    - Active Directory Hi, I have a Small Business Server 2000 with windows 2000 clients. The problem is that I have a Windows 2000 Server with active directory on it, to which is active as a BDC. For some reason last night the PDC and the BDC stopped talking and now I cant gain access to the BDC except for logging onto the Server itself. Is there anyway you can remove AD from the server? I have tried allsorts and I still haven't got anywhere. Every time I go to use the DCPROMO tool it disallows me to uninstall AD because it cannot communicate to the PDC (SBS2K box). I have looked all over the web with no joy. So if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated by me and the staff who work with me. Thanks in advance Andy C Tag: Active Directory problem!

    - More VPN problems Right, we loaded service pack 4 and it seemed to fix out intermittent VPN connection problems. I am having a different problem now. When a VPN client connects and I go into My Network Places to browse our domain - the only PC I can see is the VPN client. Our server and the rest of the PCs on the LAN disappear. Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance Regards Robbie Niblock Tag: Active Directory problem! Tag: 144240

    - Backup dhcp server & SBS recovery This week had the misfortune to have two mirrored disks in a SBS2000 server fail thus rendering the server u/s. I had another W2K server configured as a domain controller to authenticate users however the main issue was that I didnt have a backup for the dhcp server so clients could not get the correct IP address allocation. Any ideas on how to set this up would be appreciated. For those who have not ventured down the SBS recovery route yet, I restored the server from tape using backup Exec 8.5 and the procedure listed on the veritas web site for manual recovery. I already had this to hand in my disaster recovery procedures. The only issue that was not listed was the SFN problem (again I was aware and had supporting documentation to hand) which I resolved by re-installing affected applications + patches. Only one day down time wasnt too bad! Tag: Active Directory problem! Tag: 144231

    - Corrupted files - important or not? Help Hi We have W2K SBS all SP'd and patched up. It 'went into one' this morning, loosing some clients with DHCP problems, and eventually the internet. On reboot it seems OK. However when I ran the virus checker ot reported it could not scan some 14 files because they were corrupt. These were: c:\progra~1\common~1\micros~1\triedit\triedit.dll c:\progra~1\veritas\backup~1\nt\shuie.dll c:\winnt\$ntser~1\idq.dll c:\winnt\$ntserv~1\webhits.dll c:\winnt\$n6bec~1\idq.dll c:\winnt\servic~1i386\webhits.dll c:\winnt\system32\dllcache\ieshwiz.exe c:\winnt\system32\dllcache\perform.exe c:\winnt\system32\dllcache\triedit.dll c:\winnt\system32\idq.dll c:\winnt\system32\ieshwiz.dll c:\winnt\system32\perfmon.dll c:\winnt\system32\webhits.dll I am note sure whether to try and restore these files from backup, from the MS cd or what. As they are in qhat I consider to be quite significatn folders i am wary about just ignoring this. Any ideas opr advice please Harry Tag: Active Directory problem! Tag: 144222

    - SUS installation - initial mirror question Hi SBS2000 SP4, SUS SP1 I am running SUS on my server. I'd like to roll it out to my end users & many of them including myself, use a 56k modem for Internet access. This makes the initial SUS mirror take about 3 days. (In my rural location, a 56k modem runs at 28k!) Is there a way that I can upload the initial CAB files by CD? I can see the \sus\content\cabs directory but there are also other directories which may include details which should also be copied. Regards Nick Tag: Active Directory problem! Tag: 144193

The problem we have is AOL will not take mail from directly our server so I setup another SMTP for delivery of AOL email to relay to our ISP mail server. This worked for one day & with no other changes to the setup AOL mail is now trying to go out by our SMTP not the new relay?

