    - Move Pagefile.Sys Hi all. Server -> SBS 2000 I have 600 MB free space on C: drive. All the backups are running just fine. Could I move the PageFile.sys from C: drive to D:, without any problem? When I move it from C: to D:, SBS tells me that there will be no information for dumping. This situation would be temporary, because we are thinking in buying a new server. Thanks a lot in advance. Best regards, Joaquim. Tag: Exchange Performance Tag: 159858

    - Microsoft Office? Hi there, Does anyone know what the licence issues are with Microsoft Office 2000 OEM edition, on a corporate network? We are looking at buying about 7 more computers to add to our SBS domain, are we allowed to use the OEM version instead of the retail version on these new computers? Thanks in advance Andy C Tag: Exchange Performance Tag: 159856

    - SBS-2003 Slooow We have 2 x SBS-2003 (one English and one Dutch) on 2 different locations. Both Pentium IV-2.8 GHz and 512 Mb memory. One is for 2 users and the other for 10 users. With ADSL. The problem is that when the servers are just started they work fine, but in a few days sending e-mail is getting slower. Sending a Word document takes normally a few seconds, but after a few days it takes about one minut. Restarting the server solves this problem. Any ideas ? Marty We think that SBS-2003 is slower than SBS-2000, not only with sending e-mail. Can anyone agree with this ? Tag: Exchange Performance Tag: 159854

Then tried to log remotely using a VPN connection and access the upgraded workstions using Remote Desktop Connection, but I get the following message when I try to log to the workstation: "The local policy does not permit you to logon interactively" When I logged as a local Administrator to that specific workstation, I found that under Administrative Tools, Local Security Policy, Local Policies, User Rights Assignment, Log on Locally everything is set correctly in terms of the Users and Groups which are allowed to access this machine (Administrator / Users / Everyone ... etc.) I have also checked the second workstation which I have upgraded to Windows XP Professional and the same problem presist ... Also, I have used NTRights.exe to force the "Log on Locally", but no success ...

(a) Internet Explorer successfullyprocesses a webserver response that redirects the location of a resourceto a file on the client system. Note that this file can be accessed inthe security context of the "Local Computer Zone". (b) Internet Explorercontains a cross-domain vulnerability that can be triggered whenhandling a frame, and a "modal dialog box" that is invoked from theframe. These vulnerabilities can be exploited by a malicious website toexecute arbitrary code on a client system. The technical details and theexploits have been publicly posted.Status: Microsoft not confirmed, no patches available.Council Site Actions: Most of the reporting council sites are awaitingthe vendor patches. Some sites plan to roll out the patch during thenormal system update cycle and others plan to expedite the rollout.Several sites have already notified their desktop support teams to beaware of the problem.Referencesosting by Rafel Ivgi http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/fulldisclosure/2004-06/0031.html Analysis by Jelmer CERT Advisoryhttp://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/713878 Modal Dialog Box Referencehttp://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/showmodaldialog.asp SecurityFocus BIDshttp://www.securityfocus.com/bid/10473 http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/10472 UPDATE - YES IT WORKS JUST FINE ON XP WITH IE6 and even works like a champ on XP sp2] So I just kicked my workstation at the office and the workstation at home's Internet explorer to ?high security? settings. What that means is that I've shut down the scripting and active X to be automatically blocked at all times. Then if I have a web site that I really trust and know if an OK site, I add it to ?my trusted site? list. Now this normally is a pain and a bother.... tools, options, security, internet zone, add sites, blah blah... way way way too cumbersome. Well not anymore! My MVP buddies showed me this gem -- http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/previous/webaccess/pwrtwks.mspx This little IE addition adds a quick shortcut under ?Tools? for ?add to trusted sites?. I just did this to a couple of people at the office and here at home and showed them all they have to do when they get to a web site that they really ?need? to have working [like a business site] they can add the site to the trusted zone and hit ?refresh? and voila. Very nice. Very much safer out here. I've also adjusted my "trusted zone" to not be "low" and instead is now "medium" so it prompts me instead of automatically scripting. And add sites to the trusted zone SPARINGLY. **************************************************************** (2) MODERATE: Oracle E-Business Suite SQL Injection VulnerabilitiesAffected: Oracle E-Business Suite versions 11i, 11.5.1 to 11.5.8Oracle Applications version 11.0Description: Oracle E-Business suite offers a set of applications toautomate business processes such as marketing, customer services,supply-chain management etc. The pertinent business information istypically stored in a single database, and accessed via the webfront-end offered by the E-Business suite applications.

