    - Exchange Question Hi, I have a SBS2K server with windows 2K client machines connected to it. Basically the question I have is. Is it possible to have multiple mail stores within Exchange 2000? We have 3 different companies and I want to use the mailbox manager to miss out certain users. I have tried to use the filter but it seems to do what it wants to do instead of what I ask, so I am wondering if I can set up multiple mail stores to different managing procedures. If anyone can help it would be great. Thanks in advance Andy C Tag: Exchange Quickie Tag: 148567

    - move win xp pcs from nt4 domain to sbs2000 I have 10 winxp pro pcs that are currently logging on to a single NT 4.0 file server. the xp pro pc's are members of the nt 4 domain (the nt 4 server is a domain controller.) the nt 4 server is going to be decommissioned and a sbs 2000/2003 server will replace it. I want to preserve the users desktops, settings, apps etc and have the win xp pcs log on to the sbs domain. I have seen "netdom" mentioned as a tool to do this. Is this the the right tool for the job ? charles. Tag: Exchange Quickie Tag: 148565

    - Frontpage ISA settings? Hi - my website is designed & uploaded in FP to a shared server run by my isp. If I upload using pc directly attached to adsl router then no problems - however if the pc is on the SBS network & therefore behind ISA, the upload gets to the point of asking for the Username & password for the site & then fails to do anything more. I assume that FP on the pc & the FP site at the isp must have to do some sort of handshake(?) and that ISA server is blocking/filtering that. Any suggestions as to how to deal with it? Thanks Tag: Exchange Quickie Tag: 148558

    - SBS users in a Terminal server Hi Guys I would greatly appreciate your views on the following. I am going to install a new application server (2000) in my companys SBS 2000 network. It will be 2000 in Terminal mode. We have a about 45 users and I don't want to sit there - punching in login names and passwords. All users will have the same rights that they have in SBS. Could you please help me with the easiest way to propagate my users? Secondly, I like the simple way that you can publish an application in Metafarme. Is there a simple way to do this in terminal server? Thanks for your help Steve Tag: Exchange Quickie Tag: 148554

    - roaming profiles I have an SBS2000 network with win98 and win xp pro. They want roaming profiles. I know the preferred method would be using a GPO and redirection. But I don't think that works with win98. I setup a folder called profiles and configured all users to point to this share in active directory. But the xp clients are not working. they get an error at log in about could not find profile will use local copy. Can someone tell me how to make roaming profiles work for both clients.

    - No email POP3 & Newsgroup The ISA 2000 is installed which is part of my SBS 2000. The Client are NATClient and they have access to the web However, they don't have access to newsgroup as well as email. The following is the settings for the ISA Server which is Part of the SBS 2000: The ISA server name is ARSPRIME properities the Incoming Web request Incoming listeners is Server is ARSPRIME and IP Address is 10.100.0.1 TCP 8080 SSL 443 ------------------->>> This port is different as to the Port on the outgoing Enabled SSL Listners is CHECKED the Outgoing Web reques Outgoing listeners is Server is ARSPRIME and IP Address is 10.100.0.1 TCP 8080 SSL 8443 ------------------->>> This port is different as to the Port on the outgoing Enabled SSL Listners is CHECKED I also have the the Local Address Table (LAT) for ISA established for the DHCP Clients scope 10.100.0.x to 10.100.0254 and the Local Domain Table (LDT) have my domain name Under the Site & Content Rules I have a default rule which I think was established by SBS 2000 when I made the installation is called BackOffice Internet Access Site & Content Group. Also, inside the Protocol Rules I have a rule by default which have the name of BackOffice Internet Access Protocol Rules, which was established through the installation. I tried to establish two Rules to allow the POP3(email) and NNTP(News Groups) but they did not make a difference. Please point me in the direction of what I need to do to allow the POP3 email as well as the News Group so client can have access. Besides for the time being, I am hosting my Email & Website with a hosting company but once I have everything correct with the ISA I will host my website on IIS as well as my email through Exchange in the near future localy. Do I have to allow other protocols as this time when I start host my email and website locally? Thank You Tag: Exchange Quickie Tag: 148530