    - XP Workstations running S-L-O-W OK, I'm at my wits end and tried just about everything suggested in the Knowledge base. 5 Windows XP workstations take between 8 and 15 seconds to open Word and Excel documents, which all other machines open near- instantaneously. The docs were created in Office 97 and all machines are now running Office XP, and the NT/2000 machines are fine, just the 5 new XP CAD stations. I've disabled Oplocks, I've installed SP's and hot fixes, disabled kernal mode filter driver for Backup Exec and McAfee, lots of re-boots and no difference. Performance profiling shows that the workstation is 99% idle, no network traffic, just waiting for the server to respond. Server: Intel Vero Beach, Dual Xeon HT, 1024 GB, 1Gbit backbone, raid. Workstations: Tyan Thunder, Dual Athlon 2400, 2048MB, 3Com 10/100, Quadro FX, uSCSI. All latest drivers and patches. The users of these stations are all local administrators, and I've even tried upping them to domain admins. HELP!!!! John Bilton Tag: Active Directory problem! Tag: 144171

    - Antivirus Exclusions I have just installed Panda Antivirus on my server and want to be sure I have excluded all files and directories that should not be scanned. I found knowledgebase article 328841: Exchange and Antivirus Software. This takes care of the Exchange components. What about Windows 2000 and ISA? I also came across article 822158: Virus Scanning Recommendations on a Windows 2000 Domain Controller. I cannot find any recent references to this article in the newsgroup though. Should I follow these guidelines and make the registry changes? I thought the recycle bin is ususally excluded from virsu scanning.

    - Backup problem (repost) Trying to backup to a tape drive (Seagate STT3401A/Travan Tape) via microsoft backup. Get this message: Required Media Missing There is no unused media available with the selected type. Add unused media or click Cancel to select another type. (Note: It may take 60 seconds for removable storage to recognise new media) This is a first backup routine. In the MS Backup wizard I have two options in the Backup Destination field: "Travan" and "miniQIC" and have tried both. Under Backup Media or File Name Field only have "New Media". Checked Device Manager and it says Tape Drive is working. Looked at Help and have checked Removable Storage as far as I can understand it! EG: A "Media Pool" snap-in has been created called Backup with miniQIC and Travan as sub snap-ins. Can see nothing untoward in their properties, but.... may be missing something. Under the "Physical Locations" snap-in a Seagate STT3401A snap in has been created with sub snap-ins called "Media" and "Drives". The tape injects and ejects from the Seagate snap-in menu. However there is nothing in the details pane when "Media" snap-in is selected. There is a Drive 0 in the details pane when the "Drives" snap-in is selected, however this says "Empty" in the state column. Help! Thanks in anticipation Tag: Active Directory problem! Tag: 144156

    - SBS 2000 Rebuild on New Hardware Hi, Can anyone point me to a document on how to completely re- install SBS onto new hardware. Specifically do I just do a full restore over the top or is there a way of doing a clean install, then restoring AD, File and their security and Exchange thereafter. I am not confident the previous install is very healthy so a clean with a restore over the top of the main data is preferred. Curious Guy Tag: Active Directory problem! Tag: 144147

    - Space used by ISA Report files Hi all, My system drive is running low on disk space. I have been removing files where I can, and came across the program files\microsoft isa server\<guid>\report job folder. This folder contains many files of the format REP20011229-REP20020104.IRP. Obviously some of these files are fairly old, and each of them are around the 200-300 kb mark. In my ISA Array, Monitoring Config the three logs are set to go to a different location to that mmentioned above. Anybody know if these files are safe to delete, or of a location where I can set up cyclical report generation so that I have no more than a certain number of report?

If I have another application I want to make available to just *some* of the TS users, how do I go about doing that. 3.

    - OWA, VPN and SP1a Morning people (your timezone may vary) I have 3 loosely connected questions so please forgive me if I bolt them together: a) I connect with my SBS2K system from home via VPN (ADSL at both ends and NAT at home). It works fine for long periods and then I get a disconnect. Often I can reconnect without problems but sporadically, the server refuses the connection. I can still connect via remote desktop but I can't see any error messages in the Event Viewer. No amount of messing around makes any difference apart from a) rebooting the server or b) waiting 24 hours or so. The problem is more likely to happen if I am connecting my laptop via a wireless connection into my home p2p network. Any thoughts on what's happening here and what I can do about it? b) I have OWA operating from SBS. I'm just using the regular ICW version. This works fine from the fixed PC (running XP Home) from home but I have loads of trouble getting through from anywhere else. This seems to be a security issue as the main problem is constant UIC/ password dialog boxes which do not go away when I enter valid credentials. I cannot get in when connecting: i) from a W2K workstation behind a client's ISA firewall; ii) from a workstation in a temporary internet cafe at a conference (connecting, I think to JANET over ISDN I guess); iii) from my laptop using my GPRS-enable mobile phone as a modem (Orange). Is there anything I can do about this? I have looked in the KB and implemented the standard advise from MS. c) Does anyone know how I can get my hands on the CD version of SP1a for SBS2000? This is available to US customers but not UK ones. The service pack files themselves I have downloaded but there are several utilities (including upgraded Outlook clients) which are not in the web distribution. Thanks for listening.

