    - XP boot order Hi all, i want to change the order of applications on startup. The problem is as follows: When you log onto an XP pro box it needs to connect to the win2k server and as its running wireless it initialises the wireless card last hence missing the sync on logins etc etc. Once up you log out and log in and it connects ok. Is there a way to tell the XP pro box to load the wireless network first? Thanks in advance Paris Tag: Busy for long time on Start Icon Tag: 129383

    - Three site installation I have a three site organisation with approx 40 users in total. Each site is linked by ADSL. Facilities required are email, shared diaries, web proxy and file access across sites. Should I implement SBS2000 at one site and W2K servers as additional domain controllers or should I implement W2K at each site with one hosting exchange server. Additional servers would require ISA server in both cases. Is there anything to be gained going down the all W2K route other than future expandability and greater expense? Are there any issues with SBS2000 in a multi-site environment? I appreciate any thoughts. Iain Tag: Busy for long time on Start Icon Tag: 129366

    - SBS Exchange upgrade fails Some of you may have seen my earlier post...trying to SP3 my SBS Exchange, but the upgrade refuses to see the SP1 version running. SP4 for windows portion of SBSSP1a worked fine. Have tried to re-install Exchange from SBS setup to restore the appropriate Registry flags, but the install refuses to "see" my existing Active Directory Configuration files in NTDS.

    - ISA and PCs on the LAN We used to have our SBS2000 setup so that any PC on our network could get DHCP, and using IE's LAN / automatic settings browse the internet. Now however, we must manually enter the proxy address, and use usernames / passwords to get out. This is annoying. (may have started since SBS SP1, dunno) What rules are needed to allow any PC assigned a DHCP address to be able to browse without ISA blocking?

Is there a way that I can create a new OU titled "ex users" or similar that I can place old users in so that there will always be a record of which users there have been in the past and so that there will always be a store of that users email account in case for any reason somebody needs to access them?

    - Domain Authentication via Wireless Access Point My customer has a dual-homed server running Windows Small Business Server 2000 with one NIC connected to the LAN and the other connected to the Internet via a hardware firewall. ISA Server 2000 is also used with some IP filters for Blaster, etc. This customer wants to access his domain user account on his laptop via a wireless access point - until now, he has been using a wired connection into his old laptop's nic. Wiring the wireless access point into the Ethernet switch, assigning it a LAN IP address and using MAC address to control acces works with getting the laptop to work to the WAP but domain authentication is not working - he cannot access his user and company shared folder, etc. Reading the various white papers, etc., I think that the WAP needs to be wired to the hardware firewall and be given an IP address in the subnet used by the internal connection of the hardware firewall and the external connection of the server - effectively, the DMZ. We would need Certificate services running on the server along with RRAS, etc. so that the user authenticates with the server via Remote Access. Is this correct? Or is it possible to configure the WAP on the LAN and obtain domain authentication on this internal subnet? If so, how can this be achieved, please? Thanks in anticipation. Joe.

    - Patching I would like to know how how people here handle this patching madness. I work in a company of three full-time and two part-time employees. One of our full-time employees is the owner, who has many non-technical responsibilities although he has a technical background. One of the part-time employees is an administrative assistant with no technical background. The other part-time employee works two or three mornings a week. My full-time colleague is still getting up to speed on servers but also takes care of lots of the easier calls. This pretty much leaves me largely or wholly responsible for about 40 servers, including about 20 SBS units. I have VPN access to most of them but I've been reluctant to patch remotely, if only on account of having heard that some error messages don't display on the Terminal Services session. Plus, our clients are widely scattered geographically, so if something blows up it may not be easy for me to make an emergency on-site visit. In addition to server maintenance I also have to do routine service calls such as "I can't print" or "My UPS is beeping." It's hard to ignore the things that people demand that you fix right away while doing work that nobody asked you to do (we did have one smart guy who asked us for the Blaster patch though). We got stretched to the limit by the blackout in the Northeast; lots of stuff got fried or otherwise discombobulated. I really wanted to patch for Blaster but had no way to do it unless I did it remotely, and even then I'd have to go home and do it after hours. I think I may have patched about 10 or 15 of the 40, tops. Yesterday I made it to a server but it already had W32.Welchia on it. So what's a bedraggled technician to do? Am I just one of many or am I going about it wrong? Tag: Busy for long time on Start Icon Tag: 129277

    - DNS Hi on my sbs 2000 server, if i go into the the properties of my lan connection and then the properties of tcp/ip, on the general tab my Preferred DNS server is the ip address of my SBS 2000 server and the alternate DNS Server is the 127.0.0.1 address. Is this correct? Do i need to put in the DNS Server of my ISP somewhere? I thought that this was the spot. If i go into admin tools and then dns and right click on my server, on the interfaces tab it is set to "only the following IP address" which has the ip address of my server. Is this correct? On the forwarders tab it says it is not available because this is a root server. Is this correct? I am confused. Something does not sound right to me. Please help someone.

    - Thanks to reader IK This is in reference to post "Trend Officescan Not Updating" posted on 8/31/03, thanks IK for posting the hotfix and link needed from Trend. I was having this exact same problem and have corresponded with Trend but was never able to get it resolved. I have since obtained this hotfix and for the first time, my w/s updated automatically. I did not need to do a manual update. One question though, while my w/s updated automatically, when I opened the Trend Server Protect Management Console, I noticed that the server was still at pattern 628 (the last pattern file). It downloaded pattern 630 (the newest) and deployed it to all the w/s but the server is still at 628. I could hit the "deploy now" button & it would update to 630. Is there a separate hotfix for this. Or is it something I'm missing? I'm running the Client Server Suite from Trend. Anyone know the answer to this? TIA!

    - Disabling a user's internet access The manager of my client's medical company asked me to disable internet access for one user.

Not exactly ideal security, but it was the only way to get the software to work properly. I need to maintain this setting. Is there any other way to disable a user's internet access?

    - SBS2000 Implementation I'm working with a business who have two, shortly to be three, locations. For reasons unknown to me they are currently running two separate installations of SBS2000 (one for each site). The three locations will all have broadband connections to the internet. The servers are currently used for file serving and email through exchange. The choices I can see are: 1) That they consolidate to one copy of SBS 2000 at the main site and have win2k servers configured as additional domain controllers at each of the other sites. (The additional servers will also require ISA server for proxy control). Each of the sites will be linked by VPN. The additional domain controllers will allow local login and centralised admin via AD. 2) They implement Win2k server at each of the three sites. One server will also run Exchange server for clients at all three locations. Each server will also have ISA server for proxy controls. Each site will be linked by VPN. AD replication will allow local logins and cetralised management. I know the second option is more expensive but the customer is getting close to the 50 user SBS threshhold. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Iain Tag: Busy for long time on Start Icon Tag: 129172

    - Restoring Information Store with Veritas Ok, using sbs 2000 fully patched. Our exchange store got corrupted and I was trying to restore it using veritas backup exec. Came accross a problem that I hope someone may be able to solve. Every time I tried, the restore job failed. In event manager it had: Source: ESE BACKUP Event: 904 "Information Store (1300) Callback function call ErrESECBRestoreGetDestination ended with error 0xC7FE1F41 Database is in use." According to MS KB Article 291996 (and Veritas) this is caused by not dismounting the databases or by failing to allow overwrite permissions by restore jobs. However, I have definitely done this on the Mailbox Store and the Public Folder Store and it still doesnt work. I have also checked that the store names are the same on the backup tape as on the server. I have kind of got round the problem by just moving all the files from the MDBDATA folder and then restoring. This isnt ideal and I was wondering if anyone knows why this may be happening.