    - VPN Firewall through ISA I have a SnapGear firewall which I will be using as the VPN end point for my clients, rather than ISA/SBS2K. I intended to run the firewall through the second NIC and ISA Server so I could use the reporting features of ISA. The problem is that because the firewall is a VPN Server it needs to issue IP addresses out from it's subnet, which is 192.168.0.255. The LAN IP range is totally different to this. What do I do? I haven't actively tested this yet as I am still in the early stages but need to prepare before I go too far to turn back. If the VPN clients are issued the 192.168.0.255 address will they still be able to acess the LAN? Any suggestions, comments or further questions most welcome. Thanks. Tippy.

    - ICW requires removal of address from LAT This SBS 2000 server is moving to broadband Internet connection, using a router between the modem and a second NIC. A trial computer plugged into the router can surf the NET, so I am confident the router and modem are set up correctly. ICW on the server objects to the IP addresses assigned to the second NIC by the router, saying they are already in the internal LAT. I need to know how to safely remove an IP address from the LAT. The router is assigning 192.168.0.101 today to the external NIC. Yesterday it was 192.168.0.100. I have been into ISA Administrator and can delete the range from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255. The internal network addresses range from 192.168.16.2 to 192.168.16.x which should be more than enough. Can I safely remove the range indicated above?

    - Outlook and the Mailbox I admin a small school network of about 30 workstations using SBS2000 as our server. All the pupils in the school have a mandatory login profile which makes life simple for us and all the children have the same settings each time they login. The problem is with the use of outlook and the mailbox. I assume that a users mailbox setting is stored as part of the profile so each time a pupil wishes to use outlook they: 1. right click the outlook icon on the desktop 2. find their mailbox using their own name 3. click OK (more than once) 4. run outlook Is there a simple way around this. Can I alter the login script to amend the registry (I have kix32 if that helps). Thanks Dave Tag: Exchange Quickie Tag: 148508

    - VPN resolution problem Hello all. I sure would appreciate any help anyone might be able to offer. Here is my problem. My client has a vanilla installation of SBS2000 (2 NICs, ADSL connection, using ISA as firewall, Win2K SP4, SBS2000 SP1). When we create a virtual private network connection from a Windows XP client, we have no problems - we can see the server and ping it successfully, see shares on the server etc. However, when we connect through VPN using a Windows 2000 client, we can't see squat - can't ping 192.168.16.2, can't see server or shares. I have checked DNS and WINS, and everything seems in order. Any suggestions or other things to check? Thanks! Steve Tag: Exchange Quickie Tag: 148507

    - only admins can fax I have SBS 2000 set up with XP clients and an external US Robotics fax modem setup for shared faxing. They were able to fax until I made some security changes. Now the only people who can fax are those in the Administrators group. I have gone through and checked every fax security related thing I can find and am still unsuccessful at getting anyone but an Administrator to fax. When a user tries to print an error occurs on the server saying it failed. Any ideas? Tag: Exchange Quickie Tag: 148501

    - Does Shared Fax support non english characters? I have a client that is trying to send out faxes with Chinese characters in them. However in the fax the Chinese characters are being replaced with square boxes. Chinese characters are installed on the server and they do display in the Shared Fax service console in fields such as recipient name etc. Howerver if you double click on a fax to open it up in imaging you can see that in the acutal fax all Chinese characters are squares. Is this a lack of character support in shared fax or could this be something else? Cheers Damon Tag: Exchange Quickie Tag: 148498

    - SMTP Connector question Last week I changed the way we send out email from Exchange. Previously I had been sending directly to recipient using DNS, but due to IP blocking issues decided to relay all email from my office thru our ISP mail server. At first glance it appeared to work with no problem. But after a few hours, it stops working, and the mail ends up sitting on my server in the "unreachable destination" queue. To set this up I added the ISP mail server in the smarthost field under the advanced tab in the delivery section of the Default SMTP virtual server properties. I also added our ISP username and password in the outbound security tab on the delivery page. I then added the same smarthost to the property pages of the Small Business SMTP Connector. All seems to work well for a short time, then all outgoing mail stops. Am I doing something wrong? To release the mail that gets held up all I need to do is switch back to using DNS in the SMTP connector. Tag: Exchange Quickie Tag: 148491