    - Server Crashing...help Our server started crashing last night with the blue screen of death. I don't really understand why. The server hasn't had any changes to it with software or hardware, and has been running flawlessly before this. When I reboot the server after it crashes, the server is not finding he harddrives. I have a RAID card that the harddrives are connected to. No matter how many times I reboot the server, it doesn't find them. I've found that I have to shut the server off, and then turn it back on in order for it to find the drives. Could it be a problem with the hardware RAID card? The only other odd thing that I've seen in the event log are some errors. Here are some of them: The Closed Caption Decoder service failed to start due to the following error: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it. The previous system shutdown at 4:08:55 AM on 6/13/2004 was unexpected. Then, when the server comes back up, it has these errors: The IPSEC driver service failed to start due to the following error: Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service. The BDA MPE Filter service failed to start due to the following error: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it. The Microsoft Streaming Tee/Sink-to-Sink Converter service failed to start due to the following error: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it. The NABTS/FEC VBI Codec service failed to start due to the following error: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.

The error is that the remote computer cannot be found. Saying that I am unable to ping the destination server either. However I am able to successfully do this when I use a connection that is not behind the SBS Server. Setup is as follows dest: router, isa, 2 nics & static ip The setup I am trying to connect from behind router, isa, 2 nic & dynamic ip. I have also tested by removing the router at the end we are trying to connect from & still the same problem. (appears to related to the SBS at the end we are trying to connect from) Any idea's?

    - Song of the Week - June 12, 2003 Random thoughts before the song ... I'm writing this after spending most of the day driving around the snow capped mountains west of Colorado Springs. So many wonderful scenes of the grandeur of the world we live in. You could just imagine the cowboys on horseback, and the wagons pulling families from the east to the west. Tomorrow I'll be heading back east to home in Florida. While driving, I was thinking of the impact that Ronald Reagan had on the world we live in. Worldwide sentiments seem to echo the same thoughts. I remember growing up in an era where we had regularly scheduled bomb shelter practices. We now have a different enemy. Finally it's my youngest daughter's birthday tomorrow. So I dedicate this song to all those pioneers in eras past, present and future ... Wind Beneath My Wings It must have been cold there in the '50s, (Cold War) to never know freedom from your fears. You were content to hold your ground, that's your way, you always were ready to shed a tear. So we were the ones who lived in freedom, while you were the one that took the blame. A beautiful face without a name -- for so long, a beautiful smile to hide the pain. Chorus Did you ever know that you're my hero, and ev'rything I would like to be? I can fly higher than an eagle, 'cause you are the wind beneath my wings. It might have appeared to go unnoticed, but because of you the world has changed. I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it, Without you the wall might still remain (Berlin Wall) Chorus Did you ever know that you're my hero, and ev'rything I would like to be? I can fly higher than an eagle, 'cause you are the wind beneath my wings. Fly, fly, fly away, you let me fly so high. Oh, fly, fly, so high against the sky, so high I almost touch the sky. Thank you, thank you, thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings. -- Kevin Weilbacher [SBS-MVP] "The days pass by so quickly now, the nights are seldom long" Tag: Exchange Performance Tag: 159807

    - Printing locally from ts - again Hi I am really stump on this problem. We connect remotely to our ts at the head office which is part of a sbs2000 domain. There is an app on the ts that we would like to print reports off to our hp all in one PSC 750 printer connected locally via USB. The problem is that ts does not know about this printer and the printer does not appear in the list of printers available to ts. I have tried to remotely install printer driver on the ts but as the printer is not accessible to ts either locally or via LAN, the printer setup does not complete itself. I have also tried remote desktop connection by ticking 'printers' under "connect to which local resources" option but that hasn't helped either. Could someone please give me step by step instructions to get my local printer working with the remote ts? Thanks Regards Tag: Exchange Performance Tag: 159804

I changed the tcip to the correct setting and I think scope is ok but I cannot access the intranet site nor am I convinced the rest of it is operating correctly. Can anyone help or must I reinstall the software again :-( rgds Kevin Tag: Exchange Performance Tag: 159801

