    - Lost files 6 months ago OK so I have a client that I picked up a few weeks ago. He was working on a job about 6 monthe ago, then their client dropped the cause of lack of money. Now the client is back, but my client has deleted all the files from his server for that job. He asked me if I could retrieve them, I said maybe...I had him download this http://store.yahoo.com/rognerud/index.html and and use it, but couldnt find those files that he needed. I asked him about his backups and he said that he probally wouldnt have it, since it was 6 months ago and it probally has been overwritten many times by now. Question A: Is there a way that we can get these files back using a cheap program mantioned above? Question B: What is a good backup routime scheme. I was thining about 1 full monthly backup (1 tape per month) stored offsite. 1 full tape per week, and run a differential on the non-full-backup days. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

    - AOL and SBS2K I have a client that has SBS2K running, however the owner refuses to go away from his AOL account and I can't seem to get a straight answer with the AOL "techs". One of them even suggested turn off ISA, re-running AOL, then turning ISA back on. As of this moment, he can't use the AOL start up screen - just the log-in screen when opening up an IE browser window. Outside of hypnotizing him to change ISP's, can I get him to use his AOL the way he's used to using it? Tag: SBS 2003 Tag: 147102

    - Help please - WMI causing server to slow to a crawl I have a problem with my SBS 2000 server. When I start the WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) service, it uses up all over 90% of CPU time and slowes the server right down to a crawl. My tech. support, stopped the service & disabled it so I can run at normal speed for the time being. Problem is, without WMI started, i get frequent application log alerts. Any way to fix this problem? I was running Windows 2000 SP3, installed SP4, still same problem. Please help. w Tag: SBS 2003 Tag: 147068

    - How to do this? Hi We have an SBS2000 server which has an access database running internally, supporting around 20 users. The server is connected to a broadband connection. Is it viable for us to run an asp.net web site on the same server that allows visitors (around ten on average) to view the content of the internal database? As you can see there are several issues here; performance of server, security, broadband bandwidth, access etc. If this is not feasible, what would be the recommended way to achieve this? It is not possible to rewrite access database for SQL server just now. Thanks Regards Tag: SBS 2003 Tag: 147066

    - Out of Office on Exchange I have the Out of Office reply running on the workstations attached to EXServer2K within SBS2k. Went into Global Settings and made surte it was checked to allow OoO replies ti internet mail (an original problem I had) and it seemed to work on the check out. Now, what I am noticing, is that once this people leave and turn off their system, the OoO is not going out, but if I turn on their systems and then try it, it runs perfectly. I know there has to be a way for this to work without them leaving their systems on for two weeks....can someone point me in the right direction. Tag: SBS 2003 Tag: 147063

    - Default Shared folders, Admin Password, Outlook thru TS I am a SBS Newbie and am in the process of setting up a SBS2K server & a Win2000 TS in Application Mode. I have a number of questions re. the setup 1) I want to move the default company & user shared folders from the C-Drive to another drive. I have read the MS article 329640 on moving the folders but some help is required. The C-Drive is 12 GB, using 4 already, D-Drive is 34 GB and has Exchange Server installed on it and an E- Drive of 22 GB. Which would be the better drive to move the shared folders to or not move them at all ? 2) If I do move the folders, I assume the User setup wizard will know the folders have moved and to where and when using the magic disk the folders that appear on the users desktop will be mapped correctly ? 3) When I installed SBS, I used a basic password for the Administrator, but I have not installed any backup, AV software yet and from the postings it seems I should change the Admin password before I start doing any major software installations / continue with the SBS2k setup. Correct ? 4) I am also going to install Office XP on the TS in Applic Server Mode. Do I install Office on the C-Drive or the D-Drive ? Do I store the bespoke Access Database we use, on the D-Drive of the TS or on the SBS2k server ? Do I install any Accounting applications that we use on the TS as well or on the SBS2k server ? 5) Is it better for users to use Outlook thru TS ? or use Outlook from SBS2k server ? I have been told that using the internet thru TS takes quite a lot of bandwidth so best to use IE from the local desktop ? Correct ? 6) If I want to personalise the TS screen for each user, how do I save the settings created for user or is it better to have a default TS session screen ? 7) I have not tried it yet, but when I log onto a TS session am I able to view my specific users folder shortcut on the desktop or do I use my network places to find my folder on the SBS2k server ? Any assistance greatly appreciated. Regards Antony Tag: SBS 2003 Tag: 147040

