    - 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: OT- Bare Metal Recovery 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: OT- Bare Metal Recovery 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: OT- Bare Metal Recovery 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: OT- Bare Metal Recovery 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: OT- Bare Metal Recovery 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: OT- Bare Metal Recovery 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.

    - GPO on member TS I am setting up a Win2K terminal server member to a SBS2K domain. On the TS, we will need to have a few different groups created. Some of the users will need access to run certain applications, while others not. I have followed KB263070, but when I attempt to click on the Group Policy Tab I recieve the error "The Domain controller for Group Policy operations is not available. You may cancel this ioeratn for this session or retry using one of the following domain controller choices: The one with the Operations Master token for the PDC emulator The one used by the Active Directory Snap-ins Use any available domain controller.

    - 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.

    - 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: OT- Bare Metal Recovery Tag: 119773

This is causing the Hard drives to constantly work and grind. Bouncing the server did nothing. They came right back using at least 50% of the CPU and the HardDrives are worling overtime.

    - 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? Thanks in advance for any input! Mike Schomburg Tag: OT- Bare Metal Recovery Tag: 119699

If you are successful and get web access it does not last more than a few pages before getting timeout messages from ISA Server. Even though the connection is still up. Hope this makes sense.

    - 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.

    - SBS 2000 initiated Internet traffic causing $300+ ISDN bill - Help! I recently replaced an old Novell server with SBS 2000. I just got my phone bill for my ISDN line (I don't have access to DSL or cable) and it was over $300 (instead of $75-$80). I suspect something in SBS 2000 is connecting to the internet every 15 minutes or so day and night. I have a Netopia ISDN router that connects to my ISP on demand and drops the connection after 5 minutes of no traffic. Formerly all workstations sent DNS requests directly to ISP, now they go to Sever 2000, and it forwards them on to ISP. (so DNS seems to be one suspect.) I use Exchange's POP3 connecter, but have it set up to check mail only twice a day, so it can't be that. I have disabled Windows Update yesterday, but the router still shows about 20 hours a day on connection time! Can you think of anything else in Microsoft Small Business Server 2000 that would connect to the Internet often? Thanks in advance for any help. Joel Froese Tag: OT- Bare Metal Recovery Tag: 119633

    - Router Long post, sorry BAH! I can't reuse my old router with the new cable modem. =( I'm in the market for a new router and would like some input from everyone on what they have had good experience with. I already know the next question: What are you trying to do with it? Here goes. Running SBS2000 and in the past have had it locked down tighter than me trying to get into jeans from high school. Not because I'm some security guru, actually quite the opposite. It was locked down because I didn't know how to open things safely. So what I HAD was a DSL Router that grabbed a dynamic IP from the ISP, hit an internal hardware firewall, ran it through NAT into ISA, then to the client. When doing a port probe the entire setup would show up as 'stealth'. (tested using the GRC probe test, not a favorite by all) All we used the DSL for was Internet and retrieval of Pop3 mail Via the connector. Thats where we were. Here's where we are/want to go: We now have a 2Mb/768Kb connection via Cable with a static IP. As mentioned, my old router (Flowpoint) won't work with the new cable modem. When I plug the new modem into my WAN NIC on SBS I can get it running, however despite setting up packet filters to block 80 and 443 they show as wide open using the port probe test. I figure with a decent router I can block those ports or turn them off to a DMZ machine. My hope is that we can use this new static IP for all the toys we've been avoiding to this point: VPN, Outlook Web Access, SMTP. So I need a router that will allow me to use these services without needing to buy additional software, stand on my head, and chant various incantations in reverse. Options I've (lightly) investigated: Netgear FVS318. appears it only supports 8 connections via VPN with a netgear on both sides and additional software. Linksys BEFSX41. only supports 2 VPN connections. Heard 'ify' reviews of Linksys in general. The Catch: Like many of you, we are a small business. Under 20 people. We don't have dedicated IT staff, we don't have an official "IT" budget. While I understand the 2 products I mentioned are very 'residential' type products, I don't have a bottomless pit of money to go by a Cisco router and the tech that goes with it. Despite that, we DO want to invest in the right product for our needs. If that means I need to spend more than $150, then I will. Thanks for any/all input. Tag: OT- Bare Metal Recovery Tag: 119631

    - New SBS Server - How To Change Over?? Hi, I've purchased a new all singing, all dancing server and want to transfer everything over.

Have tried scavenging the WINS database, and finally ended up replacing with a fresh one so that it would reload - which worked, except I can't seem to get the security audits to stop failing. There seems to be a familar pattern emerging here - mess about with something...crash it...mess about some more...scratch head...ask for help! Thanks in advance (again!) Matt.

    - Cant logon / WINS / DNS Our client says his server went down overnight due to powercuts (even though he has UPS on it) partway through his backup and now most of the workstations can't logon. The 2 XP workstations seem able to logon but all the Windows 98 machines (about 5 of them) bar 1 can't logon. "The domain password you supplied is incorrect or access to your logon server has been denied" I have noticed the following problems that might be related: WINS console says "Cannot find WINS server" "The network address is invalid", although the wins service is running and according the the status page is responding. Deleting and restarting WINS.mdb etc has not helped. Event Viewer: System log shows a number of event 5775 DNS deregistration errors for what appears to be the global catalog. DNS log shows an error "DNS could not open the active directory" I have tried to recreate the DNS zone in accord with KB294328 but the global catalog and other microsoft info does not get recreated. This did not solve the WINS error above anyway. All workstations seem to be able to ping the server successfully using ip address and name. pinging the server name gives the correct ip address. BTW. DNS was failing the 2 tests in the console but I checked the DNS server on the 2nd NIC (internet) and it was set to 127.0.0.1 instead of 192.168.16.2, changing that seems to have fixed that problem. It sounds to me like DNS/AD is corrupted somehow but I am not sure what to do next. Any help much appreciated please. -- Darwood - MCP, MCSE Tag: OT- Bare Metal Recovery Tag: 119561

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

John, I see that no one is adopting your question here. I'll try to get to
it over the weekend. I'm sure other people have ideas, but it's a
combination of a bad week for patch demands and a topic that's not got a
