    - SBS POP3 Connector Client has been using the POP3 conector to retrieve mail for several months; yesterday it stopped working. If I click the 'Retrieve now' button on the properties dialogue, get message 'Initialization Error'. No error number, nothing in the application event log in event viewer. I have set diagnostics logging to maximum for this connector. Is there a separate event log for Exchange / POP3 connector events? I have tried removing and replacing the global ISP mail host record in the POP3 connector dialogue, and also re- booting the server. Anyone got any ideas how to troubleshoot this?

    - Solution - Win2k SBS POP3 Connector - C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION Group, Had this error yesterday, a Google search didn't come up with a quick solution so I thought I'd post how I fixed it, in our case. (I think) it turned out to be a corrupt message in the POP3 Conn. queues. I had read on some older posts that corrupt email can jam up the service, and proceeded to delete the mail on our hosting server - did not fix the problem. We also had a corrupt event app log, which I thought maybe hung up the service. So I fixed that (set eventview service to Disabled, reboot, delete ..\system32\config\*.evt, reset service to Auto, reboot). POP3 Conn started, but would not retreieve mail. Finally I stopped the POP3 Connector and deleted orphaned messages in ..\Program Files\MS BackOffice\???\POP3 Conn\Incoming and InForward, and another directory full of .etb files (can't remember as I write this, on different machine now) that turned out to be the account information. Recreating the account information after restarting the service seemed to solve the issue and the POP3 Connector is working again. Something in there was corrupt. We also had those event log problems and my wins db was corrupt, and CHKDSK took a long time (was remote so couldn't see screen + logging was disabled) so I'm thinking drive issues. Possibly antivirus quaratined something out of there and fubared it, I have since excluded the directory. Hope this helps someone in the future.

    - Users Hi, If the server is SBS2000 then you do not need to create the computer account on the server. With Win2000 servers the accounts are created when the computer is joined to the domain. Make sure that you have joined the domain using a user account that has permission to create the account. Tag: Backup Exec hangs at "99% Complete" Tag: 159965

    - Windows 2003 System Accounts within 2000SBS Domain Sorry if you have seen this already but I think I posted it to the wrong place. I have just added a Windows 2003 DC to a Windows 2000 SBS domain and I seem to be missing at least one system account specific to windows 2003 (specifically the 'NETWORK SERVICE' account). Before you ask I did follow through the ADPrep routine prior to bringing the 2003 server into the domain, and all went well. Has anyone else experienced this or have any ideas on what to try to get this system account to show/install itself? The reason this was noticed and came about was due to a problem with the fax service and running it on a domain controller - apparently I needed to give the network service account some user rights according to this link: http://www.adminlife.com/247reference/msgs/13/67140.aspx Upon trying to add the account I identified that it wasn't listed therefore my current situation above .. I am going to try to add the SID for this account (S-1-5- 20) directly to those rights and see if that solves my problem in the mean time, but I would appreciate any thoughts anyone might have on this still.

    - SBS 2003 - VPN - IPX Configuration I have VPN and RRAS setup however I cannot find out how to configure the IPX portion of the VPN clients connection. I want to provide the vpn client with the IPX/SPX network information that allows him/her to use the protocol through pptp. I scoured the internet, help files, etc. Microsoft posts... ----- A computer running the NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol (NWLink) cannot connect to other computers. Cause: Routing might be configured incorrectly. Solution: Try the following: Verify that you have NetBIOS broadcast propagation (type 20 packets) enabled on all the router router Hardware that helps local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs) achieve interoperability and connectivity and that can link LANs that have different network topologies (such as Ethernet and Token Ring). Routers match packet headers to a LAN segment and choose the best path for the packet, optimizing network performance.interfaces between the computers. (A Windows remote access server, which is a server running Windows Server 2003 and the Routing and Remote Access service, is an IPX router.) You can enable NetBIOS broadcast propagation in Routing and Remote Access. Verify that you do not have more than eight routers between the computers running Windows. ... Note: Computers running operating systems in the Windows Server 2003 family cannot be IPX routers. ----- Post 2 (Really Helpful!!!) --- Cause: The VPN client is configured to request its own IPX node number, and the VPN server is not configured to allow IPX clients to request their own IPX node number. Solution: Configure the VPN server to allow IPX clients to request their own IPX node number. --- Is ipx routing capability a necessity for SBS 2003 RRAS to provide the necessary ipx/spx information to the vpn client in order to have a successful ipx/spx connection through pptp?

    - Exchange 2003 POP3 Connector removing routing details? Hello, In Outlook if I click View> Options I can see the email headers. If I download messages directly from the POP3 server at my ISP, the headers generally contain three or more lines starting with: 'Received:'. This shows which email servers have been used to route the email from the original sender, through my ISP and to me. When I received emails through my exchange account, which uses the POP3 Connector, I only get one entry beginning: 'Received: from mail pickup service'. All the information about the routing of the messages through my ISP and from the originator appear to have been stripped from the messages. This did not used to happen before we migrated from SBS2000 to SBS2003. Is there a setting somewhere to prevent the POP3 Connector from removing these headers? TIA Phil.

