    - WMI status Hi all, Was wondering if anyone has ever seen this before? I have searched around on google and stuff and seems to find a few message boards...etc of people using SBS2000 of having this problem but never seem get a answer/fix. The health monitor on the server is using the default Windows 2000 Perforance Monitors. The cache, Logical Disk, Memory, Network all have critical errors. When I try to reset the monitor its goes back to critical instantly. When I checked the message all have the following message: Enumeration failed. Object not found. Data Collector is misconfigured. Just one example is one the disk monitors:: one is space less than 10. Well the drive is not even half way used so i know that there is something wrong with the monitor. Is there a way to reset and/or reinstall them so it reconfigs the collector. I have it to send me emails for the counters and now I seems to be getting around 1000 or so every morning. The server itself works flawlessly. I have not had any prolems with it as all. Any ideas Thanks Eddie Tag: Cannot get DHCP address via VPN Tag: 171540

    - Public Shared Folder Permissions Hello, SBS2K. The reason why I posted this thread in this group is because I am pretty sure this has been done by most of the users here. I am actually surprised I have yet to do it. That said, here is what I want to do. I need to create a shared folder on the server to be used by the 'Public'. In essence, the folder needs the following characteristics: 1. No one, except for the Administrator can delete the top level Public folder. 2. Users can create subfolders within the top-level folder. 3. Users can read any files or traverse and folders within the top-level folder, but the only files they can change or delete are ones they create. 4.Users can add files, but only into a subfolder within the top level Public folder. They cannot add them directly into the folder. (I am not sure if I actually want to do this which is why I listed it last) I am trying to figure out what permissions to place on this folder to accomplish my goals and have come up with the following: 1. I will create the folder within the Company folder and share it giving the Everyone group full permissions. 2. In terms of the security permissions, I was going to set them up as follows: a. Uncheck allow inheritable permissions to propagate b. Administrator: Full Control (This folder, subfolder, and files) c. Everyone: Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Read (This folder, subfolder, and files) d. CREATOR OWNER: Full Control (This folder, subfolder, and files) I think this should cover the first, second, and third characteristics of what I need for the public folder, but not the fourth. Is this correct? Also, is it possible (or even prudent) to try to accomplish number 4? I was thinking that there maybe characteristics that are standard when establishing a public folder that I am missing here (not 1-4). If so, what are they? Maybe its b/c I haven't had enough coffee, but I always seem to have trouble working with permissions, especially, when they are granular like this. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks, Chris Tag: Cannot get DHCP address via VPN Tag: 171537

    - New users default Internet Explorer Connection settings When one of our new domain users logs into one of workstations for the first time, their web proxy settings are being incorrectly set to http://sbs_servername We have checked our group policies and have never set them to use these settings. Can anyone make any suggestions as to where these settings are coming from and how we can prevent them? We have to manually configure the correct settings which are then stored in the users local profile, so its never a problem when they log back on, but its just very annoying when they log on to a different computer for the first time and when we get new starters. Any suggestions are most welcome. Many thanks Dan Tag: Cannot get DHCP address via VPN Tag: 171535

    - How to get rid of Dula Boot menu Hello, I installed SBS2003 on a scsi drive that i put into a computer that already had an IDE drive with windows 98 on it. When i disconnect the SCSI drive and turn the power on, it still gives me the dual boot menu. When i disconnect the IDE drive it still gives the dual boot menu sometimes and sometimes it just hangs with a blinking cursor on a black screen. How can i fix it so that it only boots from the drive that is connected to the system ? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Tony Tag: Cannot get DHCP address via VPN Tag: 171528

    - WMI Status I seem to be getting lot of health monitor errors. Server is SBS2000 sp1a. The ones that I am getting are: Cache, Logical Disk, Memory, Network. The error that I seems to get on all of them is Enumeration failed. Object not found. Data Collector is misconfigured. Is there a way to reset and/or reinstall all the collectors so that the problems go away. If I manually go into health monitor and try to reset the monitor it pulls the error back up and it will not go away even after restarting the WMI service and/or the server itself. It also seems to send me a email like every min all night long. I usally will get around 1000 emails saying that I have a critical error. I have also read throught the network interface Q article that I found on technet and it didnt seems to help either. The server itself runs fine, not a single problem at all. Thanks for the help.

