    - Terminal Services Session hanging W2K TS with SBS2K. . The servers have been up and running for about 3 weeks and everything has been working just fine but the following has happened a few times for the first time in the last 3 days. When a user is logged into a TS session and has Outlook open and is trying to do some other work normally in Office, the whole session just hangs and have to wait about 5 to 10 minutes to be able to close all applications and then log off. When the user has closed all applications and logged off and then logs on again, evrything seems to work again. I have got Office XP SP1 installed on the TS. There is no specific time of day when the sessions have hung so am at a bit of a loss as to what could be the problem. Thanks in advance Regards Antony Tag: SBS CAL Compatibility Tag: 152746

    - Low Memory on SBS2K When I open the SBS Admin Console and look at the memory counter under Server status, the percentage free memory has been dropping down to about 4 or 5 % at certain times of the day, which works out at about 40 to 50 MB free memory (Have 1 GB of RAM) ? Is there some process that is using a lot of memory ? It has been recommended to me to put more RAM into the server but I have been following the message thread a few days ago about Exchange errors / memory fragmentation, when you put more then 1 GB of RAM in the SBS2K server ? The Paging file is set to 1.5 GB. Should I increase this ? Any possible recommendations or is this low memory not a problem ? Thanks in advance. Regards Antony Tag: SBS CAL Compatibility Tag: 152745

    - OWA page cannot be displayed I have a SBS2k box with windows 2000 clients internally and externally. I have had no real problems to date with OWA until now. All of our external staff can access OWA and browse through their inbox but as soon as they try to open one of the e-mails it comes up with "Page cannot be displayed" in a new window. It is doing it to all of our remote clients now and im struggling to see what is the cause of the issue. Just to add to the issue, all the mails that cannot be opened in the users OWA can be opened internally with Outlook. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    - Problem opening another users mailbox, Please Help I have an odd problem heres what has happened. 1. Created a user and a mailbox. (SBS 2000) 2. Logged in as that user opened outlook and assigned 3 users as delegates with full permissions. 3. Went to a delegate computer and in the advanced tab (Outlook XP) added the user that was created as a mailbox to be opened when Out look opens. 4. When opening Outlook on the client computer, It comes up in the list but when clicking on the users mailbox I get the message.."Unable to display the folder. Microsoft Outlook could not access the specified folder location. The operation failed" 5. If I go File-Open-Other Users mailbox, I can in fact view the mailbox. And see email in it and reply and so on. One thing I did do which may have had an impact was when I created the user and Mailbox, I made an error with the display name, and I removed the user and Mailbox, and recreated it with the only change being the display name. Have tried, Rebooting, Deleting and recreating again, deleting the client outlook profile and recreating it. I feel it must be in Exchange but am unsure what to do next. Any help would be appreciated. TIA Tag: SBS CAL Compatibility Tag: 152724

    - Can the SBS2000 POP3 Connector handle DomainPOP? Our company email is handled by DomainPOP - a global POP mailbox at our ISP. Until now we've used Chimera EFS to download mail from the ISP into Exchange 2000. This works very well, except the EFS utility keeps hanging at login to our ISP's mail server. Can't really complain since it's free! Can the SBS POP3 connector handle this type of mailbox or will I have to create a seperate mailbox at the ISP for each email address in our company, and then setup a corresponding entry in the POP3 connector? Unfortunately retrieving by SMTP is not an option as we are on a dialup connection. Many thanks in advance. Paul. Tag: SBS CAL Compatibility Tag: 152720

    - SBS transition to full Help! There is no info on how you upgrade from SBS to the full blown version. In particular do I have to kill my SBS server and then install the individual transition versions What I want to do is to have a separate SQL service and initially we want to disable SQL server on the SBS system and install SQL on one of my Windows 2000 clients. I've got a consultant implementing uSoft CRM who thinks the max data set for SBS is not big enough. Information on SBS is very hard to come by. Tag: SBS CAL Compatibility Tag: 152719

    - SBS2003 - POP3 Connector I am getting an event entry (Event ID 1052/Source:POP3 Connector) listed below. This is happening every 15 minutes as scheduled. In addition it is sending out the subject messages to people who have sent emails to one of the accounts on the server. I can stop it by shutting down POP3, but need to know how to find the offending messages to delete them. The Microsoft Connector for POP3 Mailboxes will reattempt delivery of message <id: {90824F3B-8433-4560-91FD-91923D9DB1FE}>. The message was processed previously by the connector but could not be routed to the correct recipient(s). If you continue to see this message, you should reinstall the Microsoft Connector for POP3 Mailboxes. To do so, run Small Business Server Setup again, and reinstall the Networking component.

