    - << I have a question?>> A fellow MVP who runs usergroups said that his community just doesn't find value in newsgroups. That you have to filter out a lot of gunk,etc. Just got me to thinking about the time a couple of years back that Jeff Middleton asked "How can we do better?" in the Newsgroups. We haven't done that in a long time... So.... without further ado....I'm asking "How can we [all] do better?" Suggestions? Recommendations? Things that can be done better? Recommendations to take back to Microsoft? Remember, that it's my belief that all of us out here that have the BTDT credentials are higher than any other credential holder, MVP tag line, you name it.

    - Back-up am endeavouring to complete a new back-up with no success. I am backing up to a 4mm DDS tape which was not formatted at insertion but was formatted by the Server on request. It has no media on it at the present time so this is like an initial back-up. I feel that I am following all the Instructions and have read all the information in "Help" about Back-ups but at the end I receive this message:- "There is no media with this selected type. Add Unused media or click cancel to select another type. It may take up to 60 Seconds for Removable Storage to recognise new media." Initially I was receiving a message which read "add 4mm DDS media to the free storage pool or to Media Pool "\Remote Storage|4 mm DDS" but I appear to have got over that problem. I am obviously missing some point!!! Peter. . Tag: Demand-Dial Routing through VPN (PPTP) Tag: 161430

The client has approx 30 PCs, one SBS 2000 server and two Windows 2000 Servers If possible we do not want to change the domain name, ideally switch off old server, install and switch on new server with no changes to existing W2K servers or clients.

    - Hi to all you folks As the subject says, firt I wanna to send greeting to all of the participiants of this group. We are the firm situated in Dubrovnik, Croatia which has recently purchased a Windows 2003 SMB Server Premium edition (Academic Release). We moved from our email pop account to excange and establish local domain. Could you people help me with this stuffs: 1) How can I register a SMB with MS to get a tech support.? 2) How can I install ISA firewall clients on the machines? 3) How can I encrease manage security log setting for each workstation in domain? 4) How can I manage synchronization setting (eg. some of our laptop workstations are for some reason going in offline mode?) MS software are well documented, and there are lot of stuff on groups, net but I want to hear what are the best practice to manage first two or three basics steps to configure SMB to work correctly (e.g. http://companyweb are not working-> says bad request) Also I must point that I (as possible administrator of SMB 2003) did not installed it, it has be done by the company who sold us a Fujitsu-Siemens server, and they have not finished all the work. Thanky you in advance.. Tag: Demand-Dial Routing through VPN (PPTP) Tag: 161398

    - SBS2003 wont start - recovery help please Hi everyone I have a system running Windows SBS2003.. its on a RAID5 array which had some failures and caused some system corruptions as a result. I have repaired the array but SBS2003 wont start. Basically it was saying that it is missing system32\config\system - so I went into the recovery console and copied the system.sav file to system.. unfortunately the system.sav file is from when it was first installed. There is no Emergency Repair Disk or Automated Recovery Disk available. There are tape backups of SYSTEM STATE available. I have confirmed the data is still okay on the array? Whats the best way to recover this system? Would putting in a temporary drive, doing a SBS2003 install on that temp drive, then restoring system state from tape, and then copying the necessary files back to the original sbs2003 installation fix this?

    - VPN from Draytek Vigor 2900 - remote client can't ping local LAN Hi all, Hopefully we're missing something simple and someone can point us in the right direction. Central Office: SBS2000 - set-up as noted below: Cable Modem Broadband Router - passthrough for PPTP VPN enabled [int - 192.168.42.10] External NIC on SBS [192.168.42.2] ISA 2000 Internal NIC on SBS [172.16.0.1] LAN [172.16.0.x] Remote Office: ADSL Broadband Router - Draytek Vigor 2900Gi [int - 192.168.45.150] PC - fixed IP - 192.168.45.160 As those who are familiar with the Vigor range will know, the Draytek kit can initiate a VPN call [it can also act as a VPN Server if required]. We can initiate a full-time VPN connection from the Vigor to our SBS box across the Internet no problem but the remote PC cannot ping anything on the LAN IP range. This is kinda critical from a testing perspective as the crux of this is to eventually implement an IP hardphone within the Remote office, connecting to the VoIP-enabled telephone system on the LAN at the Central office. We're sure this has to be a fairly basic routing issue and that we should be able to add a route somehow to 'force' the VPN traffic back to the remote LAN. Problem is we can't for the life of us work out what to do! Anyone got any pointers? Cheers, David Tag: Demand-Dial Routing through VPN (PPTP) Tag: 161382

