a domain controller. I am using SBS because of the reduced cost of the bundled packages for a network that will have few users. In addition to the SBS server I will have a web server sitting as a standalone server in a DMZ (while the web server is available to the public, it will only be used to contact the database by internal employees). I would also like to set up a test server which will need IIS and SQL Server. I know that SBS must run as the root domain controller and no more than one instance of SBS can run in the same network, however it is cheaper for me to use another edition of SBS for the test server instead of purchasing Win2K Server and SQL Server 2000 separately. I would also like to use SBS so the test environment mimics as closely as possible the production environment. I would like some recommendations on whether this is the best way to implement or if running two different domains for test and production will cause too many headaches. Any help is appreciated.

    - OT- Bare Metal Recovery I am looking for advice/recommendation for solutions that would allow for a server to be recovered as quickly as possible. I have a customer who will be purchasing two W2k servers. The second is strictly for backup purposes. Both will be identical and contain 4 18gig SCSI Raid 5 arrays. Worst case scenario is the main server is completely destroyed! He wants to take the backup and "restore" from his external tape drive. He will already have W2k installed on the backup. I see several problems with this scenario: 1. If the original server is completely destroyed then it is likely the tape drive will also be destroyed. This can be remedied by purchasing a second tape drive. 2. Doing a file/file restore onto a blank W2k box may not bring the system into a recoverable state because of the SFN/LFN issues. Also, presumably the backup may not be at the same service pack level etc as the primary server. This could be remedied by using some sort of imaging software and tape restore combination. Any recommendations on this setup? How about using Veritas Bare Metal Restore Option? Any comments? How about using Powerquest's V2i software? or Sunbelt's Double-Take software? Comments. Thanks, John Tag: SBS 2003 Tag: 119926

    - ISA blocks ipass update: UDP 67, 68 and 137. Hi, We use a service that is called iPass and allows us to connect to the internet from anywhere in the world. When users connect to our LAN they can update the POP's and the software if there is an update. However, ISA blocks that. Currently there is a 4.2 MB update (new version) and that is very anoying for travellers to update on a 56K modem connection (usually getting 25K or so)... Please find below the ISALogs... I'm unable to understand this: the IPPD log seems to have a problem with UDP ports 67, 68 and 137. I noticed these same ports in the log when I tried to use Netscape from inside our network and when I tried to setup FTP from outside to inside... What is it with these ports? Do I have some weird NAT config? Please help!!!

    - NT Backup Hello everyone, I hope someone can help me. I have recently given up using Vertas Backup Exec 8.6 on my SBS2000 server, since when ever I run a backup it just seats there queued. I have been trying NT Backup and it it seem to work fine. I am running an 8 DDS4 autoloader. Currently I have to deallocate and prepare tapes by hand in the removeable storage MMC. Is there any way I can automate this so when I go on holiday for example I can just get someone to load a tape for me. Many Thanks in advance. Regards Martin Tag: SBS 2003 Tag: 119919

    - OT (?) - problems browsing with IE6 Don't know if it's off topic or not, but I'm getting odd behaviour on a client PC in Internet Explorer 6, when right-clicking on a link and selecting "Open Link in New Window". Initially, there are no problems, but after a while when I follow the same procedure, the new window opens up, shows nothing and eventually times out with "cannot find server or DNS error". On the other hand, if I first open a new IE window and paste the link into the address bar, the page always opens just fine. Tried this on another workstation, didn't experience the same problem. On the problem workstation, newsgroup browsing with OE is problem-free, and pinging the URL's shows no problems. Client is Win2K with SP4, using Firewall client and SecureNAT connection through ISA server. Can anybody point me in the right direction here - should I be looking at an IE setting, an ISA setting, a firewall client setting, or something else? Tag: SBS 2003 Tag: 119909

    - Detect port scan Hi, I've just been checking in a spare moment (rare) and doing a port scan of my server from the outside. I can see in the ISA logs that ISA is blocking all the probes, but I thought I had set ISA to report such a port scan to me through email and the event log, but this is not happening. What do I need to do to set this up? eg tp get emails showing a port scan has occurred. Keith Tag: SBS 2003 Tag: 119905

    - SBS Fax Service - UK-available compatible modem Wondering if anyone can help. We install SBS 2000 for clients, and have numerous problems configuring the SBS Fax service and it appears pretty unstable once configured. Reading through various newsgroups, it appears that the problem can be fixed with a modem on the hardware compatibility list. My challenge though is sourcing a make/model for the UK, within the budget of a typical small business, that is on the hardware compatibility list. I have really struggled to identify one from the list, and would appreciate a recommendation of one that works - especially grateful if you can supply manufacturer name, model number and if you have it a link to their site. Thanks in advance. Ian Denny Tag: SBS 2003 Tag: 119898