    - SBS2k and other 2kServers I have a SBS 2k machine on my network. The way I had it join my existing network was to install only 2k server on it, transfer the FSMO roles and then upgrade to SBS2k. Everything worked just fine. but what I am seeing is that when I create a new user on the SBS machine, it creates the user on the other server (like it should) but it has the account disabled. And on the 2k machine when looking at a users Properties, the tabs for exchange, email address, etc is not there. I doubled checked to be sure the FSMO roles are all set on SBS and there are. Also, if I create an account on the regular 2kServer machine, the account gets replicated to the SBS machine, but when I go to the SBS machine, the tab for Email Address's is not there. Any ideas???

    - Preventing users downloading software I have just installed my first SBS 2000, and everything is fine. We often have temporary staff working on site who need access to the internet a part of their work, but a couple of them are downloading software and adding mesaging services etc. Is there a way SBS can restrict these downloads through the security or user settings - we have roaming profiles and so other options require far more work.

    - the 15 minute pop equation I just don't understand what the problem is. WHY do people wish to reduce the pop connector collection time? Well, actually, NO, that's not the question. The question is more like 'WHY do people put so much effort into reducing the pop connector retrieval interval?'. With maybe a corollary question of 'WHY is it so damned important?'. I was dealing with a company for tech support today, the guy emailed me some notes. As we receive via SMTP no POP connector delay was involved. While I was on the phone I heard him reading the email, he suggested he was forwarding it to me and I could hear him typing as he asked me to pause while I was giving him my email address, he then suggested 'you should get it soon' so I'm supposing he had actually hit the 'send' button at this time. I also called someone else for support yesterday and went through a similar scenario. Both emails were simple text messages. One arrived inside the 15 minutes, the other took 3 hours. One was from Trend Micro, the other was from Microsoft. This is the nature of internet email. An old quote about internet email suggests '90% gets delivered inside a few minutes, 5% takes a couple of days, 5% goes into the big pop box in the sky and no-one knows why.' I also receive via SMTP at home. If the girl next door emailed me I would receive it with minimal delay. If she expected me to get off my ass and knock on her door within 15 minutes she better be offering something better than dinner to fix her computer. I just don't understand what the frenzy is. On the other hand, there are very good reasons why after attempting POP collection once a short delay should occur before another pop collection is attempted. Many mail systems (and I'm probably talking *nix here, particularly *nix mail server farms) 'lock' the mailbox during delivery, if you attempt to access the mailbox before the lock is released it will error. The previous POP conversation can be complete but because the server is handling thousands of requests and also doing it's own housekeeping the mailbox may still be locked. I'm not sure but I think the lock exists to eradicate the chance of duplicate delivery. ie. (if the mailbox lock was not implemented) popconversation1 'HI, any new mail?' popconversation1 'Yep, sure is, 1*10MB message' popconversation1 'give it to me baby' Transfer starts popconversation2 'HI, any new mail?' popconversation2 'Yep, sure is, 1*10MB message' popconversation2 'give it to me baby' Transfer starts some time later more pop conversations get initiated and we've got more transfers of the same message which eventually may end. The client then has multiple copies of the same message which transferred slowly because they all happened at the same time,,, and gets rather confused what to do with them. Just my take on the issue. I must be 'in a mood'. IF your users DEMAND immediate reception of mail tell them the best you can do is a permanent IP and SMTP delivery, which may result in delays of several minutes to several days, but won't include an additional 14 minutes and 59 seconds.

