    - Put Server WAN on Public IP Address? I'm considering putting the server's WAN NIC onto the public IP address we heve registered. I'm concerned though, that this will allow hackers into the server. We are using Excange SMTP mail and are running 2-3 VPN connections into the office. Can anyone give their opinions on whether it's wise to put the server on the 'net or is it best to add an appliance (like SonicWall or another firewall) in front of the server? Thanks for your comments. -- Michael Rudnick news@RCC-pcSupport.com Tag: Clean Log Files on SBS2K Tag: 152555

    - ADSL Router for SBS2k Hi all, Just looking for any recommendations for a requirement we have: SBS2k - configured with 2 x NIC - ADSL on external NIC - Router and Modem presently We're having some issues which we suspect are the Router and are investigating alternatives. Requirements are noted below: 1] Either a Router/Modem combination or Router with in-built connection to ADLS line 2] Router must have capability for VPN termination on-board [we have demo equipment on the external side of our SBS box that needs to be available for demo to non-domain users] - therefore these users will VPN onto the Broadband Router to access the demo kit 3] Remote LAN users will set-up a primary VPN to the Broadband Router with a secondary VPN tunnel through this primary VPN and onto the SBS box's external NIC If anyone has implemented such a solution or could recommend either a Router/Modem or Router with ADSL connection on-board, this would be appreciated.

    - AD You do not have permission to change password Error I receive this error when users log on: You do not have permission to change your password. I've followed the instructions below: However, users who choose not to change their passwords when the Password Change Notification message appears (by clicking No) are logged on with their old passwords and then can change their passwords. This system behavior occurs when the Everyone group hasn't been granted the Change Password right on the user object. Users can't change their passwords over the null session connection (anonymous logon relies on the Everyone group to carry out this action) established between the workstation and a domain controller. Instead, an authenticated session is required to change a password (i.e., users must be logged on to change their passwords).To change the permissions setting for the Everyone group, take the following steps: 1. Start the AD Users and Computers snap-in (Start, Programs, Administrative Tools, Active Directory Users and Computers). 2. Select the View menu and enable Advanced Features. 3. Right-click the container hosting the user object to which you want to grant the Change Password right (e.g., Users), then click Properties. 4. Select the Security tab. Ensure that the Everyone group is listed in the Name box. If it isn't, click Advanced, then add the Everyone group to the list from the Advanced Access Control Settings dialog box. If the Everyone group is listed, click Advanced. 5. Click the Everyone group in the list, then click View/Edit to edit the group's permissions. In the Apply Onto box, click User Objects. In the Permissions section, select the Allow check box for "Change Password." 6. Click OK to accept the changes. However users still can't change passwords...Anyone know what I could be missing?

    - SMTP Relay problems I have an application on each workstation that needs to send SMTP Email. I thought that I would be able to just enter the name of the SBS Server as the SMTP Server. What is happening is that any message that is addressed outside of the SBS Domain is just lost. I donot recieve any error messages, the message just never arrives. I have also tested this using outlook express on both a workstation and on the server. OE works properly on the server, but the test messages get lost when there sent from the workstation Tag: Clean Log Files on SBS2K Tag: 152515

    - SBS 2003 OWA Calendar not working I have recently set up a new SBS 2003 server behind a firewall and have configured port forwarding to enable access to Outlook Web Access from the Internet. Users are able to connect and log in OK and get to their mailbox, and the Basic version works fine. But the premium version calendar does not work at all, we are just getting a "View Updating" hourglass which never times out or gives an error message. This does not happen if we access OWA from the browser on the server itself on a Remote Desktop Session but still does not work if we connect via VPN to the Server directly, rather than through port forwarding. Either there is some problem with the firewall, I have not enabled enough ports or there is something on the client Machines (Windows XP Pro running Outlook 2000) that is stopping it working. I am really hoping that someone has a solution for this as we were hoping to use OWA at remote sites to avoid the complexity of setting up VPN and direct client connections. Any ideas appreciated.

