Dynamic DNS.
Hello all,
Would someone assit in a step-by-step dynamic dns configuration? I have
made a valid attempt to "read" before asking; however, I am do not know what
I should point to where?
My setup is as follows:
SBS2000, 2 Nic, Dynamic IP from ISP (ADSL), Router (NetGear FVS318), and
public domain hosted at 3rd party (for ".com" business e-mail).
As far as I know, dynamic DNS requires me to point my public domain to the
Dynamic DNS Servers, but won't that cause trouble with my parked/hosted
e-mail?

Print Subsystem is unavailable
Hi all!
Server -> SBS 2000 SP 4.
Clients -> Windows 2000 Professiona
On friday, the users had problems printing. They printed
documents, but the documents were not printed.
As I was not on the enterprise, I told a person to go to
the server and to see if the printers exists.
After opening the Printers folder ( on the server ), there
were none printer installed. The only thing he coulded see
was the "Add Printer".
I told him to click on "Add Printer" to see what happens.
After he clicks, there appears an error message saying:
-------------------------------------------------------
Printer operation cannot continue due to lack of
resources. The print subsystem is unavailable.
-------------------------------------------------------
As everyone was very stressed to print, I told him to
restart the server.
I was looking on the event log, but didn't find anything
on this.
Maybe the Print Spooler Service has stopped and on the
restart it started automatically...
I would like to resolve this problem. If you have any
ideas/suggestions I would be very appreciated.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best regards,
Joaquim. Tag: Isa and Cisco Tag: 134183
Active Directory Printer
I have a printer listed in Active directory which I want
to install on a client workstation. From the client
workstation I logon as admin and successfully install the
printer by searching AD. I then logoff Admin and logon as
a "domain user" account. The recently installed printer
does not show in my list of printers.
I checked the security settings for the printer and the
group "Everyone" has print permissions for this printer.
How can I install this printer once and allow all users to
access it?

recovery information for SBS
Hi,
Is there any information about precautions to take before having to make
changes to SBS components.
Apart from taking a copy of the Emergency repair disk and a backup of the
system state, are there any quickfire ways to make a quick copy of all the
SBS system configuration and settings, so if you make configuration changes
Windows 2000(on DHCP/DNS etc..) , Exchange 2000 etc... that you can go back
to the settings before the configuration changes, if they don't work out. Or
is it really a case of resoring from backup tape the system directory and
progem files and programs.
Any info on this would be much appreciated.

ISA: Major problems
Oh well.. maybe VPn is the least of my worries this weekend... :-(
ISA Manager is failing to start and so are a load of other things. Here are
the error messages. I can't see what's broken:
System Log:
7023: ISA Server Control Service terminated with the following error: %%615
7023: ISA Server Control Service terminated with the following error: 278540
7024: Firewall service terminated with the following specific error: 213004

7031: Telephony service terminated unexpectedly. This has happened 1 times.
No action taken
7031: SNMP service terminated unexpectedly.

call RasConnectionNotification failed. Use source location
201.1534.3.0.1200.235 to report the failure
FTPCtrs event 1000: Unable to collect statistics
ISA server detected a change in the IP routing table.
Then loads of 14044: ISA server is dropping IP packets.
14071: Firewall did not start because application filter SOCKSv4 did not
start in time. Reinstall filter.
14192: ISA Servr control service failed to start because operating system
service Routing and Remote Access is already running. To fix use ISA setup
and reinstall ISA.
Phew! All this suggests to me is that there's a problem with ISA somewhere.
I'd run HfNetCHk and updated all the patches before this happened. One
reboot and.... wham.
I'm lost and netless at the office. Anything to help me here would be
appreciated. I suspect a lot of this is linked: fix ISA and the rest will go
away..

My batch file is configured as follows:

ADSL Problems... more info
As part of trying to solve an ADSL problem in a previous post the following
info may assist.
As the ADSL connection will not work I also have two dial up connections
configured:
Connection one is for the same ISP that provides the ADSL connection I am
having problems with
Connection two is for a totally different ISP
When I dial up using connection two I can do everything, browse, news etc
etc
When I dial up using connection one, I can only access the ISP's home page.
I am unable to access www.google.com, www.microsoft.com etc. When I try to
access www.google.com it then tries www.www.google.com then
www.google.com.edu etc etc as it tries all the different domains finally it
tries to access auto.search.msn.com without success.
To me this appears to be a DNS issue however I know this is not an ISP issue
as it's been a problem for the last week.
Any ideas ? Tag: Isa and Cisco Tag: 134115
VPN Problems.. still!
I'm really stuck here and I'd appreciate any more help that you can give.
I've been able to make *some* progress but I'm still unable to VPN into the
server from the outside world. I have a 2 NIC SBS2k connected to a Cisco
router which connects by 128k ISDN to the outside world. My UK ISP is Demon
who was turned off ICMP due to the viruses atm. I have tried so many things
and I'm sure this is something really simple. However, my brain is full of
troubleshooting this mess and I'm stuck as to where to go. This is where I
need the guidance still :-)
Internal NIC is 10.0.0.2, External is 192.168.1.2, Router (internal side)
192.168.1.1, Router (External side) A.B.C.D
Here's where I am now:
1) Have configured RRAS to allow VPN as per smallbizserver.net article.
2) Can successfully establish VPN from inside the network to server.
3) Receive no response to PING nor VPN from the outside world when trying to
reach A.B.C.D from remote machine
4) Have disconnected external NIC from router and connected to XP Pro
laptop. VPN from laptop *not* successful when trying to connect to
192.168.1.2
5) Have not tried (4) trying to reach 10.0.0.2
6) Not sure how to test pass-through on router.
7) There are two static routes set up on router:
ip nat inside source static tcp 10.0.0.2 1723 A.B.C.D 1723 extendable
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.1.2 1723 A.B.C.D 1723
extendable
8) ISA filter set up for tcp 1723 both ways
9) ISA PPTP call and receive filters in place and active.
I'd appreciate some help on what to try next..

SBS 2000 Disaster Recovery
Well it finally happened. System has gone TU. This
appears to be associated with Veritas BE so not sure I
trust the backups. Had a couple of failed backups and
then it wouldn't startup. System is twin Plll with Raid
using 120Gb HD for Veritas backup.
Can boot into Safe Mode and can copy whatever files I
need. Most important I guess is AD and Exchange. Question
is can I copy relevant parts of the file system to
another disk, reinstall SBS and then copy back the copies?
Have copy of the Public folders saved to pst about a week
ago and users sync so I could just start from scratch but
seems a shame if I can get into Safe mode.
Any help/advice greatly appreciated