The primary domain controller will obviously be the SBS box, and the second machine will be a Windows2003 box which will be the apps server. There are a total of 20 workstations (WXP).SBS comes with 5 clients, and we were going to purchase another 20 clients. How does that work with the second server?

    - Upgrading SBS Group Policy for Windows XP Hello, I am trying to upgrade the sbs policy to include the additional xp features (using kb 307900). However, the new values are not injected into the existing policies. There is one exception to this: if I create a brand new policy on the server and then open that policy on an xp pro machine (without opening it first on the server), it updates perfectly. However, if i then attempt to open up the policy on the server, all new settings are lost.... Can anyone shed any light on what is going wrong?

(1) HIGH: Internet Explorer Multiple Vulnerabilities Affected: IE 6.0 and 6.0 SP1 Description: Fully patched versions of Internet Explorer reportedly contain the following vulnerabilities that are being exploited in thewild to compromise client systems. (a) Internet Explorer successfully processes a webserver response that redirects the location of a resourceto a file on the client system. Note that this file can be accessed inthe security context of the "Local Computer Zone". (b) Internet Explorer contains a cross-domain vulnerability that can be triggered whenhandling a frame, and a "modal dialog box" that is invoked from theframe. These vulnerabilities can be exploited by a malicious website toexecute arbitrary code on a client system. The technical details and theexploits have been publicly posted. Status: Microsoft not confirmed, no patches available.Council Site Actions: Most of the reporting council sites are awaitingthe vendor patches. Some sites plan to roll out the patch during thenormal system update cycle and others plan to expedite the rollout.Several sites have already notified their desktop support teams to beaware of the problem. http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/fulldisclosure/2004-06/0031.html Analysis by Jelmer CERT Advisoryhttp://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/713878 --------------------- UPDATE - YES IT WORKS JUST FINE ON XP WITH IE6 and even works like a champ on XP sp2] So I just kicked my workstation at the office and the workstation at home's Internet explorer to ?high security? settings. What that means is that I've shut down the scripting and active X to be automatically blocked at all times. Then if I have a web site that I really trust and know if an OK site, I add it to ?my trusted site? list. Now this normally is a pain and a bother.... tools, options, security, internet zone, add sites, blah blah... way way way too cumbersome. Well not anymore! My MVP buddies showed me this gem -- http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/previous/webaccess/pwrtwks.mspx This little IE addition adds a quick shortcut under ?Tools? for ?add to trusted sites?. I just did this to a couple of people at the office and here at home and showed them all they have to do when they get to a web site that they really ?need? to have working [like a business site] they can add the site to the trusted zone and hit ?refresh? and voila. Very nice. Very much safer out here. I've also adjusted my "trusted zone" to not be "low" and instead is now "medium" so it prompts me instead of automatically scripting. And add sites to the trusted zone SPARINGLY. **************************************************************** (2) MODERATE: Oracle E-Business Suite SQL Injection VulnerabilitiesAffected: Oracle E-Business Suite versions 11i, 11.5.1 to 11.5.8Oracle Applications version 11.0Description: Oracle E-Business suite offers a set of applications toautomate business processes such as marketing, customer services,supply-chain management etc. The pertinent business information istypically stored in a single database, and accessed via the webfront-end offered by the E-Business suite applications.

    - Internet Service Down Hi All: This morning our internet connections from our SBS server went south. I have checked the ISP connection and the DSL modem by using a laptop to connect to the internet through the DSL modem, service works fine. Our setup is as follows: SBS with 2 NIC's, router (Netgear), DSL modem (Actiontec). I have checked the IP addresses and nothing appears changed from last Friday when everything was running fine. I have even rerun the ICW hoping that would solve the problem but still cannot connect to the internet. I hope that someone can give me some direction to solve my problem. A second issue is that in our event log I am receiving Event ID errors 1126, and warning id 1655. I have read KD318170 and it refers to installing the latest service pack. I have installed SBS SP1a which should include the latest. Would a reinstall of SP1a solve the problem? Any help would be appreciated. I am sure that I have not been specific enough so will provide any additional nformation that may be needed. Thanks in advance Gerald P Tag: Backup Exec hangs at "99% Complete" Tag: 159914

    - ISA and internal Webcam Hi everyone, I have a weird problem which I think is ISA-related... this is the scenario: SBS2k + ISA w/2 NICs WinXP Pro workstations (ISA firewall client + proxy settings) 1 Webcam (built-in webserver) connected directly to the switch inside the SBS Lan (and a static IP assigned). I can access the webcam perfectly from my laptop (which isn't part of the domain nor has the ISA client installed or proxy settings). However, all other workstations (which are configured to use ISA) can see the webcam but with many errors: pics don't load, links don't work and more importantly the ActiveX component is never even loaded to see the picture. I think it has to do with the ISA proxy since it might be blocking something and/or doesn't know where to look for the camera. I can pinpoint the problem because it still connects and some stuff does load (and some load after a reload, ect.). Any ideas/suggestions? -- Javier [SBS MVP] << SBS ROCKS!!! >> Tag: Backup Exec hangs at "99% Complete" Tag: 159902