    - SBS2003-Messed up profile copy G'day, I was called in to help fix a blown SBS2003 Installation. As the 4th person called in, they have allready really messed things up. Somebody set them up with a home gateway router and only one NIC in the server and who knows how they answered the install wizatrd. They tried to join the PC's to the domain but didn't realize what a computer name is or what a user is. Quite a mess since they did this same abortive domain join on 4 of 5 clients. I have added a second NIC and re-run server setup. Joined the one pc they didn't screw up. I absolutely love the new profile copy routine! It is just fantastic and something sorely missed in SBS2000. Anyhow, on the "bad" clients, the profile copy routing "never ran" according to the user. I do see where 2 temporary and sparcely populated profiles with __sbs__ type names were created on each of these PC's. When I try to re-run the web-based profile copy routine it will not let me, says the profile permissions must be changed to allow access. I open up all permissions on the old profile and am logged in as administrator, no help. I am thinking of disjoing the domain (go back to workgroup) and re-joing to re-invoke the process? Anyone suggestions? Tag: Clean Log Files on SBS2K Tag: 152471

    - Help - 2nd server (Terminal Server) behind ISA and NAT I have configured a second server, which is to act as a Terminal Server, on my SBS2000 network. I am running ISA and NAT on the SBS2000 DC. I have a block of 4 public IPs from my ISP, but I am sort of confused on how to access the server from the outside if it has a private 10.10.10.x static IP address to access the SBS network. The only WAN side IP is the one on the WAN SBS2000 server. How would users be able to hit the Terminal Server? I am so confused. I have been researching everywhere and getting nowhere quick. Is there a way to publish another public IP address to the WAN side of the SBS2000 server, then route it through ISA to the Terminal Server, so the remote users can hit it? Any help or direction would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks Justin Tag: Clean Log Files on SBS2K Tag: 152400

    - Exchange, Virtual Memory, too much RAM? Event ID 9582 Hello, We're running Small Business Server 2000, and (I think) Exchange service pack 3. In November I increased the RAM on the server from 512MB to 2.5GB. A week after I did this I realized that the paging file needed to be manually increased. I chose to move the paging file off of the C drive onto another partition. About six weeks later we started getting warning messages in the Application log: Event ID 9582, MSExchangeIS The virtual memory necessary to run your Exchange server is fragmented in such a way that performance may be affected. It is highly recommended that you restart all Exchange services to correct this issue. That seemed simple enough, so I rebooted and the messages went away. Now they're back. I'm getting Event ID 9582 warnings every hour, and two Event ID 9582 errors on Saturday and one today. I've been poking around MS website, and have just started monitoring MSExchangeIS VM Largest Block Size. I've also read something about antivirus programs competing with Exchange over memory, which results in memory fragmentation. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Do we have too much RAM?

    - Port Scans I understand bored teenagers sitting in their rooms running port scans because they have nothing better to do, (well, I don't understand it so much as know it happens) but in the last 2 weeks I have had 3 port scans come from MSN. The first one appeared to come from MSN.com, but I never looked up the IP owner. (DNS said it belonged to MSN.com) Today I have another one, but the IP doesn't resolve to a name. If I pop the IP into a browser it takes me to an ESPN/MSN page. If I do a lookup on the owner of the IP address, it comes up as Disney. I've never had port scans from commercial sites logged before this year. Is anybody else noticing this behavior? Is this some form of an actual 'attacker' hiding behind common IP's? Thanks.

    - 550 5.7.1.1 Relay Errors I have been using Aureate Group Mail on a couple computers to send out newsletters to members and it has been working great until about a month ago. I started getting "can't relay for ********@******.***" errors. We are running a SBS2000 server with Exchange 2000. The program is set to SMTP authentication required when sending. I entered the IP address of both computers into the SMTP virtual server to allow them to relay. That worked for a couple times and then it started happening again. This time I just shut the computers down and let them sit for about 10 minutes, started them back up and then they sent without errors. Now I am having the same problem again and nothing is working. I even installed a different Group mail program and that gets the same error. Is there a setting on the server that I can set to allow them to send? Thank you in advance.

    - Access Database to SQL All, I have a client where we have a SBS 2000 server with a second w2k server in Terminal Service Application mode. It is on this second server where we have our MS Access database applications and data. Our in-house and remote user access these applications/data using Terminal Services. I was wondering, since our databases are starting to get larger, and the backup procedure is NTBackup to the SBS 2000 server, would it be an improvement if I started up SQL server on the SBS 2000 box and convert my Access data files to SQL databases? I'd still use the Access forms as a front-end to the SQL server database (maybe move to VB in the future). We have roughly 12 users at a time accessing the data from the same Access application. This is a very low transaction environment. Each user might add 5 - 10 transactions a day. Not much. So, would it be a improvement using SQL for the data or would I just be opening up a can of worms? How are other folks running large database applications? I'm interested in improving the stability of our Access data and hoping to also improve the backup procedures. Thank you, Thomas J.

Could you be more specific about the particular log files you have in mind?
There are different types of log files, some of which are essential to the
operation of the OS itself, perhaps a server application like Exchange or
SQL, and others are Event Logs that normally shouldn't be cleaned. Other
logs are for auditing and can be cleaned up individually if they are a
concern. In most cases, the log files on the server can be set to
"self-regulate" size or age of files retained.