    - Group Policy Hi I have SBS2000 with windows 2000 and xp clients, I have set the group policy rights so that all the users in the domain should not be able to modify the network properties of their system. This is working with windows 2000 but in the win xp system this is not taking place i.e i am still able to change the network settings like changing the ip address. I am not able to get the problem and I am new to the group policy. Please some one help me on this issue I have to implement this on our server soon because some of the users are changing the Ip adress of their system to server ip address and the server will be down Thanks Vinod Tag: Exchange Performance Tag: 159784

    - IISReset command line options Hi, A quick question about the ciisreset command. KB202013 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;202013 mentions that "The default behavior if no options are specified is to stop and restart the Web services on the local computer." and with the "/restart" option for "stops, and then restarts all running Internet services." I don't understand the difference. Is there a different to run IISReset without any option and with the "/restart" option? Thanks Tag: Exchange Performance Tag: 159776

    - imap connection refused I was recently asked to help fix up an SBS 2k box that had some troubles. I didn't do too much on the server, although I did run ICW. After I left, all was working well. Then yesterday I went back, and ended up re-running ICW again. After I ran it, I was told IMAP was no longer working. I noted first of all there was no imap filter in ISA. I added one but then still got a connection refused message. I try to telnet to port 143 locally from the server, and get * BYE Connection refused I restarted the exchange imap service, same problem. Rebooted, same troubles. Any idea where the issue is? My only hint, perhaps, is that since there was no packet filter at all in ISA for port 143, which is interesting, since it used to work for them. I have no idea... Thanks, -Josh Tag: Exchange Performance Tag: 159774

    - Terminal server licenses Hi all, I am having a problem with a particular user trying to log into our SBS2000 network. I have 2 servers (1 SBS2K and 1 W2K Server in TS APP mode). All my remote users can successfully create a VPN into our network and use Remote Desktop Connection on their XP Pro workstations to access our TS machine except for one employee who can successfully create the VPN but cannot log into the TS. The error I receive in the TS's log is 'The terminal server cannot issue a client license'. He is the only one that gets this error out of all the remote users. His account is setup no differently from any other remote user. Can anyone offer any assistance. He is running XP Pro from his home over a cable modem. Other employees have the same service and have no problem. TR Tag: Exchange Performance Tag: 159759

    - Authentication time-out in SBS2K RAS connection RAS connections fail to connect from various clients/modems with Event ID 20049: The user connected to port COM4 has been disconnected because the authentication process did not complete within the required amount of time. The connections work fine from ISDN T/A's to the T/A on COM3, but analogue clients fail to the analogue modem on COM4 (above)- a Zoom 56K V92/V90 PCI modem The only client that will work is connecting via mobile phone (at 9600 bps)! It looks like a timing problem as the RD light on the COM4 modem seems to flash slightly before CD comes up I've tried changing FIFO buffers, port speeds etc but no luck ! Anyone got any other ideas?

    - SBS2003 Modem failing to disconnect Having migrated from a previous version of SBS to SBS2003 we are suffering from the fact that our serial modem will not disconnect when idle. There is no problem with the process from the original connection. But as soon as an on- demand (browser connection) or POP3 mail box check is initiated there appears to be no way of disconnecting the service other than manual intervention. No exactly what is need really. Anybody seen this or got any ideas? Tag: Exchange Performance Tag: 159757

We want to buy Exchange 2003 to install on our new remote DC so that we can move some of the mailboxes so that our remote users get faster access. Is this going to be possible or would we need to buy Exchange 2000? In other words, is Exchange 2003 compatible with Exchange 2000? Thanks in advance Dan Williams.

    - Disable Folder Move / Change / Rename I work for a very small engineering company, and can use a mouse, so I am the default IT department. This is probably a simple fix, but I can't figure out how to do it. Any help appreciated -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On my server, I have a project drive with project folders. The folders are named the project numbers, like this 04032. 04032. 04032. 04033. 04034. And so on. What happens is, someone accidentaly drags a folder into another folder, and then some days or weeks later, that project appears to be gone forever and I have to serach for it and replace it What I want to do is set the permissions so that users have full access to the folder contents - including file creation, modification and deletion - but can't change, move delete or rename the project folder (above). So far, any time I try to do that, they can no longer write to the folder Thanks for any insight Tag: Exchange Performance Tag: 159743

    - Printing Permissions Problem Hi all A really strange one! A user gets an error message when printing from the sage application "the calling application refused the spooler request" Ive tracked it down to a windows log on problem in that if I log onto her machine and she logs onto Sage, she can print Ok. I have checked her permissions and they are the same as everybody elses. She can print from any other application ok. The only way I can get her to be able to print is by giving her Administrator rights which I don't want to do for too long! Any ideas?? I have recreated her local profile, reimported her machine, I'm clean out of ideas!! She is a new user and was only set up this week using the new user wizard although another user who has been on the system for a while also has the same problem but doesn't need to print from sage as much.