    - What Server should I use? Help! Hello. I'm working for a small business which is moving, and I've been given the systems responsibility. We are keen to implement a server at the new site (we're currently peer- to-peer), but I have no idea what version to go for. Cost is a big issue. We will initially have seven users, most running Win2K but some will be XP pro. We need the server to hold databases, files and we'd like to instigate roaming profiles too. Data security will be extremely important. We will also have a 512k net connection, potentially with a VPN connection to another site (we're planning to get a VPN Router to deal with this). Any input would be great. Thanks very much. Tag: SBS CAL Compatibility Tag: 152707

    - Bott partition resizing or cloning Good afternoon This is slightly OT - can anyone advise me on a utility which will allow me to enlarge the boot partition on my SBS 2000 server or move the whole contents of Disk0 to a new drive and make it bootable? The default installation on my Dell Poweredge 1400 partitioned the 18GB SCSI drive as a small FAT partition (for Dell system utilities) a 4 GB drive C and a 132GB drive D (both NTFS). I am down to about 280MB on C: and no amount of housekeeping can get this above around 400MB. I have two other drives in the box (36 and 68GB) respectively and I thought that the least dangerous thing to do was clone disk0 to the 68GB drive, then swop the SCSI disk IDs. Partition Magic is the thing most people recommend for partition maintenance but this is a workstation product which won't run on servers. The server version (called Volume Manager) seems to be volume licensed at around $600 minimum. This is too much money for one-time use. I bought Paragon's Hard Disk Manager (which includes their Partition Manager 5.5) but I can't get this to work properly. I've tried emailing Paragon for technical support but this is a German product - the manuals and help stuff is poorly written (might be great in German FAIK) and the online support is similarly inadequate. The particular problem I have is that these partition managers can't work on the boot partition with open files so it has to reboot in its own OS (a kind of mock-DOS). When PM did this, it appeared to stall part way through even though there was loads of disk activity. I wondered whether I could use Ghost to clone the partitions from disk0 to disk1 and then use Partition Manager to resize the new partitiion (which won't be active so won't have the problem of open files). Anyway, I'd be grateful for advice from anyone who has actually succeeded in cloning a boot disk in this way. To be honest, I am not really interested in hearing from folk who haven't actually tried it and succeeded. Thanks Paul, UK Tag: SBS CAL Compatibility Tag: 152703

    - e-mail bouncing I'm having a problem with e-mails bouncing back from a sister company of a company that I have a SBS2000 system installed, other e-mails from other domains including my own seem to be fine. The e-mail domain on the SBS2000 is similar to @abc.co.uk and the sister company who are not running an SBS is similar to @xabc.co.uk. The sister company sends the e-mail via a POP account and after a couple of days they get a message saying postmaster@abc.co.uk could not deliver the e-mail. I have checked the e-mail logs on the Server and can not find any e-mails from the sister company. E-mails from the SBS2000 to the sister company are also working OK. Has any one seem anything similer and any idea's on how to resolve this problem ? Regards Mike Tag: SBS CAL Compatibility Tag: 152702

    - File Locking Hi We have a small file sharing network consisting of W98, W2k, XP and MAC work stations connected to a W2k server. Most of the time everything works fine but we keep getting file locking errors. You will try to delete a file from one machine and after it reports the file is in use on another machine, you find according to the server log it is, but on the machine itself, it's no longer in use. Last time it occured it appeared to be windows explorer that last accessed the file on an XP machine Has anyone got any clues ?? Many thanks Lavbear Tag: SBS CAL Compatibility Tag: 152696

    - Motherboard change We have SBS2000 with 2xSATA RAID drives It would seem that either one of the drives or the drive controller is faulty and causing the machine to crash If it's one of the drives, fine, they can simply be changed I take it by ghosting the original drives onto new ones However, if it proves to be the controller, the whole motherboard will have to be changed and this also has e embedded NIC's, 1 we use as the server NIC and the other for our broadband connection Is this going to cause me problems or will the SBS installation be able to be re-configured ok Anything specific I should/shouldn't do TIA Alan.

