    - Large Attachments Hi All, Is there an easy way in Exchange (either native or add product) to have all outgoing messages over a certain size to be forward to admin mailbox for vetting rather than just being sent or blocked. The problem I have is that a number of users are sending large attachments with thought to reducing there size (eg large word documents with embedded images) by zipping or other means.

    - Happy Holidays This is a great time of year to express sincere thanks to everyone in this group. If it weren't for the MVP's and other leaders of this group, it would clearly be nonexistent. Every one of you take the time to go above and beyond any call of duty to help others. The gifts you give--time, knowledge, advice, etc.--is worth far more than simple thank you's. I have learned so much from this group and my own mistakes, that....well....can't even put words to it. May each of you have a wonderful Holiday and a Happy New year. 2003 was certainly eventful for me and I have much to give thanks for. All of you are part of it. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

    - OWA Internal Server Error Hello all: Running: SBS2k, ISA (2 nics), Exchange sp3 I am experiencing an internal server error message (windows, not http 500) when accessing OWA from the internet or LAN. I have checked the Exchange settings, Event Logs, etc. and it seems to be an IIS problem. http://server/public and http://server/exchange behave similarly. The side frames load, but nothing in the middle - just 'loading'. Users are able to create and send mail, contacts, appointments, etc. through OWA, but not view anything posted. According to the MSKB, I have examined the net time (set correctly and synchronized), and the directory permissions (both file and IIS) seem ok. I believe it is IIS because in Exchange Manager, I receive error message: 'Operation failed due to an internal server error. ID no: c1030af2; Exchange System Manager' when attempting to expand the public folders. My understanding is that this is a virtual connection through IIS. Any ideas??? Thanks, Scott Tag: SBS2000 ISA Tag: 147198

    - DNS Problems I hope someone can help wit this. I have a client who is running SBS2000 sp4 with 2 nic's in the server one on the LAN and one as a gateway to a ADSL router. I have configured the LAN NIC to use the SBS DNS server (On 10.0.0.1) and I have configured the DNS Server to forward requests to external DNS servers. The problem Im having is as follows if you attempt to resolve a url sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. When its working it will resolve perfectly but then it just stops working and you get the host unknown messege weather you do it from the server or a client. It wont work for arround 10 mins then it starts working again for a short while. This repeats consistantly. Some of the things I have tried are: Using different forwarders in DNS Server. Assigning Multiple DNS servers to the Server NIC manually and the clients using DHCP. Keeping the internal DNS server 10.0.0.1 as the primary and having multiple external DNS servers as the secondary ones. Disabling WINS Flushing the DNS cash using ipconfig /flushdns The current config is all DNS requests go to the SBS DNS Server 10.0.0.1 and it is set to forward. This includes DNS requests for internet access and Exchange Server. Using NSLOOKUP the correct server is responding weather it resolves or not. This problem is driving my client nuts and its getting embarrasing. There are no errors occuring in the event log. Please can any one help. Tag: SBS2000 ISA Tag: 147195

    - upgrade server Hi! I want to upgrade the server hardware, especially the hard drives and power supplies as ~3 years seems to be a lifetime for those two parts. We currently have a dual p3 1000mhz system with 1gig ram. We also have 2 30gb hard drives in raid. If we go to the P4 2.8 with hyperthreading and a gig ram, is that technically faster and better than what we currently have? With a limited budget, if I propose xeon's I think I'll be slammed at the idea. What would suggestions be? Thanks. Marcia Tag: SBS2000 ISA Tag: 147184

    - 2 networks connecting through dial up...... I have 13 workgrouops in different locations, they must use a class A network range to operate existing software. At each location I have one PC that communicates with my SBS03 server for drop off a data files and Email. They currently aren't connected to the internet although they will be in the near future. The local workstations (for software reasons are required to be static) are using the same range of IP addresses as my SBS server. With SBS4.5 they were able to communicate and get email using the dial-up adpter just fine. Now windows 98 PC can dial and have access but the windows 2000 PC's connect to the server but don't get any DHCP info so they don't communicate properly. I dissabled the local network adapter and the windows 2000 PC was then able to access email. But I need the network connection to remain established for the software to work across the local network. How can I get this connection to work with the Windows 2000 machines? I have also tried to force a connection to the domain, but it won't allow the connection , stating that it can not be found Thoughts and Ideas anyone Tag: SBS2000 ISA Tag: 147178

    - SMTP virtual server queue problem Hello, I currently have a SBS2k machine with exchange 2000 that has 10 users on it. My default smtp virtual server queue has a large amount of data in it. This just happened in the last two days plus the weekend. The data in the que is "SMTP connector 'website.name' (SMTP connector Remote Delivery) and there are a 100 or so in the queue.

    - Migrating W2K domain to SBS 2003 Hi we've got a Windows 2000 domain with a single DC and we'd like to move towards SBS 2003 (and keeping the current DC and domain name). What is the best way to do that I thought of adding the new server as a Windows 2000 DC, trasfer the FSMO roles to this server and then upgrade it to SBS 2003. The original DC will be preserved and will act a secondary DC. Could be this the best way Thanks in advance. Tag: SBS2000 ISA Tag: 147169

    - Firewall Client Installation Fails Someone please help!!!! Server: SBS 2000 Workstations: W2K Initially, I tried to install FWC by assigning the .MSI file to the workstation using group policy. The install kicked in OK, but froze before completing install. Second, I tried to install manually, logged on as local Admin account. This time, the following error is displayed: "Failed to copy C:\Program Files\Microsoft Firewall Client\internal_setup\setup_a.ini to c:\Program Files\Microsoft Firewall Client\internal_setup\setup.ini Internal Error: 0x2" Third, I tried Group Policy again, this time using elevated privilages. Install froze as per initial attempt. I have searched MS KB and groups for answer but I am at a loss. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Tag: SBS2000 ISA Tag: 147142

    - TS Licensing Help I am a bit confused re. TS Licensing. I know I need to install Terminal Services on the Application Server and TS Licensing on the SBS. However we have bought some XP workstations and we have a Volume License for Win XP Pro for some workstations that I will upgrade after they are connected to the servers. However when I activate the Terminal Services, I know I need the License Server ID (ie SBS ID)but I also need a License code for the Terminal Services client license pack but I thought I did not need to buy TS CAL's for XP Pro workstations. If I needed to use ODBC from a Win 98 machine to access an Access database table on the Application server, would I need a TS CAL for that 98 machine ? Could someone please explain this TS licensing issue ? Any help greatly appreciated. Regards Antony Tag: SBS2000 ISA Tag: 147140

    - 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: SBS2000 ISA Tag: 147102

    - 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: SBS2000 ISA Tag: 147066

    - 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: SBS2000 ISA 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. Christmas Price Index http://www.pncbank.com/12days/ ================================================ Have a Merry One, and a prosperous and fulfilling New Year. Henry Craven.

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. Many thanks in advance Hal in New York Tag: SBS2000 ISA Tag: 147021

    - upgrade server and go to sbs2003? Hi I going to upgrade our SBS2000 server from a PIII machine to a P4 based machine. Is there a recommended upgrade procedure for this so I can keep all the existing setup, or is it best to re-install from scratch (and maybe go to SBS2003 at the same time) Thanks Frank Tag: SBS2000 ISA Tag: 147007

    - 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: SBS2000 ISA Tag: 147002