    - OT: Seasons Greetings! I don't know when or how often I'll get back to the Newsgroups in the next week or so, so I'd like to thank -everyone- because without you these forums wouldn't exist, or be the quality sources of experiences, hurdles, ideas and solutions that they are. May you all have the merriest of seasons, whatever your celebrations be. and just to put things in a perspective, on a commercial note: The price of True Love: ================================================ From ABC (Aust) News: Gold rings cheaper, swans-a-swimming more expensive By Matthew Liddy The price of 'True Love' has risen this Christmas, according to United States economists who have analysed the cost of five gold rings, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree. For the past 19 years, PNC Advisors has produced a tongue-in-cheek Christmas Price Index based on the current prices for everything the 'True Love' buys in the song The 12 Days of Christmas. The Total Christmas Price Index, representing the combined cost of the goods and services, is up 16 per cent this year, with the price of the swans showing a particularly steep climb. "Unlike 2002, when swans took a significant dive in price, these graceful feathered friends have bounced back to their 2001 level of $US500 a piece, up from $US300 last year, according to the Philadelphia Zoo," the PNC report said. "The four calling birds are also flying high at $US400, more than a 26 per cent increase from last year." PNC has also put together its True Cost of Christmas index, which examines the total cost of all the items in the Christmas carol, including all its repetitions. This year, the 364 items total $US65,264, up from $US54,951. That is a rise of almost 19 per cent, smashing the previous record increase of 8.4 per cent in 1987. Jeff Kleintop, chief investment strategist for PNC Advisors, says the index's trends mirror changes in the wider US economy. "The index reflects the broader trend of productivity growth in the US economy that has driven prices lower on goods while allowing prices for services to rise modestly," Mr Kleintop said in a statement. "Whereas in the mid-1980s the cost of the goods in the song dominated the index, the trend over time has been toward lower goods prices, such as the pear tree and higher prices for skilled labour, such as the pipers," he said. "The abundance of cheap labour in countries such as China have contributed toward increased pressure on US manufacturers to outsource their unskilled labour overseas and evolve toward higher-skilled areas, to maintain profitability. "Unfortunately, the unskilled maids haven't managed an increase in price for their services in many years." Among the goods prices to drop were the five gold rings, down 5.6 per cent, and the pear tree, down 28.6 per cent from last year. The discounts were offset by the dancers, pipers and drummers, who saw big jumps in the cost of their services over 2002. "We have seen a record increase in the 2003 index, possibly indicating that the fears over deflation that we saw last year may begin to recede, as general price levels begin to pick up and the outlook returns to one suggesting the economic recovery may be sustainable," Mr Kleintop said.