    - Remote Desktop Does anyone know of a good remote desktop client than can do the following: What we are looking for is something where someone on out WAN can goto a webpage, and request a chat. From there they can tell us what their problem is, and then if needed, we can take control of there system from the inthernet through Port 80. If anyone can point me in the rigth direction on this, I would appreciate it! Keith MMS IT Department ksylvester@funddrive.com Tag: Demand-Dial Routing through VPN (PPTP) Tag: 161376

    - Site Bandwidth Managemnt Hello All, We have an SBS2k that has four satellites connected via VPN as well as RAS users. The satellite offices are connected via router to our SBS VPN with each site using a different class C private subnet. My question, are there settings on SBS that I need to adjust so that the system can determine that if a traffic has to go to a satellite site subnet, that it will adjust accordingly? I've read about replication on AD and Exchange and using sites to control traffic, but since we're using SBS, we don't have multiple servers. I'm just trying to figure out if we need to make adjustments to the SBS to make it process traffic more efficiently. Second part of my question is: should the subnets from the satellite offices be included in the LAT of ISA? Thank you all for your comments.

    - account lockout issues... I have a couple of question regarding the account lockout policy. 1) I had originally set a local policy on our Win2K terminal server such that 3 invalid logon attempts would cause an account lockout. Later on, I had applied a domain wide policy (on our SBS 2000 server) that set it to 5 invalid attempts. I assumed the domain policy would override any local policy but it doesn't seem to. If a user logs on 3 times with an incorrect password, it will still lock them out! Also becuase we have been having problems with users being locked out, I decided to completely eliminate the lock out. So , I disabled account lockouts in both the domain policy on the SBS 200 server and the local policy on the win2K terminal server. I am still getting accounts locking out after 3 invalid attempts. What gives? Can anyone help me? 2) Also, maybe I need a lesson on what can cause a lockout... We have a user who brings in his home laptop to copy drawings off our server so he can work from home. I configured his laptop so that he has the same drive mappings he has on his work machine. Two drive mappings point to shares on our win2K server that is part of our domain. The other mapping points to a share that is on an older NT 4 server - which is NOT part of the domain. When he logs onto his laptop, he is logging on locally - not as part of the domain. (It's winxp home edition). When I set up his shares, I configured the appropriate domain\username and password so it would connect. For the NT 4 share which is part of a workgroup (not in our domain) I configured his username and password excluding the domain. The problem is, as soon as he logs on and double clicks one of his mapped drives, it asks for his password and when he enters that, it says it has locked him out!!! Why would the account be locking out when I have specified the domain/username and passwords to use for the drive mappings? There is only two drive mappings that use his domain username/password. If the lockout was set to 3 invalid attempts, why is it locking out when there are only two mappings ??? I am obviously missing something here...

    - VPN client dials in and the office network neighbourhood goes blank Hi, We have an SBS2000 server setup, running file, print, exchange, ISA and VPN. We have 1 user who works half his time from home and uses VPN to log into the office network for email download from exchange and file browsing hte network. This works files for the client and office users, except for one small problem. When the user VPN's in to the office, the network neighbourhood here does not show any local computers. They are still accessible just not visible. Can anyone help point me in hte right direction. The SBS2000 box does DHCP. All clients are XPPro or 2k. Network using TCP/IP only. One other thing, the remote user's laptop is not on the domain.. His username and password are the same on the domain + laptop so his login works fine.

    - Using Ghost Hi all I have succumbed to the fact that my C drive is going to run out of space sooner or later and I need to move it to a new drive. My current setup is 3 x 36gb scsi disks 1st disk 8gb C drive system files and 28gb D drive program files and exchange logs 2nd disk 33.91gb user data 3rd disk 33.91gb exchange info store I want to move the 1st disk to a new 36gb disk so I can expand the C drive to 20gb? so I need to ghost the C drive and move it. I would also like to keep the D drive on the 1st disk with the remaining space so I would probably need to ghost that too. How would I do this? Would I have to stop any services while I ghost the original drive? Do I then swap the disks and image the new disk? So many questions from a nervous IT bod!