    - Spam, Exchange 200, SBS2003 Hi all, We have a problem. We have hundreds of email messages filling up the program files\exchsrvr\mailroot\vsi 1\badmail directory. We disconnected the SBS box from both the internet and the LAN at the same time, and it still happens. Shutting down the Exchange services stops it from happening. This implies that we have some kind of worm or script on the server itself. We have followed several KB articles regarding relaying and anonymous access to the virtual SMTP server, without success. Has anyone seen this before, or have some suggestions as to how to find and eliminate it ? Ian Welch Tag: Active Directory problem! Tag: 144100

    - SBS vs Server What exactly is the difference between Small Business Server and just regular server (2k or 2k3)? My boss got a free copy of SBS and is convinced that we now don't need to upgrade our exchange 2000 to a 2003 server with exchange 2003. We can just go to SBS 2003 with Exchange 2003 technologies... I'm thinking there has got to be a document out there that explains why one would have to go the Server route over SBS. Tag: Active Directory problem! Tag: 144094

    - Terminal Services and licensing Hello All, first time using this tool but I am really in a bind... We recently purchased a OEM version of Small Biz Server 2000 to put on a very inexpensive server that we purchased. We got it set up and installed around the end of August and now it is poping a message "Your terminal services temporary client licenses will expire in 15 days". Do we only get temporary licenses and we must purchase Terminal Services CAL's or did we not set up everything correcly?

    - Internet Access over VPN connection Hi all, I am trying to setup vpn access to a clients SBS2K so they can access it from home. I have VPN connection all working, they can use Outlook and browse the file system without problems albeit a little slow. I havent been able to get web browsing working as yet. The ISA server is returning an error that the URL is being denied which is not happening when they are on the LAN. Is there somewhere in ISA where I should be allowing internet access to VPN clients?

    - What's wrong with my batch file for ntbackup? /um switch I am trying to run a backup job using a .cmd file per Microsoft's suggestion for an unmanaged daily backup but it doesn't work.

But when I double click on the .cmd file it just flashes and goes away. What's the reason? I have been trying for months to get ntbackup to run a daily backup job of selected files using one of two DDS3 tapes. Set to overwrite, I expect the job to not care which tape is in (I selected "New" for which type of media to use when i defined the job) but it doesn't work reliably. Seems to be RSM and the way it handles labels I guess? I discovered the /um switch which is supposed to obviate any requirement for user interaction on a stand alone tape drive (Seagate DAT) but I have yet to see it work reliably. I can do manuals just fine but that takes the fun out of automation plus it irks me that this shouldn't be rocket science to schedule a backup. I keep one tape in the drive and one in a safe location and swap them out fairly often. I don't want to be bothered by a request to "put in XXX tape please" to continue a backup. Just overwrite what is on the tape in the drive and be done with it. Any help is really appreciated Jeff Tag: Active Directory problem! Tag: 144049

    - Defragmenting SBS2000 disks? Been looking at maintenance on my nearly three year old sbs2k install and looking at defragmentation.... do I need it or not. C: drive holds the usual stuff and page file, D has page file client apps, User disks and exchange, E had url cache and Company stuff including sqldb's. Over the 30 months or so there's been a lot of file activity and access to our regular stuff like templates etc does seem to be slowing. We've been using diskeeper defrag on clients (NTFS win2kpro). Seems to work well but to be honest I've no actual proof or measurement to say it provides any real benefits. Downloaded and installed the Diskeeper server enterprise version on trial on my sbs2k and ran an analysis which says the C: D: and E: (all basically) drives are heavily fragged and to defrag it. Can I ask people opinions on this? I haven't used the MS installed defragger, which in understand is a cut down diskeeper, but I assume since it's there there's no issues running the thing? What about Exchange - I presume its not a good thing to defrag it, especially if its running? Same for SQL? Ideas or experience appreciated. rgrds Tag: Active Directory problem! Tag: 144041

