    - Exchange Email forwarding I need to create a user in SBS2000 for the purpose of allowing an individual to receive e-mail through our company's domain (ie: user@example.com). I went through the create a new user wizard in SBS2000, but now I need to have all the e-mail that comes to that particular user forwarded to a different e-mail address (ie: user@yahoo.com). How do I accomplish this? Will this cause any problems in SBS2000? Is there anything else I need to be aware of when doing this? TIA for all your help!

    - Windows Installer Error in W2K3 I'm trying to add a TS Application Server to my SBS2000 network, using Windows 2003 Server SE. The setup of TS has gone fine - I've set up publishing and can access it from clients on the LAN and from the the internet. Great so far... Now I'm trying to install some software on the server. I'm using the white paper and have started off by trying to install the Office 2000 Resource Kit, before installing Office 2000. I go into Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs and select the setup.exe file in the OF2000RK folder and get this error message: The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode or Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assisitance. Obviously I've made sure that I'm not running in safe mode but I'm not sure what else to try. Thanks. Jon Tag: Deploying no microsoft software accross a network Tag: 144305

    - SBS 2000 and multiple service Problems Today a customer has had trouble getting there e-mail/isa working. In the services all the exchange services (except pop3 connector), ISA Server Control Manager, DHCP and DNS server all will not start. If I start them manually i get a report of the service did not start due to an invalid file. I have tried restoring the ad (system state), but this isnt working. I tired removing and adding both dns and dhcp, but they still wont run. the rpc says it is running, but some event logs seem to point to this bieng an error. I tried running the internet connection wizard for sbs,. but the ISA manager returns a fault too,.. I have set the nics in the correct binding/provider order, but still nothing.

    - SBS to Win2k AD forest Greetings, I wonder if anyone has a definitive answer to the following question. Perhaps it is daft, but I cannot find an answer anywhere. Does SBS 2k3 have the ability to connect to a full 2k AD Forest domain? The scenario I am attempting to address is to put a SBS2k3 server into a satellite branch connected via VPN to our forest root domain at HQ. Has anyone tried this? Are there issues? Thanks.

    - Outlook Install problems I'm having problems reinstalling Outlook 2002 on SBS2000 client machines. Background: I originally installed SBS2000 and setup the (WinXP Pro) clients and installed Outlook 2002 at that time. Had problems with the server and had to completely rebuild it. Temporarily rolled back the clients (but did not uninstall Outlook) in the meantime. Later when the server was rebuilt, I uninstalled Outlook from two clients and then ran the setup disk, but Outlook would not install even though it is listed in Add/Remove programs. Performing a Repair or Reinstall did not fix the problems. On the remaining clients I did not uninstall Outlook before rerunning the client setup disk and had no problems other than having to manually create the Outlook profiles. Have tried running the installation by manually connecting to the share on the SBServer and running setup and also from the CD. In both cases when I get to the page listing the programs to be installed Outlook has a red "X" next to it and is listed as "Unavailable". Does anyone have any ideas how I can get Outlook installed on these computers? Andy Nestor Tag: Deploying no microsoft software accross a network Tag: 144277

    - Remove Shut Down Removal from Laptop... TServer ONLY! Hello all, I have over the last two days been working to 'lock down' our new TServer using GroupPolicy. This is uncharted water for me and I could use some help. I disabled the shut down command and it is gone everywhere including on my laptop! I guess I need to somehow have this only apply to users that are NOT administrators and I am not sure how to do this. Also I suspect that I have mad either change to the default policy rather than creating a new one. I could use real simple directions on how to either make the default NOT apply to administrators OR how to set up a new policy and apply it appropriately. Thanks in advance for your help M P.S.

    - Active Directory problem! Hi, I have a Small Business Server 2000 with windows 2000 clients. The problem is that I have a Windows 2000 Server with active directory on it, to which is active as a BDC. For some reason last night the PDC and the BDC stopped talking and now I cant gain access to the BDC except for logging onto the Server itself. Is there anyway you can remove AD from the server? I have tried allsorts and I still haven't got anywhere. Every time I go to use the DCPROMO tool it disallows me to uninstall AD because it cannot communicate to the PDC (SBS2K box). I have looked all over the web with no joy. So if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated by me and the staff who work with me.