    - System takes forever to boot, Currenty stuck on 'applying computer settings' I am running SBS2000 SP3, I was in the process of upgrading to SP4 when the server crashed. The system now does not boot, it gets stuck at the 'applying computer settings' stage. I have rebooted into safe mode and reapplied SP3, this however has not resolved the problem I have succesfully rebooted the SBS2000 server in directory repair mode. The server is configured with 2 NIC's, Internal network and External (Internet). The internal is configure with no default gateway and the primary DNS is pointing at the internal network address. The external NIC is configured with the default gateway pointing at the router and the primary DNS pointing at the internal NIC address (as per microsoft documentation). I have checked the binding order, internal NIC followed by external NIC. However, I am unable to run the ICW (during directory repair mode). When I reboot the server it still hangs during the 'applying computer settings' phase. Its now 7:30am local time, I have been on site through the night ! The users are due to arrive at 8:30amm !

    - Problems w/ New SBS 2003 Premium install Hello out there, I hope someone out there might have some pointers for me ... I've recently installed SBS 2003 Premium on a P4 1.7GHz, 1GB RAM, 40GB HDD (mirror set) box. Runs great except two issues: sharepoint doesn't work (getting errors in the Event viewer) and I can't join client PCs to the domain using the http://myhostname/connectcomputer browser based utility. 1. During the initial install, it appears that the MSDE was installed (for Sharepoint and SBS Monitoring) for users that didn't end up purchasing Premium (which comes with SQL 2000). The installation of the MSDE had an instance name of Sharepoint. I went to install SQL 2000 and it detected that MSDE was running and asked if I wanted to upgrade. I followed the upgrade process... When I was done, SQL 2000 was installed but it still had an instance name of Sharepoint ( \myhostname\sharepoint). The only thing here was that for some reason, I couldn't get the SQL Service Manager app to connect and start, the SQL Agent wouldn't start and the Enterprise Manager acted erratic. I was able to back up the STS_Config and STS_Myhostname_1 databases. I uninstalled the "upgraded" SQL server and reinstalled fresh. I restored the two databases and placed the appropriate security rights back on them. Everything looks fine, but the sharepoint admin can't connect to the database, "companyweb" doesn't work, and I have errors in the Application event viewer which show up every 5 minutes saying "#50070: Unable to connect to the database STS_Config on myhostname\SharePoint. Check the database connection information and make sure that the database server is running." Basically, the applications are still looking for an database server with an instance name of Sharepoint. Where do I change the settings for this so the apps will stop looking for this instance name? 2. Here's the other funky error I'm getting. I can manually join a client Win2K PC to the domain but if I try to add domain users to security groups on this local Win2K client PC, I get error messages that the domain doesn't exist or can't be contacted. I did some research and found that I need to go through the Server Management app and click Client Computers, then click Set Up Client Computers. The wizard then says to go to the client PC and go to http://myhostname/connectcomputer to finish the setup. If I do this, an OCX control is loaded, and a wizard starts. If I enter a valid domain username and password (using the admin account here ...) I get an error message saying "The list of users and computers could not be found on the server. Make sure that the Small Business Server network adapters are configured correctly." What is the deal here? I'm at a total loss. There is TCP connectivity, I can ping the server, I can browse the local network and see the other computers (sitting in their default workgroup...). I know physical connectivity is not an issue here. My only guess is that after the installation of the SBS 2003 software, I removed the original NIC and added two new ones. Was the first, primary NIC designated as a special network adapter? Thanks for any help you can provide, I'm so frustrated plus Microsoft wants $245 for support (on a brand new product...) -Brian Tag: SBS CAL Compatibility Tag: 152632

I have had quite a bit of experiance with Software Update Services and are using it on a few of the networks I look after but I am having one network which is causing me grief.

None of the updates are being installed on the workstations.