    - All disks appear as 'dynamic' after reboot?w Help! Seems as though my disks, C: mirrored, D: & E: hardware raid , all previously simple volumes have been converted to dynamic disks after the last reboot? Huh? Has anyone seen this as a result of service? All I know is that I have *not* set the disk to be converted.... Boot took much longer than normal. First noticed the problem because I use Acronis True image server to do a physical disk image in addition to my NTBackup routine. Acronis doesn't like dynamic disks, only simple and got upset. Took an image before service (SP4) a few weeks ago ok. and rebooted after service ok. Didn't ntice any problems. Had to reboot to try and cure a dns prob Monday, coincidentally Monday evening was a sheduled monthly image which failed... Any ideas?

    - Router on LAN query Hi all, Hopefully not too strange a query here. We have a nice working SBS2000 set-up here, Internet connection via 2nd NIC and Broadband Router. We also have a PBX which also acts as a Router and also provides some nice CTI functionality. Query is this: We [or more specifically certain users on the LAN] need to be able to route out via the PBX's integral router to certain customer sites. To access the full CTI functionality of the PBX we need the PBX sitting on our INTERNAL LAN range. By default obviously, any packets not destined for the internal LAN get routed outwards by the Server - hence no routing to clients via the PBX... What I've done thus far is this: 1] Moved the PBX to our internal LAN [was previously sitting between the external NIC and the Broadband Router - worked fine in that set-up but less CTI functionality] and assigned it a fixed IP address on our LAN which is reserved in the DHCP set-up on the SBS box. In the Router config on the PBX I've entered a default route pointing at the Server's internal NIC address so that any packets not for any of the PBX defined routes/addresses get passed to the SBS box. 2] This has enabled the full CTI side - so far, so good 3] Re-ran the ICW and Internet access is working fine from both Server and LAN clients 4] I've also amended the DHCP scope to have the PBX/Router as another Router and moved this to be first in the list of router addresses provided via DHCP 5] From a standalone laptop without the ISA client, I can route to clients via the PBX no problem - so it *appears* that the DHCP/routing side is working fine 6] However, from my PC with the ISA client I cannot route via the PBX I *think* that the ISA client *appears* to be the likely thing I need to configure somehow but I'm unsure how to do so - can anyone provide any pointers? What I want [ideally] is to have all packets from any LAN clients going to the PBX/Router initially and if they're destined for one of the remote clients on that side, get routed by the PBX. If not, the packets should be forwarded to the SBS box and dealt with as normal. Or is what we're trying to achieve impossible? Thanks in advance, David Tag: Active Directory problem! Tag: 144027

    - Problems with OWA On random e-mails within OWA users will get a "Page not found" error. Users also get this same error message if they try to change their password from within OWA. No problems with the full Outlook client. They can read the same message in the full client that they could not read in OWA. Any ideas? Tag: Active Directory problem! Tag: 144026

    - TS and Office I am going to install a SBS2000 to use mainly as a Terminal Server in application mode (I know it is not the best, but customr wants that) I haven't decided yet which version of Office I'll install. Do I need to buy just one licence (since it will be installed only on the TS computer), or one licence per user/device. Can I get the OEM version or is there a particular licence for Terminal Services? Hope you can help, Thanks, Filippo Tag: Active Directory problem! Tag: 144022

    - Drive Mappings We moved drive mapping from server test (for example) to server test2. Now the mappings still go to the server test and are X'ed out because they cannot map. We used the same letters. The script on the server points to the correct mapping, but the workstations still try to map to the old mapping. If we delete both the workstation profile and the server, it fixes the problem, but then we have to redo mail, winfax, etc... We can add a new mapping with a different drive letter and point to the new server test2 and it works fine. I was going to try to use the net use /d command to get rid of them and then start over. Any other ideas. Thanks. Pat Tag: Active Directory problem! Tag: 144021