    - Backup dhcp server & SBS recovery This week had the misfortune to have two mirrored disks in a SBS2000 server fail thus rendering the server u/s. I had another W2K server configured as a domain controller to authenticate users however the main issue was that I didnt have a backup for the dhcp server so clients could not get the correct IP address allocation. Any ideas on how to set this up would be appreciated. For those who have not ventured down the SBS recovery route yet, I restored the server from tape using backup Exec 8.5 and the procedure listed on the veritas web site for manual recovery. I already had this to hand in my disaster recovery procedures. The only issue that was not listed was the SFN problem (again I was aware and had supporting documentation to hand) which I resolved by re-installing affected applications + patches. Only one day down time wasnt too bad! Tag: Deploying no microsoft software accross a network Tag: 144231

I also came across article 822158: Virus Scanning Recommendations on a Windows 2000 Domain Controller. I cannot find any recent references to this article in the newsgroup though.

Under the "Physical Locations" snap-in a Seagate STT3401A snap in has been created with sub snap-ins called "Media" and "Drives". The tape injects and ejects from the Seagate snap-in menu.

    - SBS 2000 Rebuild on New Hardware Hi, Can anyone point me to a document on how to completely re- install SBS onto new hardware. Specifically do I just do a full restore over the top or is there a way of doing a clean install, then restoring AD, File and their security and Exchange thereafter. I am not confident the previous install is very healthy so a clean with a restore over the top of the main data is preferred.

    - OWA, VPN and SP1a Morning people (your timezone may vary) I have 3 loosely connected questions so please forgive me if I bolt them together: a) I connect with my SBS2K system from home via VPN (ADSL at both ends and NAT at home). It works fine for long periods and then I get a disconnect. Often I can reconnect without problems but sporadically, the server refuses the connection. I can still connect via remote desktop but I can't see any error messages in the Event Viewer. No amount of messing around makes any difference apart from a) rebooting the server or b) waiting 24 hours or so. The problem is more likely to happen if I am connecting my laptop via a wireless connection into my home p2p network. Any thoughts on what's happening here and what I can do about it? b) I have OWA operating from SBS. I'm just using the regular ICW version. This works fine from the fixed PC (running XP Home) from home but I have loads of trouble getting through from anywhere else. This seems to be a security issue as the main problem is constant UIC/ password dialog boxes which do not go away when I enter valid credentials. I cannot get in when connecting: i) from a W2K workstation behind a client's ISA firewall; ii) from a workstation in a temporary internet cafe at a conference (connecting, I think to JANET over ISDN I guess); iii) from my laptop using my GPRS-enable mobile phone as a modem (Orange). Is there anything I can do about this? I have looked in the KB and implemented the standard advise from MS. c) Does anyone know how I can get my hands on the CD version of SP1a for SBS2000? This is available to US customers but not UK ones. The service pack files themselves I have downloaded but there are several utilities (including upgraded Outlook clients) which are not in the web distribution. Thanks for listening.

    - Spam, Exchange 200, SBS2003 Hi all, We have a problem. We have hundreds of email messages filling up the program files\exchsrvr\mailroot\vsi 1\badmail directory. We disconnected the SBS box from both the internet and the LAN at the same time, and it still happens. Shutting down the Exchange services stops it from happening. This implies that we have some kind of worm or script on the server itself. We have followed several KB articles regarding relaying and anonymous access to the virtual SMTP server, without success. Has anyone seen this before, or have some suggestions as to how to find and eliminate it ? Ian Welch Tag: Deploying no microsoft software accross a network Tag: 144100

    - SBS vs Server What exactly is the difference between Small Business Server and just regular server (2k or 2k3)? My boss got a free copy of SBS and is convinced that we now don't need to upgrade our exchange 2000 to a 2003 server with exchange 2003. We can just go to SBS 2003 with Exchange 2003 technologies...