    - Restoring Exchange 2000 to new SBS hardware We have just bought a new RAID server to replace our existing IDE SBS 2000 server and so far i've managed to replicate the Active Directory info to a temporary Windows 2000 server, taken it offline, and replicated it to our new server using the exact same machine name. I've managed to seize the FSMO roles and can get an existing workstation to log on to both the old and new servers, but i'm having problems installing Exchange 2000 back on to the new server. On running the installation file from the third SBS CD, i initially got the error message:- The component "Microsoft Exchange Messaging and Collaboration Services" cannot be assigned the action "Install" because: A server object for this server ("SERVERNAME") already exists in the Administrative Group "first administrative group". You must either remove this server object before installing, or run setup with the "DisasterRecovery" switch if you are attempting to recover this server. On looking at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;298068 , i've attempted to run the setup.exe /disasterrecovery command, but i get this error instead:- Please use the Exchange Administration Snap-in to ensure you have a valid Exchange Server Object for this server for which you are running Setup in recovery mode. Anyone got any ideas?? Thanks in advance Dan Williams. Tag: Exchange Quickie Tag: 148432

    - Cant open Microsoft Network on the server! Hi, I posted this about three weeks ago but didnt seem to get any answers, hopefully someone else could have a look and see if they can come up with something?. My problem is that I cant browse The Microsoft Network from my server. Every time i try to access the domain it produces an error saying it cant find the domain?. I've made sure that IsDomainMaster is set in the registry and done several fixes according to several posts relating to this problem however i still cant browse?. I have read though that RRAS affects the master browser on the master domain is that right?. If anybody has any ideas.... Regards TIM Tag: Exchange Quickie Tag: 148425

    - OT: 98/ME support is extended [no this is not a joke] CRN : Daily Archives : Microsoft Extends Paid Support On Windows 98 Until June 2006 : 2:14 PM EST Mon., Jan. 12, 2004: http://www.crn.com/sections/BreakingNews/dailyarchives.asp?ArticleID=47165 I'm sorry but I don't think this is a good decision at all. On the one hand they do the right thing and take out TS in application mode on our domain controllers, and then on the other hand they continue to support Win98. Makes it a little hard for me to stand up here and say "Microsoft gets security" when they will continue to support a platform that has none until Longhorn comes out. I for one am disappointed that they caved in to customer response. Susan -- http://www.sbslinks.com/really.htm Tag: Exchange Quickie Tag: 148408

    - Exchange - Missing Attachments Hi there, We are using small business server 2000 as our email server and I am having a small problem with it. When a certain customer sends us emails with attachments, the attachments are being stripped out of the emails by exchange. e.g They sent us an email with an attachment yesterday. When I looked in the logs for the smtp virtual server on exchange it said the message was ~53K. When the user looked at the message in Outlook it said the message was 4K and the attachment was missing. I assume there is something slightly awry in the format of the emails from this particular user that is upsetting exchange when it is processing the email. Has anyone had this problem and any suggestions as to how I might solve ? Is there a way of capturing what the smtp server sees for an email before it flows into the bowels of exchange never to be seen again in it's original smtp format ? To work around this problem we have been having this customer send email to people's hotmail/yahoo mail accounts. They don't seem to have a problem with the email attachments from this customer.

    - Distribution list/Public Folder On one of our web sites, we have a Q&A page for customers to post questions which generates an email to the appropriate support person(s). Initially I was going to set it up so that these emails would be directed to a public folder's email address. My only problem is that if 3 (or 5 or 50) people have access to this public folder, and one person responds, how do the other people know that a response has been sent? In other words, is there a way to have responses automatically stored and tracked (like message threads) in this public folder? Thanks, kw Tag: Exchange Quickie Tag: 148375

    - Additional firewall in front of ISA? I'd appreciate a show of hands from the experts here - Do you recommend installing a separate firewall device in between a dual-homed SBS2000 machine running ISA and the Internet? I am very impressed with ISA, and support 8 SBS sites without the 2nd firewall, but I am becoming paranoid that if somehow ISA is compromised, the entire network will be open for the world to see. Thanks in advance for your input! Mike Tag: Exchange Quickie Tag: 148372

Hi, I have a SBS2K server with windows 2K client machines connected to it.
Basically the question I have is. Is it possible to have multiple mail
stores within Exchange 2000?
We have 3 different companies and I want to use the mailbox manager to miss
out certain users.
I have tried to use the filter but it seems to do what it wants to do
instead of what I ask, so I am wondering if I can set up multiple mail
stores to different managing procedures.

If anyone can help it would be great.
Thanks in advance

Because you have SBS you are limited to only one store.

I dont have an answer for you but maybe there will be