    - Exmerge Question I have an SBS4.5 Server, just bought a new server and installed SBS2000. We are going to build a whole new domain, pretty much start from scratch. We are going to use EXMERGE to backup the old emails from the 4.5 domain. Then we are going to use Exmerge to import those to our new domain. Here's the question. On the 4.5 domain the usernames on the network (and mailboxes) were the users first name only, on the new domain we are going to first initial last name usernames. I have never run Exmerge but I want to make sure that I will be able to map the old mailboxes to the right new accounts. Any advice? Thanks! Douglas Tag: SBS 2003 Tag: 119891

    - Backup Domain in SBS I've two Servers located in two different Countrys. One is SBS(AD), One is Win2000 server(member server, no AD). There are using the Linksys VPN Router to connect these two computers(network). The internet connection in Win2000 site is not too stable, it will drop the connect anytime and the VPN connection will drop at the same time. When it is lost, it will be caused a big Problem. The client computers on the site on Win2000 server will not be abled to access the files whatever that is located in SBS side or Local Side. (i think that is the security problem.) Can this problem be fixed by me promoting the win2000 server as a backup domain? After promoting, what will happen when the internet connection drop again? Will it need huge the internet traffic for maintain the security at the both side servers? Thanks for help..... Tag: SBS 2003 Tag: 119850

    - Outlook/Exchange query hi all we have a confusing problem with Outlook/Exchange. emails are all working correctly internally and externally. exchange backups all fine etc etc. only problem is email previewing or opening of emails seems to be very SLOW. ie too slow we have just upgraded with HP proliant ml350 + 9 HP D530 ultraslims so it should be a heck of a lot faster. to confuse things we have looked more closely and founfd that the previewing of emails is only an issue with internal emails. ie if we send an email from our office to theirs the process works fine. if they send one from one staff memeber to the next it seems to take ages. v.odd - have checked name resolution for eny DNS mishaps but all seems correct. tia Jeremy when the client sets up we just upgraded the whole network and then discovered the network switch was in fact a 16 port hub.

    - SBS 2000 & ICS setup questions Hi all, I have a couple of SBS 2000 & ICS questions. 1. What is the impact of changing the server's IP address after SBS setup? Is there a tool to propogate the change across all dependant services (like Novell's INETCFG)? 2. Do users need to login to the server to use the Internet gateway? I am doing a phased install where some users will remain on the old Novell/Sygate LAN for awhile, and some will migrate to SBS right away. I would prefer to use SBS for the Internet gateway for everyone. Any Suggestions? Best Regards ...... Craig Tag: SBS 2003 Tag: 119774

    - Email Filtering Not Working I'm running Small Business Server 2000 (Windows 2000 Server, Exchange 2000 Server, ISA Server 2000, etc.). I've setup the Exchange 2000 Server portion of SBS to filter junk mail but it's not working. I did the setup in accordance with information from the MS Knowledge Base and on line help. I also checked several texts and web sites and they all say the same thing about doing the setup - i.e. setup the addresses to filter in Exchange System Manager under Global Settings>Message Delivery>Filtering and enable filtering under Servers>Protocols>SMTP>SMTP Virtual Server. I tested that filtering in accordance with Knowledge Base article 313395 and that showed that the test message was blocked. My problem is that when I test email filtering by sending an email from a remote location that is supposed to be filtered the message comes through. I tried re-installing Exchange and I have service pack 3 installed but nothing I've done results in the email being filtered as I think it should be. I am stumped for a solution and would appreciate any help that anyone can provide. Thanks very much. Gary Tag: SBS 2003 Tag: 119773

    - SBS 2k User Wizard wont create email box I have just installed sbs 2k, patched it all up and then tried to create users. The users show up in the Active directory, they sign in and can authenticate, but for some reason the 4 of the 5 user do not have email boxes created within exchange. I went straight through the setup wizard, too all the defaults, got the message when finished that an email box had been setup. When I look at the properties of a user onthe exchange tab it shows the exchange server and the mailbox name/alias, but within the exchange manager only one of the boxes shows up. Any ideas????

    - moving exchange 2k mailboxes from SBS to full server 2000 My appologies in advance if this has been covered already, I looked through the archive. We've got exchange 2k working well on SBS. A separate server 2k (full) (duh) is happy as a backup dc. I have the Exchange 2000 Move Server Method instructions, all 23 steps, they seem to make sense. However I am wondering how SBS is going to react to changing the 5 FSMO roles (step 14). Also the last few steps concern demoting the current dc, I suspect this should not be attempted until we are ready to turn SBS off. Does anyone have any experience in this situation?

    - FYI: Secure logon from public kiosk machines...really bad idea. Imagine this: You're traveling for business, and for one reason or another, you need to access your work PC. You've thought ahead and installed remote-access software on your desktop system, so you're able to control it remotely from any machine with Internet Explorer or Netscape. You head to the nearest Kinko's, log on to the Net from one of the PCs there, and take care of your business remotely. Works great, right? Not this time. Once you return to the office, you find you've indirectly caused a security breach. It turns out a hacker gleaned your password by logging your keystrokes on that Kinko's PC and used the info to break into your company's network. http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-3513-5053016.html yes, they are talking about GoToMyPC as well here.