    - Terminal Services Manager Hi I am using terminal services to connect clients remotely. When they disconnect it still shows the processes that they are using. When they log in again it allows them to connect but creates a different connection. Therefore on the screen in the terminal services manager appears a user name saying connected and the same username saying disconnected (from the previous log out). So I have to right click on the user name saying disconnected and click 'Reset'. Then the processes and their name disappears. Do I always have to reset their last log out?

    - Outbound Mail Hi everyone, I just installed a 2003 small business server - including running the internet & email wizard - but I cannot send mail for some reason. I've tried using both DNS and a smarthost to route mail. I've tried my comcast email server (my ISP) and the mail server where I have email accounts because they host a website for me. Nothing seems to get mail out. Initially, I found files in the BadMail folder. I deleted those and tinkered with the SMTP connector some more. I'm not getting anything in the BadMail folder, but mail apparently is going nowhere. I see the message quickly leave the Outbox and I don't get any undeliverable messages. Where is the mail going? Where can I look for it? Any help would be appreciatied. Frank Tag: Demand-Dial Routing through VPN (PPTP) Tag: 161329

Apparently all she has to do in Outlook (2002) is go to Open/Other users folder, put in the name, and voila! she can see their mailbox! Now why should this be? No-one has given permission to anyone else, so I'm assuming wrong/modified Group relationships. So just what are the default group memberships for ordinary and power users?

    - Replacing an old employees rights with a new employee username... We have a situation where our executive secretary has left the company and is being replaced by a new person within a week. Sse has access to many folders within the domain etc.. and some are pretty specific (as opposed to simply group access rights). We have a win2000 SBS server where her profile exists in our domain. We also have an NT 4.0 server (not in the domain). She has a profile on this machine as well with a lot of "file specific" rights to stuff on that particular server. Is there any easy way to convert all of her security rights over to the new user or do you basically have to go through everything and try to find all the instances where she is on the security list and replace herusername with the new username?

    - Re-Post - Thoughts, Anyone??????? All, About year and half back, I brought a "white box" server from TigerDirect.com - Visioneer. A day passed the hardware warranty, one of the cpu's died. After some arguing with the saleperson and vision's tech support, they sent me a new cpu, and heatsink. During the install, the motherboard died. After I changed out all that, I had the server back up but then one of the stick of RAM wouldn't work with the new motherboard. Needless to say, I am buying a new server for my office. For my client's, I have only using DELL. PowerEdge 700's to be exact (had no problems and Dell's server support been great so far). What I would like to know from you all, is what approach would you take to replace one server with a completely new one. My thought is that I would rebuilt it with the same name, setup as the old server, shutdown the old server, replace with new server and do a restore of the new server from backup (I back up to an external usb pot harddrive). Old server config: Dual P3 1Ghz processors, two 80 gb hdd's in a software raid 1 mirror (Fastrack promise controller embedded), 1ghz RAM PC-133. New Server: Dell PowerEdge 700, P4 2.8 - 3.2 Processor, two scsi 73.4 HDD's, Raid 1 mirror - Hardware controller - PERC ???, 1 ghz RAM DDR400 Since the two server's hardware congfiguration is so different, I am not comfortable with the restore from backup. But If I did a restore, would I most like just have to install disk one do a repair of the install to add scsi driver, etc..... How would you guys go about this?

I would install the software on another machine, but I don't have any other dedicated workstations that could handle this type of service. Any suggestions or recommendations or if anyone has ever installed this software on a SBS 2000 box, what were the results? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Tag: Demand-Dial Routing through VPN (PPTP) Tag: 161206

We have an existing SBS server connected to internet with ADSL Router (on a
second NIC) and static address.
I'm trying to setup a new server (Windows Server 2003 ) that will connect to
the internet through a DSL router (ISDN router for the moment) with a static
address. This new server will connect to the existing server with
Demand-Dial Routing through VPN (PPTP).

Using "Connecting a Remote Office to a Small Business Server 2000 Network"
white paper I managed to connect the two servers but the connection fails
when it's initiated by the remote office server with the following message:
"An error occured during connection of the interface. No more connections
can be made to this remote computer at this time because there are already
as many connections as the computer can accept ".

When the connection is initiated by the SBS server it works fine. What could
be the cause of this?

The SBS server was recently upgraded (migration) from 2000 to 2003 premium
but the white paper whould still apply... correct?

Thank you,

Nikos
