smtp/pop/imap4 dosen't work (E2K)!?
Dear all,
I have the following:
1- SBS2000
2- W2K Server
I've added two accounts to exchange by AD,
naji@mydomain.com.lb, and admin@mydomain.com.lb, after
that I've configured MSOutlook as POP and when I click on
TEST button it seem that POP and SMTP is working fine.
but the problem is outlook dosen't receive any email from
the exchange so when I send an email to myself this email
stay at the Exchange server. if I check the mailbox at
exchange I find that it has one email count. Oulook shows
no error it checks the exchange and emails download to
client.
thank you in advance

Uising OWA to access other user's mailboxes
Does OWA allow users to access other mailboxes that they have been given
permission to view or manage?
If not, is there a way to allow a user who's connecting remotely to login to
OWA as another user?

TCP/IP Connection was unrepentantly terminated
I'm trying to send/receive emails via my SBS using outlook
2000 and keep getting the message :TCP/IP Connection was

IE - 403 forbidden on first attempt, but refreshes OK
Our server is SBS2K sp3 with XP workstations. Internet has been working OK,
but recently we have been getting a problem with IE.
When IE is first fired up on a workstation we get an error 403 forbidden - ISA
server has blocked connection to the specified URL. If we click refresh, the
page loads OK and all subsequent activity is fine for that session. If we
close and reopen IE the problem repeats.
The only thing that has changed on the system is that we set up a group policy
to redirect "my documents" to the "company" shared folder and disabled
"offline files" on each workstation.
Any ideas?

Fax module
I am considering upgrading to SBS and was wondering how
the desktop Fax module works. I can see how outgoing faxes
would be handled but what about incoming faxes, are they
displayed on screen and if so which application runs them?
Or is this just an outgoing service such that I would need
to retain my fax machine for incoming communication? Tag: Exchange Disclaimer Tag: 115568
Tape backup software
What do people here recommend for tape backup software?
I'm figuring on a DLT VS80 system, either a standalone drive or a small
library (eg. Dell Powervault). Probably a daily incremental and a weekly
full backup, for a small machine shop. Things to back up would include
email, drawings, and job orders. Maybe 2-4 tape sets, one per week, with
all but one kept off-site.
I'd like to see a verify-after-write function. There's nothing worse than
losing your hard disk and finding that your backups are trash. I want to be
dead certain that the tapes have good data on them. Tag: Exchange Disclaimer Tag: 115566

Disaster Recovery Scenarios?
Howdy
Wonder if anyone has any suggestions for a disaster
recover scenario for a customer of mine.
They are running SBS 2000 on a server with ide raid 5, as
well as a DDS4 tape drive. They run regular backups but
are concerned about a critical failure of the server that
might have them down for a period of time.
They would like to have a PC that in the event of their
server failing could have SBS restored to it in a short
space of time as an interim measure until the server is
back on line. Any suggestions of the best way to do
this? Some of the scenarios that I would like comments
or experiences people have had are:
1. Backup up SBS regularly over the network to a file
and then restore this backup to the PC in the event of a
failure. Problems I see with this are the short file
name issue and restoring to new hardware.
2. Using some kind of snapshot program (ghost or
similar) regularly to create an image over the network to
restore in the event of failure. Again I think restoring
to new hardware might be the issue.
If anyone has a suggestion of an applications, hardware
or methods to do this I would appreciate it.
Also any obstacles I may face trying each of my scenarios
would be appreciated.

Wierd port for SSL
One of my co-workers is suffering some ISA woes. A vendor has a
ticketing program that starts with http traffic and slips to secure
transactions using port 8081. Yes the vendor chose to not use normal
ports. At the server is seems to work when you turn of the firewall
but does not work when ISA is fully functional. I wonder if the
packets start out leaving behind the firewall as port 80 traffic but
they try to send things back on another port so it gets rejected. I am
more than bit experienced with this kind of ISA so I am open to ideas
and education. Workstations do not work even thought the firewall
client is loaded. Well I am assuming the firewall client is loaded.