    - Adding Windows Server 2K3 to SBS2K domain I have found some resources showing that it is possible to add a W2K3 server to our SBS2K domain, but I also read that each of the servers you add uses one of the SBS2K licenses. Is that correct? If I remember correctly you can have a max of 50 SBS2K licenses. Is that right? Also, when I add a W2K3 Server, I would license it per-seat, using the total number of seats purchased with the SBS2K server, right? Thanks! Tag: Backup Exec hangs at "99% Complete" Tag: 159901

    - How to turn of DHCP Hello, We have an SBS2000server with one NIC and a DSL modem and a Zywall firewall. All the 12 work stations assign IP address automatically. Weve been experiencing some slowness with the network recently, and an engineer suggested that we assign a fixed IP address to each ws and remove DHCP from the server. Is removing DHCP as simple as deactivating the one scope that they have ? Or should we completely remove it ? Any help would be appreciated.

    - Firewall and SBS 2003 Does anyone know of a good firewall that can be configured through SBS 2003 ICW? I have a D-Link router on my home network and SBS 2003 says that it can configure it automatically, but then generates an error when trying to do so. Configuring it manually, I can get it to work just fine, but not sure if I have it configured in the most secure manner. This is my test server. At work, we have a Cisco 506e that SBS 2003 ICW says it can configure automaticaly, but then also generates an error. I do not know how to configure this firewall manually, though. This firewall, I inherited and I know it has not been updated in a couple years with OS releases and we don't even have a GUI interface to configure it. I'm sure there are newer firewalls on the market that provide just as secure protection, are much easier to configure and are probably configurable by SBS 2003 itself. Has anyone had success with any? I'm a networking novice. Just looking for decent intrusion protection, vpn and owa access. Thanks, John Tag: Backup Exec hangs at "99% Complete" Tag: 159886

    - Firewall and SBS 2003 Hello, I've been able to get SBS 2003 to work with all my remote access requirements working just fine on several test machines at home. The problem is that at work, I've inherited a Cisco PIX firewall 506e that I have no idea how to configure. This has been in place for several years with no updates installed on it. There is no GUI interface and I'm not at all familiar enough with Cisco firewalls to update or re-configure it to work with SBS 2003. (Previously, we had NT 4, with no remote access other than OWA configured). My question is, does anyone know of a good basic firewall that SBS can configure through the ICW that will work well with SBS using VPN and OWA. I have several users that need to connect through VPN but they have dynamic IP's so I'd like to allow VPN pass-through and use Windows Authentication to allow access. Is this a good solution for SBS 2003? Thanks, John Tag: Backup Exec hangs at "99% Complete" Tag: 159885

    - Symantec Corporate Edition 9.0 Antivirus Notification on SBS2000 Folks, With version 8.0 of Symantec Antivirus Corp Edition, System Center never showed any infections on our server. Now with version 9.0 about 4 times a day our server catches a virus (usually Netsky) with it's Real-time protection. Furthermore, I've experimented when sending an email from a client machine and witnessed briefly the email scanner popup on the server! We use our server as a shared drive for our in-house software apps. Our Antivirus and mail servers are on different machines. On a final note, the SBS2000 application log is filled every few days with tonnes of Symantec alerts. Version 8.0 never did this. I'd appreciate any suggestions about where to start.

    - Trend patch for long virus pattern numbering Trend have released patches to enable their products to recognise longer virus pattern numbers (at present they are 3 digit) We have the previous incarnation of Trend suite, i.e. Scanmail 6.1; OSCE 5.5; ServerProtect 5.5 When I went to autoupdate OSCE 5.5 to 5.58, I followed the instructions to temporarily change the update URL, and then change it back (to an almost identical URL to the original). All seemed to go fine, apart from having to reboot to access the HTML management page from the server. The ServerProtect instructions also mention a change to that upate URL (which I did and whice seemed to update fine) but.... there is no mention of changing the URL back to the original or similar. I guess I'll have to contact Trend, but anyone know if this is correct or not? Don't want ServerProtect to not be updating the pattern files... Although I like Trend as a firm (their support is good and well-intentioned) and their products seem reliable and competively priced, their documentation sometimes seems like it has been badly translated from another language...

Paul,

Not with 8.6, but with 9.0. There are 3 things I would do:

Reapply service pack to the backup server

Reapply the recent hot fixes from Microsoft - to prevent any openings

I have check Veritas' website for any updates to 8.6 that may resolve
the issue. I did not find anything.

Send me the server OS and Service pack level and the revision of the
BE install - get that from BE's help \ about.

There is also the option of reinstalling Backup Exec. I have done this
without issue to correct minor issues in various version of BE. Just
be sure the install path is the correct one.