    - Installer problem I run XP Pro and Office 2000. I needed to do a System Restore and afterwards am unable to update Office I get following error message when trying: Error! Unable to check for updates on this computer Help The Office Update site is unable to check for updates on this computer. This may be happening because of one of the following reasons: a.. Windows Installer patch files (.MSP files) from previously applied Office updates are missing from the \Windows\Installer hidden directory on your computer. MSP files are stored on your computer after update installation completes because they need to be referenced for future update operations. If the files are missing you will not be able to apply Office updates. You may also be unable to uninstall Office products as a result of the same problem. Please contact Microsoft Product Support for assistance. b.. You installed Office updates in the past and then upgraded from Windows Installer version 1.0 to Windows Installer version 1.1. For more information see the KB article Windows Installer May Prompt for Install Source if Unavailable. I don't know how to fix the issue. Can anyone please help. Thanks.

    - ISA Issues We have certain users who have the ISA Firewall icon in the system tray which when hovered over shows the following. "Configured to use ISA Server (OurCompaniesServerName)" They do no have the green circle with the arrow in their Firewall Icon either. Other users when we hover over the icon on the system tray appear normal. E.G. "Connected to ISA Server (OurCompaniesServerName)" but they have the green circle with the arrow in their Firewall Icon. When i have gone to ISA management on the server it also shows something strange in that some users appear to have ISA Firewall sessions and others who can browse the web etc don't appear to have sessions against their names. What's going here anyone any ideas? Tag: Active Directory problem! Tag: 144009

    - SBS 4,0a and W2K Servers in same Domain? I am currently using SBS v4.0a as Exchange mail server and am now looking to introduce a W2K server into the same domain and make the W2k Server the primary Domain Controller. I understand that by installing W2K in mixed mode this is okay. Can any one confirm this and are their any techinical docs that explain the procedure. Many Thanks in advance.

    - SBS 2K3 setup problem I've just installed SBS 2K3 for the first time and it installed so much better than SBS 2K. Very sweet since I always had problems with that part. But now I'm running into problems in the part that used to be easy for me and which might all relate back to the intranet site. When I open IE to http://companyweb/ from the admin profile I get a "not authorized to view this page" message. From Server Management if I go to Internal WebSite and click on: Change Name Manage Access Change Homepage Layout or anything else I get a "Server Error in '/' Application. The resource cannot be found" message. The local domain was setup as oursite.lan and I chose to name our intranet lib.oursite.org setting it up as a subdomain or our site. Our hosting company also pointed the subdomain to our website hosting servers so I get our website loading when I type the lib.oursite.org address into a browser. THE problem or just a problem? I also cannot get the computers running W2K to connect to the server by typing the http://servername/computerconnect into the address bar and keep getting "page cannot be displayed" and "server cannot find server" messages. Part of the same problem or something else? I would really appreciate hearing that I didn't do something very stupid by not acceptting "mycompanyweb" as the default during the setup and will now have to reload everything. Thanks again for the help. Leigh Tag: Active Directory problem! Tag: 144005

Hi,
I have a Small Business Server 2000 with windows 2000 clients.
The problem is that I have a Windows 2000 Server with active directory on
it, to which is active as a BDC. For some reason last night the PDC and the
BDC stopped talking and now I cant gain access to the BDC except for logging
onto the Server itself.
Is there anyway you can remove AD from the server?
I have tried allsorts and I still haven't got anywhere. Every time I go to
use the DCPROMO tool it disallows me to uninstall AD because it cannot
communicate to the PDC (SBS2K box).
I have looked all over the web with no joy. So if anyone can help it would
be greatly appreciated by me and the staff who work with me.
Thanks in advance

Andy,

1) there are no PDC and BDC in 2000, everythign is a DC
2) Don't just randomly DCPROMO in fear, that will not fix ANYTHING!!!
3) What is in your event log?
4) Your problem is either DNS or FRS and likely an EASY problem to fix, we
just need more info like event log msgs and EXACTLY how DNS is setup.