Such regulations force companies to introduce security measures and procedures or face fines or civil or criminal charges. However, regulations are often relatively vague, and adhering to them does not guarantee that an organization really has a robust security program. http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid14_gci942102,00.html -------------------- The article asserts that computer viruses and worms did not utilize any spectacular technical innovations in 2003 because established infection and propagation methods continue to work effectively. According to Joe Hartmann, director of North American anti-virus research at Trend Micro Inc., 'regular' e-mail and mass-mailing worms will continue to be popular in 2004. He added: "They are working, so why fix them?" The year 2003 did see some developments in the virus field; the SQL Slammer worm of January 2003 spread so rapidly that most vulnerable machines were infected within minutes; in addition, malware increasingly appears to be created out of a profit motive and virus writers are being linked to spammers and other online criminals. The second article gives a brief history of malware and highlights a few of the most interesting and disruptive past viruses and worms. http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid14_gci941986,00.html http://www.ecommercetimes.com/perl/story/32422.html ----------------- When the fix is worse than the problem..... Openwares.org, an open source and freeware development organization, has released a patch for a vulnerability in Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE) web browser that could allow an attacker to spoof legitimate sites. However, it appears that the patch itself contains a buffer overflow bug; in addition, it is thought to "pass information over to the Openwares' web site". Microsoft has acknowledged the existence of the IE vulnerability, but has failed to release a patch for it to date. http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/34610.html ------------------- Australian bank Westpac is warning customers about an e-mail scam that tries to trick users into providing their account information by pretending to be a Westpac security advisory warning people about such 'phishing' scams. The e-mail, titled 'Online Banking: Protect Yourself from Internet Fraud', appears to be from Westpac, offers details of known phishing scams, then links customers to a fake Westpac website where they are asked to 'validate' their account information. The scam can be identified by the fact that the e-mail contains poor grammar, font variations and a link to a site where customers are asked to enter their details, something banks would never do. http://news.zdnet.co.uk/0,39020330,39118642,00.htm --------------------- What to watch in 2004 Each week vnunet.com asks a different expert to give their views on recent virus and security issues, with advice, warnings and information on the latest threats.

    - Connecting XP Workstations to SBS 2003 I just finished setting up a Dell server with SBS 2003. I created five computers and 3 users using the SBS wizards. All three users have administrative privileges. The final message from the computer setup session is "... go to http://localservername/ConnectComputer" on each workstation you want to connect I did this on two workstations and got into the SBS 2003 connection wizard. The wizard asks for LoginID and Password. When I enter the required information, I immediately get a message to the effect that " ... the computer list and user list cannot be found on the server ... make sure the network adapters are configured correctly ... So what am I doing wrong? What do I need to do? I did not change any settings from those that shipped with the computers from Dell. I know I have connectivity, but apparently the server will not recognize the workstations Please help. I am desperate (no joke). I'm sorry if this is a redundant question but I could not find anything similar in the previous messages. You can contact me via email, HALinNY77@aol.com or post here.

    - VPN problem I am having a problem with the VPN connection(s). It was working fine previous to a Nachi worm attack. During and after the attack I may have mistakenly reset certain config settings trying to diagnose the problem before I realized the worm was active. We rectified the worm situation and I reset our remote access services via the ISA. Right now the remote client acknowledges that the VPN is connected, the server indicates that a port is active. The client cannot access any network resources. The error message of insufficient permission is given ....see administrator. This error is even when top administrator is logged in, remotely. I think that I am missing a basic configuration setting but my schedule only allows part time administration and diagnosing. The VPN was convenient and I would want to get it back up. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Tom of Wytech. Tag: SBS 2003 Tag: 147002

I would like to be able to ping, telnet, TS etc. from inside to the Internet (on the external NIC). I realise this is not the best scenario and not something I would neccesarily deploy. I have read several docs on at least being able to ping out. No success at all. I have configured the client as SNAT, ticked the routing box in packet filters and ensured the icmp "allow" packet filters were enabled. The best I can get is ping to resolve a dns name to an ip, nothing more, no ping response. This has me, I have tried on 3 SBS servers now. All of these SBS machines have had ISA running and clients doing there thing normally. I guess the best way to describe the situation I am trying to emulate is that like ICS running on a WinXP workstation with a few workgroup computers accessing the net via it. ICS seems to let just about everything through. Is what I am trying to ask of ISA possible ? If so, I would be extremely greatfull for any advise on how to configure it. Kindest regards, Tony Tag: SBS 2003 Tag: 146990