Moving a printer
I have just started with a company and have only recently
had to use SBS.
We have a printer HP 4500 connected to the network via
CAT5 network cable directly into the wall jack and the
power cable plugs into the wall power socket. (There is no
parallel connection to the printer).
When i look on the win2k SBS this Printer is set up as a
local printer along with a shared FAX which is also setup
as a local printer in the same manner.
I now need to move this printer to a new room and new wall
jack.
Can i simply move the printer and connect it into the new
wall jack? Would this work?
If it won't what will i need to do to get it working?
Sorry it's proabably a very basic IT question but
networking is not my strong point.

Upgrading a Novell network to SBS 2000
I am going to see a prospect next week about converting their Novell network
over to Windows. They are using Novell 5 and Groupwise. I would like to

I am wondering what is the best route to go:
Install the SBS server and SBS clients on all the workstations and then use
Gateway Service for Netware to connect the Novell server to the SBS network?
The Novell server will have data that will have to be pulled over.
Also, e-mail is another issue. How to we export or save all the Groupwise
e-mail so it can be imported into the Exchange mailboxes.
I am open to any suggestions or advise because I have never mixed the two,

SBS internet connection
Replacing an SBS server (functionally ok) with a much
faster one.
I've been through this nightmare before, installing SBS
on a muli-homed machine. It won't even recognize the
cable being plugged in on the nic to connect to the T1
line router. I know the nic card works, because if I
reverse the connections the "cable unplugged" nag goes
away.
I have all the adapter setings just as they were on the
old computer, and I'm using the connection right now on a
new computer not connected to the LAN to send this
message.
I think I have something misconfigured in ISA, my hunch
is that it's blocking access.
Need help urgently, I'm at my clients branch location in
another state and have only a couple days to replace the
server and most of the workstations.

Issue:
======
All versions of Microsoft Windows contain support for file
conversion within the operating system. This functionality allows
users of Microsoft Windows to convert file formats from one to
another. In particular, Microsoft Windows contains support for
HTML conversion within the operating system. This functionality
allows users to view, import, or save files as HTML.
There is a flaw in the way the HTML converter for Microsoft
Windows handles a conversion request during a cut-and-paste
operation. This flaw causes a security vulnerability to exist. A
specially crafted request to the HTML converter could cause the
converter to fail in such a way that it could execute code in the
context of the currently logged-in user. Because this
functionality is used by Internet Explorer, an attacker could
craft a specially formed Web page or HTML e-mail that would cause
the HTML converter to run arbitrary code on a user's system. A
user visiting an attacker's Web site could allow the attacker to
exploit the vulnerability without any other user action.
To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker would have to create
a specially-formed HTML e-mail and send it to the user.
Alternatively, an attacker would have to host a malicious Web
site that contains a Web page designed to exploit this
vulnerability. The attacker would then have to persuade a user to
visit that site.
Mitigating factors:
====================
- By default, Internet Explorer on Windows Server 2003 runs in
Enhanced Security Configuration. This default configuration of
Internet Explorer blocks automatic exploitation of this attack.
If Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration has been
disabled, the protections put in place that prevent this
vulnerability from being automatically exploited would be
removed.
- In the Web-based attack scenario, the attacker would have to
host a Web site that contained a Web page used to exploit this
vulnerability. An attacker would have no way to force users to
visit a malicious Web site outside the HTML e-mail vector.
Instead, the attacker would need to lure them there, typically by
getting them to click a link that would take them to the
attacker's site.
- Exploiting the vulnerability would allow the attacker only the
same privileges as the user. Users whose accounts are configured
to have few privileges on the system would be at less risk than
ones who operate with administrative privileges.
Risk Rating:

differences between SBS2000 and it's individual components...
Greetings,
A small business client of mine is purchasing a new properly management
package to replace their old DOS based package. The new package is web
based and runs on Win2k, IIS, SQL Server 2000 and Exchange 2000. The small
business client currently runs an old Novell server and about 6 older Win95
and 98.
The vendor of the new software made recommendation regarding the new server
(Dell 2x Xeon, 2GB RAM, Raid 5) and also recommended the purchase of
individual packages of Windows 2000, Exchange 2000, and SQL Server 2000 and
the appropriate numer of CAL's for each. The vendor also stated that the
backup program shipped with Win2k Server is more than adequate to back up
this server properly.
I came back with the recommendation that they consider the purchase and use
of SBS2000 instead of the individual components. Purchasing SBS2000 would
save about $3000 over the individual components so it's not a trivial sum.
I also recommended the purchase of a third party server backup package
(Backup Exec, Arcserve, etc.) to take care of the system backup needs.
The vendor responded that SBS2000 wasn't the same as the individual
components and that they've had lot of problems when using SBS2000, but
could not provide specifics about these problems when asked. The vendor
also stated that the level of support from MS was different and inadequate
for the SBS products when compared to the individual components so that was
another reason to not use SBS2000.
The vendor also stated that they would allow the use of SBS2000, but would
charge an additional 8-16 hours of install labor if SBS2000 was used.
As a seasoned veteran of the consulting and small business technology
support profession, I know what my feelings are towards what this vendor has
to say.
I'm interested in hearing from anyone who cares to comment regarding this
vendors recommendations. Tag: Exchange Disclaimer Tag: 115392
Please keep away from Symantec corporate 8.1
Hi all,
Had a very bad experience with the latest Symantec Corporate Multi-tier
version 8.1. You need to register it on Symantec site and they are supposed
to send you a license file by e-mail which permits you to run liveupdate,
I'm still waiting for the license file after 8 hours - the symantec support
is pathetic (here in Europe).
The problem is that even if you manually update to the latest virus pattern
files, Symantec keeps on reverting to original pattern file i.e. 23/03/2003
so the server and clients are not fully protected. If tomorrow I don't get
the license file, I'll revert back to old version and probably order Trend.
If anybody is thinking of buying one please be aware.

I am relatively new to working with Exchange and have
followed the directions on installing and setting up SBS
2000. After 2 weeks of being in use, I have noticed that
both partitions on my 120 Gig hard drive are full. We are
a small 5-person office and do not received near enough
email or other data to have filled this hard drive. The
larger partition (100 gig) had almost no data on it, so I
removed the data and had the partition reformatted. This
cleared up the space and was fine. To better utilize the
public folders and some data we wanted stored there, I
moved the logs and database to the empty partition. After
the next reboot, 95 Gig has vanished. The Public folders
and the email boxes on the server have been disconnected
from all of the Client systems and all the email was put
on Local PST files to clear up space on the server prior
to formatting the secondary partition as a precaution. I
am at a serious loss on how to proceed. Any help that
anyone can offer is greatly appreciated. Tag: Exchange Disclaimer Tag: 115346
Question for a skulker...
Good Morning,
I have been skulking in this group for almost six months gleaning
information since I was chosen to look after our companies install of
SBS2K. I will give you a profile of me and my install before I ask my
question so that you can respond accordingly.
I am NOT A NETWORK or IT PROFESSIONAL, I am a programmer that has a
very good overall working knowledge. I have also done much reading,
worked through this newgroup and Harry Brelsfords book. I did one
istall based on Harrys Book, a second based on our comany and I am now
live and fully operational.
We have 9 users: 2 laptops that travel, 3 W2k and 4 NT4. Our interent
is modem dial up. We are using sql (with accessXP as the front end on
the workstations) We are also using exchange. The two laptops I have
left with thier own interst e-mail for now as we do not have a full
time connection that would allow them OWA. We have installed Trend AV,
have a RAID5 (three + hot spare) with C: for system and D: for
selected data and E: for exchage there is a separate mirror (2
drives)F: for other data and sql logs/back-ups etc. We do a COMPLETE
back-up to tape every night. Everything is working... I don't even
have any perflib errors!
My first question (the first one I will have more as I move ahead) is
this: When I make a TS connection (Admin Mode) to the server a
complete copy of "My Documents" is copied to the server c:\documents
and settings etc... I have read several posts and thay all refer to
"Group Policy" and redirection. All the "security" postings sound
scary since I have no knowledge or experience in this area. What I
need is a step by step walk through of exactly what I need to to to
make all users "My Documents" not get dragged across the network and
"synchronized" every login/out.
Thanks in adance