    - XP, or Not XP....that is the question..... As noted here before, I have been trying to deploy an XP box on our SBS2K network with miserable success. When browsing network drives, the machine would just hang and hang. Sometimes browsing would be fast, other times the machine would actually go into the "not responding" mode. So I figure this new XP box is killing me and my network. Low and behold, I'm on the server yesterday trying to view some files and while navigating through directories suddenly I get the hourglass and have to stand and wait around a minute before my LOCAL drives and directories appear. What in blazes is going on here?! I'm at a record low as far as critical errors go in the event logs, all the patches ahve been applied (and I'm starting to suspect they may have been the culprit) and I', flat out at a loss to figure out why I'm having such huge delays in browsing. Before all the patches, the screens would pop as fast as I could double click, now there is at least a minimal wait on almost all machines. To the best of my knowledge, the DNS is fine, but if somebody cares to elaborate exactly what I should be looking at inthe DNS, I can double check it. Thanks. Tag: SBS CAL Compatibility Tag: 152620

Remote clients use Outlook 2000 in TS application mode on SBS2000 box and want to sync their Ipaq/Palm PDA - i'm sure this cant be done out of the box - any third party apps do this ?

    - VPN Access We have set up a VPN. Is it possible to allow a user that is coming in through the VPN to have access to a SMTP server out on the Internet and if so what is the best way to set this up. Thanks. Richard Tag: SBS CAL Compatibility Tag: 152602

    - SBS 2003 & Outlook Web Access Requirements Caution, I'm an Exchange/OWA newbie... I have just purchased SBS 2003 and am interested in setting up OWA 2003. Although I have looked pretty thoroughly, I can't find definitive information (let alone a "step-by-step" or "how to") on the requirements or procedures. Can someone point me in the right direction? I realize that I need to have another computer in the DMZ as the back end server but I am unclear on the following: -To run OWA 2003, do I need to buy another copy of Server and/or Exchange for the back end server? Do they need to be 2003? -Do I need to purchase IAS for the back end server? -If the answers to the above are yes, are the requirements for OWA 2000, less imposing (i.e., IIS vs IAS) From the marketing, it sure seemed that setting up OWA was going to be a piece of cake as long as one had a DMZ and an extra box lying around. Apparently there is more to it than that. Thanks in advance, Bruce Bruce Palmer, MCSA, MCSE New York, NY Tag: SBS CAL Compatibility Tag: 152595

    - W32time and opening port NDP port 123 I have had a problem with two domain controllers in our network no longer replicating as the time difference between the two became more then than 5 minutes. On the operations master (also acting as the PDC) i want to setup W32time to use an external time server (time.micorosoft.com). W32time logs NTP server not responding and ShieldsUp! reports 123 as being closed on our network. So I guess the port 123 is blocked by our ISA server. How can I open this port to send receive? TIA, Fred Blum Tag: SBS CAL Compatibility Tag: 152594

    - Email problem Hi, We are using SBS2000 with around 30 Windows 2000 Pro clients and around 2 WinXPP clients. Our Internet connection is Broadband via our ISP BTOpenworld. We send out emails via BTOpenworld's SMTP server. Furthermore, we pick up emails from a POP3 account at another ISP for our domain which is xxx.co.uk (example). BTOpenWorld have "Apparently" added our domain name 'xxx.co.uk' to their SMTP DNS server. The SBS's Domain is called: 'ABC' and the SBS machine name is called 'ABC-SBS'. Each user has a mailbox in Exchange, e.g. john@xxx.co.uk Problem: A user tried to send an email to a recipient and got an undeliverable (it is the correct email address!): -------------------------------------------- There was a SMTP communication problem with the recipient's email server. Please contact your system administrator. <abc-sbs.abc.local #5.5.0 smtp;554 <abc-sbs.abc.local>: Helo command rejected: Set a valid hostname> -------------------------------------------- Please can you tell me what the problem is? EMails to other recipeints are OK, but this particular recipeint is causing a problem by us getting undelierables with the message above. Any comments and suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks, skc Tag: SBS CAL Compatibility Tag: 152589

Hi,

Have SBS4.5, want to add some more CAL's. Are SBS200 or
SBS2003 CAL's backward compatible?

Were still with 4.5 due to some bespoke issues, so we
can't migrate for a while yet.

Regards,

George

Hello George,

SBS 2000 CAL's are indeed compatible with SBS 4.5, so I would recommend
ordering SBS 2000 client access licenses, and then using them on your SBS
4.5 server. SBS 2003 licensing is handled different (ie. no floppies) so
you should stick with SBS 2000 CAL's. :)