    - Exchange Q's Hi all, got a couple of Exchange Q's. A client m/c with win xp Pro & Office XP Pro on it won't let me enable an account I have set up on the Exchange Server. I set up a mailbox for her & when I try to enable the account through outlook i get the Error " Unable to open your default mail folder. The attempt to log on to M/Soft Exchange has failed" It keeps asking for Username & password. I enter them correctly (already accepted to be logged onto SBS in the first place), but it keeps getting disregarded. Any ideas? Some of the workstations have a Personal Folder within Outlook - Is this necessary? I think the folders were created when i tried to import old messages form the users old O/E mail account. How do I erase this Personal Folder or even start the Outlook account from scratch? Help appreciated, Thanks In Advance, Gary Tag: Deploying no microsoft software accross a network Tag: 144088

    - Terminal Services and licensing Hello All, first time using this tool but I am really in a bind... We recently purchased a OEM version of Small Biz Server 2000 to put on a very inexpensive server that we purchased. We got it set up and installed around the end of August and now it is poping a message "Your terminal services temporary client licenses will expire in 15 days". Do we only get temporary licenses and we must purchase Terminal Services CAL's or did we not set up everything correcly? I suppose that our IT Manager would know the answer to this question but he is on a leave of absence in Asia. If anyone can assit me I would be much appreciated.... Sorry about the Spam E-mail address but you never know what marketing firms scan these newsgroups....... Sincerely, Marc Ryle Tag: Deploying no microsoft software accross a network Tag: 144076

    - Internet Access over VPN connection Hi all, I am trying to setup vpn access to a clients SBS2K so they can access it from home. I have VPN connection all working, they can use Outlook and browse the file system without problems albeit a little slow. I havent been able to get web browsing working as yet. The ISA server is returning an error that the URL is being denied which is not happening when they are on the LAN. Is there somewhere in ISA where I should be allowing internet access to VPN clients? The only work around I have is to get them to use the internet while not connected to the VPN, however I would prefer them to have access as if they were in the office. TIA, Ryan Tag: Deploying no microsoft software accross a network Tag: 144068

    - VPN with 1 NIC can it be done Can SBS 2k VPN be setup with 1 NIC? VPN access is limited to 3 users and never on at the same time. Is it required to have 2 NICS? Tag: Deploying no microsoft software accross a network Tag: 144059

    - SBS and other domain controllers We have a very small domain with one DC. We got SBS for Exchange right now, and maybe one or more features later. We hear that we have to demote the other DC before we can configure SBS into our domain as a domain controller. We can then promote the first DC BACK to being a DC. Can anyone shed light on this requirement? Thanks, jwkh Tag: Deploying no microsoft software accross a network Tag: 144057

    - What's wrong with my batch file for ntbackup? /um switch I am trying to run a backup job using a .cmd file per Microsoft's suggestion for an unmanaged daily backup but it doesn't work. (Q239892 and Q267574 - method 3) Here's the dailybackup.cmd file: start /wait rsm.exe refresh /lf"SEAGATE DAT 04106-XXX SCSI Sequential Device" C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntbackup.exe backup "@C:\Documents and Settings\saxguy\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\data\daily.bks" /v:yes /r:no /rs:no /hc:on /m normal /j "daily" /l:f /p "4mm DDS" /um I don't have the /n switch because MS says it's best to let RSM use the default date/time label. But when I double click on the .cmd file it just flashes and goes away. What's the reason? I have been trying for months to get ntbackup to run a daily backup job of selected files using one of two DDS3 tapes. Set to overwrite, I expect the job to not care which tape is in (I selected "New" for which type of media to use when i defined the job) but it doesn't work reliably. Seems to be RSM and the way it handles labels I guess? I discovered the /um switch which is supposed to obviate any requirement for user interaction on a stand alone tape drive (Seagate DAT) but I have yet to see it work reliably. I can do manuals just fine but that takes the fun out of automation plus it irks me that this shouldn't be rocket science to schedule a backup. I keep one tape in the drive and one in a safe location and swap them out fairly often. I don't want to be bothered by a request to "put in XXX tape please" to continue a backup. Just overwrite what is on the tape in the drive and be done with it. Any help is really appreciated Jeff Tag: Deploying no microsoft software accross a network Tag: 144049

You can deploy MSI packages using group policy.