    - SBS 2003 CAL and VPN issue Hi all, Have SBS 2003 with 10 CAL's installed to support 7 users/workstations. Am trying to set-up a VPN connection so that one user can access the server from home over Internet. Using Routing and RAS service as VPN server. When XP Pro client machine tries to connect the VPN - get the following error: Error 71: 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. System Event Viewer on the SBS2003 server then shows: A user was unable to connect on port VPN4-127. No more connections can be made to this remote computer because the computer has exceeded it's client license limit. I have had the VPN connection working once using the administrator account for testing. It worked fine until I renamed the administrator account. I have deleted/recreated the VPN interface, renamed the administrator account back and deleted/recreated the VPN interface again. Even created a new VPN interface from scratch with it's own user account, but get the same message. Yet server management - Licensing shows Maximum usage at 7. I know the maximum useage is not an accurate/live guide and so have tried doing all of this at 8am before anyone else is using the server and all other machines are switched off - still I get the same problem. Any ideas? Thanks in advance Tag: Exchange Performance Tag: 159728

    - Workstation locked We have one workstation, which was locked by using serwer rules (policy). Now we have updated serwer to SBS2003 and we noted that there is no way to access the workstation (it needs to lock into the old domain). We cannoy of course change the SBS domain now. Does anybody know how to access the workstation? I triesd to do it by reinstaling windows (only repairing). It did not work. I also tried different other methods. The system (Windows 2000) is loading till the loging window appears and then when I try to log it tells that internal rules does not allow logging.

    - Problem changing user password after migration After completing the migration to SBS2003 from SBS2000 onto a new server, I have one chap who is using Windows Me and is unable to synchronise his password. He has been able to change his network password, but it will not allow the windows password to be changed. I did not migrate the computer accounts during the migration, but I have a couple of other users on Windows 98 and they have not had this problem. He is able to log in and work OK, but everytime he starts up the machine, it asks him for his windows password and he has to press cancel. Is there any way to reset the password in Windows Me?

    - Multiple companies on one SBS2K A client has a group of companies in the same business park that they want to connect through their one sbs2k server at the main office to the internet. The links to the various companies will mostly be wireless and terminate in the main office server room switch. However security privacy between the various companies is necessary. I thought of assigning different subnets to the companies to maintain privacy. Now the questions: Can ISA provide privacy between the companies, or should a 3rd party firewall be setup for this? Can DHCP cope with maintaining the IP ranges for all the companies and how would this be done? or should each company have it's own DHCP or use static? Can individual domains be setup for these companies and can Exchange on SBS2k provide seperate email addresses? External domain hosting will be used though. Assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    - DNS/WINS problem? I recently setup VPN access to a server running SBS 2000. I used "Configure a Local Virtual Private Network (VPN)" in ISA. Prior to setting up VPN, I was able to reference the server by name in all my software notification and proxy configurations. For example, in Veritas Backup Exec, I had the SMTP mail server as SERVER01. In my Trend Micro products I had SERVER01 port 8080 listed as the proxy server. My internal IP is 192.168.16.2 and my external address for my 2nd nic is 192.168.1.2. After setting up VPN, I now have to specify 192.168.1.2 as my SMTP server in Veritas and I must enter 192.168.16.2 as my proxy server along with a proxy username and password in the Trend products. Also, I can't get notification to work at all in the Trend Products. What settings would impact how I specify an SMTP and/or proxy server? Tag: Exchange Performance Tag: 159714

Where do I look to see how the server is handling mail that shouldn't be delviered? The mail is the right domain, but no such user account. it seems that perhaps all users are receiving the email when it resolves to none? And these emails are all in german. Maybe someone else has gotten a new virus, as i don't think the sent from addresses are real. Tag: Exchange Performance Tag: 159702