    - SBS 2003 Travan Backup I installed SBS 2003 on a server. The tape backup worked for a week and then when it went to overwrite the previous weeks data it failed. We tried many different ideas, deleting, inventory, free, restarting services, etc. Nothing seemed to work properly. Now it just stopping responding if you try to do anything with tape drive. It tries to mount the tape and then it goes quiet with a green blinking light. It seems like a driver problem, but I willing to entertain any suggestions. It's a Seagate STT 3401A drive. Thanx for any help. Tag: SBS 2003 Tag: 146984

    - Disk error Hi I did a regular chkdsk on C: drive and it came up with a "deleting dsnJournal$ entry..." error. Then it spent hours trying to "Recover lost clusters..". I finally got fed up waiting for it and rebooted the server. The server seems to be doing what it should be doing. My question is how bad is deletion of dsnjournal$ entry? How should I proceed from here? Thanks Regards Tag: SBS 2003 Tag: 146982

    - TS Question Network is SBS 2000. Want to setup a member 2003 Server as TS in app mode. With SBS 2000 and a 2000 Server in member mode the SBS was made the TS License manager. Do I still need to do it that way? I would prefer the 2003 Server ran the TS license server. On the Windows 2003 member server running TS in app mode will I still have free Windows 2000 Pro and XP Pro client licenses? Thanks ahead for your input! Dirk-Thomas Tag: SBS 2003 Tag: 146978

Have a site that any email containing a CC to a user at the site tries to go out as if relaying. Of course email doesn't go out cos it can't relay. i.e email from someone@somecompany.com to user@company.com cc to anotheruser@anothercompany.com user gets email then administrator gets undeliverable to anotheruser@anothercompany.com sent from someone@somecompany.com...

    - Internet connection Problem - need Help Using W2K SBS, I have set up a DSL line/modem with a router (static IP) and disabled DHCP on the router. I have forward ports 80, 25,443. I have setup using ICW. I am able to ping all IP - internal and external. Here is what happens. I can go from one work station to another - logon and get access to the internet. However, when I go back to the same one that I accessed the internet on, I cannot get access. Another problem seems to be popping up - sometimes I can logon at the work station and sometimes I can not?? The router, modem,switch, and NIC cards (all) are displaying activity. The LAT table does not have the external IP in it. I do have IP 127 (that SBS set up) in my settings. Should that be there?? We did have a power loss the other day. Anyone, your thoughts please.

    - recovering M drive - exchange failure Hi i restored my c drive using an image because my M drive disappeared somehow and exchange has now stopped working. I have followed the following http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en- us;320202 and have had no success. I have tried to remove and reinstall exchange and no success. It seems to leave crap behind and so i cannot totally uninstall exchange. I cannot get my m drive back. Then i tried to use the ifsdrive script which is meant to put back the m drive and it also did not work. Are there any other MS Exchange switches i can use to help with the recovery? I have used the following so far: /removeorg and /forestprep and /domainprep. I want to try /disasterrecovery but am not sure what it is meant to do. Are there any others? I did have my install and logs set to c drive and my databases (information store) set to d drive. Could this be why i am having so much trouble. I have wasted two days already. Some of the event ID's are 494 (fails with error 1216), 454, 101 (fails with error 3252) and 9518. I need to recover m drive somehow. Please help!!! Tag: SBS 2003 Tag: 146933

We are going to be installing SBS 2003 in the coming
weeks, can any one
suggest any good reference material (Installation guides,
tips etc) for a
good place to start?

Should I be concerned with anything at this early stage,
having had a good
experience with SBS 2000 and SBS 4.5, or is it smooth
sailing all the way?

Any feedback would be appreciate from those who have
implemented SBS 2003.

The built in help is just great. There is lots of setup info you can print out. Make sure you follow each step and enter info like IP's very carfully. Most if the help info just gets printed up in the books anyway so most books are not the helpful. The SBS03 hellp is good. Some of it could be updated one more time. Pay attention to setting up clients XP and 2000 vs. otheres and things should go well.

Happy installs