    - Network Adapters in Server Our Dell Power Edge 800 came with a network adapter installed, and another by itself in a box. SBS 2003, of course. The setup instructions tell me to use two adapters, but the setup poster indicates that one can use a single adapter. We have only 5 users max, and I don't know of any advantage to having two adapters instead of just one. Any input would be helpful :) Thanks, Louis Tag: Cannot get DHCP address via VPN Tag: 171503

    - Replacing NT4.0 server with SBS Server We just bought a Dell Power Edge 800 with SBS. I would like to 'demote' the NT 4.0 server (800MHZ with 256 MB RAM) to a workstation whose only purpose would be to back up files on the network, and store disk images of the workstations. The new server is not in place, and I've not connected to the Internet. It's just on the network with a single network adapter. My question is what should I do to demote the current server to lowly workstation status? As for the workstations, I plan on working on them so they will join the new server's domain. They are XP Pro and one Windows ME (which we will retire if it's a hassle). Tag: Cannot get DHCP address via VPN Tag: 171502

    - 2000 CALs: fulfillment media (ugh) I am in the process of trying to add some additional CALs to our SBS2000 system. From my understanding I need to purchase SBS2003 license and get extra fulfillment media (floppy disk) so I can add them to the system. I bought the licenses from Dell and mentioned the fulfillment media. When the licenses arrived there was no extra media, the only thing I got was a piece of paper saying I have 5 more licenses. How can I add them to the system? I have call Dell 5 times (support,sales etc) and NO ONE knows anything about this special fulfillment media. This has been very frustrating and I don't see a solution. Can I get this media from a different vendor? Am I asking for the wrong thing? Can I add the licenses without this extra media? (when I put in my original license floppies it says its already been used) Any help would be appreciated..... Tag: Cannot get DHCP address via VPN Tag: 171501

    - Dynamic IP and SBS 2000/Echange Hi everyone, A friend of mine is setting up a small company to use SBS 2000. Currently the only internet access available to them is either Cable (Non business class) or dialup. What I am wondering is how well Exchange, and ISA are going to work with a Dynamically assined IP from the ISP. The basic configuration is: Server running SBS2000, 3 NICs, Soho3 Firewall, 16 Port 3Com Super Stack, 5 Win2k workstations, with Office 2000. Because of the remote location, the Cable provider has no "business class" services, just straight "end user" services. The Dialup ISP does offer business class, but at a unreasonable cost. I have already checked, and yes, the ports used by SBS are wide open from the cable company, it is not going to block the use of the ports, but I am wondering how it will work to try and sign a Domain dynamically. Is it even possible to configure he new domain that way? The Soho with assign internal Static IPs, but the router/Cable modem will be assigned a dynamic. Any thought or suggestions on this would be appreciated. Chuck Tag: Cannot get DHCP address via VPN Tag: 171436

    - ASP application Hi SBS2000 all latest patches. XP Pro SP2 & IE6 all latest patches. A customer has a guy writing a .Net application to run on their Intranet. One of the functions of this app is to send a print to a local workstation LPT1 port. (Workstations are XP Pro SP2 with admin rights). He has tried running this on his own W2k server running on a laptop & it works. Trying it on a workstaion attached to the server does not work & he assumes that something is blocking either his .Net app or possibly Windows Scripting Host. He also blamed our ISA server which I have advice that the Intranet does not use ISA. Each workstation runs McAfee Enterprise v8.0i patch 10 & we have tried disabling that. Also we have tried disabling The workstation ISA Firewall & also the IE proxy settings. We also tried running the app on an old XP Pro workstation without SP2. Wscript.exe has been run on the server. Please can anyone suggest if some security setting could be blocking this? Regards Nick Tag: Cannot get DHCP address via VPN Tag: 171433

I am getting warning and informational messages that I do not understand. Could someone please tell me what is going on or point me in the right direction to find out more. My SNTP settings and sample event log entries are shown at the message end. I had to reset the NTP server list when a previous NTP server went off the air. I believe the problem started around then. I turne don the informational events after I started getting the warnings. 1) Why do I get a warning that the NTP server did not respond almost immediately followed by informational messages saying it did? 2) Is the high skew rate a sign that my hardware clock is getting off or does it mean something else? 3) I noticed that event ID 11 does not show a server name. There are two adjacent spaces. I believe the underlying windows return message has a server name. Could this be a sign that my server list is honked up? If so, how do I fix it?

At one of my SBS sites, a VPN client always gets a 169.254.x.x address
instead of a DHCP assigned address from the SBS Server. The server is set
up with a 130.50.20.x address and is using DHCP like many of my other sites.
I have re-ran ICW and then used ISA management to "configure a client
virtual private network".
What am I missing ???

130.50.20.x is a real world ip. Best practice and a standard SBS uses
a private ip like 192.168.x.x. If you have only one nic then you
should get a router in the mix to increase your security. All of my
SBS with ISA have two nics. See www.smallbizserver.net for some
network diagrams.

Ta for the reply Jim, but the server has two NICS. The internal 130.50.x.x
IP is to tie in with existing unix boxes. Everything works fine other than
the dynamic IP assignment to VPN clients. Cheers anyway, Gary.