Run software remotely?
Hello all,
This question is related to previous post I made, but I wanted to restate
the problem more directly (and not presume a solution).
I have a piece of technical software (Matlab) which I would like to run
remotely on another computer. I use it to develop fairly complex computer
models which can take a while to run and really bog things down when they
do. So I would like to install the software on another, reasonably power PC
I have and run it remotely so I can do other work on my machine while it's
crunching away. I also have a coworker (off site) who will need to access
this occasionally (its an engineering tool) -but not at the same time. All
the machines are connected on a small, SBS2000 network.
So my question is what's the best way to accomplish this (assuming it can
be done)?
Thanks for any advice. -Pat Tag: Exchange Disclaimer Tag: 115332
create a folder in shared fax console?
Can I create additional folders in the Shared Fax console? My Sent Items is
getting a little unruly, and I'd like to start organizing my sent faxes, as
I have to keep them around for a while. Tag: Exchange Disclaimer Tag: 115331
SBS shared fax address book
Shared Fax cannot see my address books.
I created a contacts folder in Public Folders, set the permissions
accordingly, had each user set Outlook to see it as an "Outlook
Address Book". Now Outlook and Shared Fax can use this address book -
great - but on our XP machines only.
On the server itself however (W2K Server), neither Outlook nor Shared
Fax can see it as an address book. When I click "Address Book" in
Shared Fax, I get Global Address List, All Address Lists, All
Contacts, All Groups, All Users, and Public Folders. Not even my
normal mailbox Exchange contacts show up. How on Earth can I get this
contacts folder to show up in Shared Fax? What am I missing?
I even checked that IE is using Outlook for email (another setting I
saw in a post here). Tag: Exchange Disclaimer Tag: 115329

Netmeeting remote control
Hello,
I have an SBS 2000 server configured with two network
cards, and all is fine. I now have a firewall installation
that has been configured to allow VPN, and all is working
well. The result is, I have connectivity to the external
NIC of my SBS server.
Is it possible to therefore use netmeeting to remote
control an SBS client sat on the internal LAN from a
machine connected to the external NIC?
I have mastered the art of remote control via netmeeting
on the internal LAN. I think my questions are more in the
ISA 2000 and routing interface area.
Thank You

SBS moving exchange public folders
Hi Group,
I had been trying to move exchange 2000 to a new server
but had to revert back temporarilty as we wern't able to
send e-mails from the new server externally through port
25, had some problems, which may have taken a few to fix.
Anyway,We had replicated folders etc to the new mail
server though.
I use MS SBS 2000 along with Exchange server 2000 and keep
getting the following messages into my own personal inbox.
From Public Folder Store (OurServerName)
Subject Conflict message - (Whatever Message subject was)
When i double click to open these messages i get Multiple
edits have been made to "RE: Here it is" conflicting edits
have been attached to a conflict message in "2001 -
Customer- E-mails".
If i then click the open message in conflict button i can
see two e-mails
NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEMRe:Here it is
I then have two options keep this item or keep all.
I do not know what will happen if i select the keep all
tab or keep this only tab.
I have a total of 300+ e-mails in my inbox from the last
four days.
I can see that the e-mails changed times are somehting
like 5 minutes apart frrom when the system states they are
being changed.
Any ideas on why i am the only user receiving this error
message and also how to fix the fault?
Any help/advice much appreciated.

System crashes at regular time
My system crashes almost every night within the same 20 minute window. The
physical server has the normally green on/off switch glowing orange as
though it's in a power save mode but the server has to be unplugged to get
it going again.
The server is on a UPS so I don't thinks it's due to an external problem and
the regularity makes me thinks it's not power supply.
Has anyone come across this type of problems before or does anyone have any
ideas as to how I might track down possible causes.
