New SBS 2000 upgrade from SBS 4.5
Hi everyone,
I have a SBS 4.5 on site and want to upgrade SBS2000
now. I tried to follow the white paper from microsoft that
how to upgrade a brand new server to SBS 2000.
I have a old server runs SBS 4.5 and I have a new dell
server install SBS 2000 with workgroup now. My frist
question is when I join the new server to the domain now,
and since the MS white paper said it should join my new
server with workgroup, so I can transfer all of the data
from my old server to the new one such as the pri.edb and
pub .edb by exmerge. However, if I runs the Exchange 2000
with my SBS 2000 which already have Active dirctory
install, then how can my new server join the domain with
workgroup then??
Second, since my new server runs AD now, but somehow I
want to change my server name to other, can I run
dcpromo.exe from SBS 2000 like Windows 2000 server does??
Thank you for all advice. Thank you very much. Tag: spam post deleted Tag: 139322
too many open tcp ports
According to a certified partner vendor, I have an
unusally high number of open tcp ports. When running the
netstat -a command the list is quite long compared to my
other servers. We have had some virus and security issues
recently.
My vendor needs port number 1500 to listen in their
program, but can not get it to open. They believe the
large number of open ports is the cause.
What do I do to reduce the ports open to normal range? Tag: spam post deleted Tag: 139314
Exchange ?
Hi all. I have been gifted with the install of W2k SBS at
our new company. I know a fair amount about setting up a
LAN, but nothing about Exchange. SBS is installed, T1 is
setup and we have internet access, we can send/recieve
mail locally, can send mail to the outside but can't
recieve it. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

problem sending faxes
hi all;
we have an sbs2000 with exchange and we decided to install and use the fax
server too.
our problem is that our clients cannot send faxes although they print
directly to the shared fax. the fax-modem dials but we always receive a
transmission error from the fax device we are calling. (we tried it on many
other devices too) by the way we have no problems in receiving faxes.
does the fax server use any special transmission method which can be changed
anywhere in the program.
any ideas would be appreciated. thanks

Backup Exchange Server
Hi all
I would like to offer my clients a backup exchange service so if their site
goes down I can switch their MX dns record over to my server.
My clients are all using SBS2000 and I am as well. Is there an easy way for
me to set this up? I can envision setting their accounts on my server for
mail delivery, but dont know how I can get it all back onto their server
when things on their end go back up.
I know some DNS providors offer this service, but if I can offer it from my
end then thats even better (free too).
Thoughs?

Clients having problems with POP3 email.
I'm running SBS 2000 and all of my clients have email send/recieve errors.
We tried switching providors but that doesn't seem to do the trick. When
they are recieveing mail its almost as if the server times out if there are
a lot of messages in the box or large messages. Does anyone know of anything
that I can check to resolve this issue?

HELP!!! DNS issues, and How_to_Configure DNS_to_host_A_site_on_the_server
Hi! I've been having DNS errors show in the ICW log that I believe is
preventing ICW to configure the Internet Connections (Comes up with error
"Unable to Configure Internet Connection Settings"). When I look at the
log, it refers to DNS forwarders. So I was following the article
http://www.smallbizserver.net/SBS2000/How_to_configure_DNS_to_host_a_site_on
_the_server.aspx and the second screen only has 3 options:
Active Directory Integrated
Standard Primary (defaulted)
Standard Secondary.
I have two servers: the sbs dc and a win2kserver member server. Is there
another article I should follow, or which of the 3 options should I take?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Adding SQL Server After Initial Install
There must be a simple way to do this. I am new to Small
Business Server so I don't have any experience with this
issue. I worked with someone to install Small Business
Server 2000 for a client a couple of months ago, and at
the time we elected to not install SQL Server. I now need
to add it. I've run the install wizard but its not
proceeding with the install of SQL Server after I select
it. Can anyone out there give me some easy guidance on
adding SQL Server now? Tag: spam post deleted Tag: 139302
SBS 2003 intranet
I freshly intalled SBS 2003 RC and the intranet failed to
install. Errorlog.txt shows something about unable to
get regkey, and setup.log shows "an error ocurred while
setting up sharepoint team services and creating your
intranet site".
More info: The IIS shows the companyweb, but the
inetpub/companyweb folder is empty. There's only one NIC
with a static internal IP, the 3 workstations in the LAN
are static IP, the DHCP client and server are disabled.
The domain is a <mycompany>.com (this was my choice),
there is a hardware router/firewall, and the same machine
hosts other websites but relying on external
nameservers. SQL Server 2000 was installed later as a
separate instance. I tried to delete some registry keys
as suggested in a posting, remove sharepoint, remove MSDE
for sharepoint, then re-install, but I got the same
result. The administrator name had been changed, but
I've just run gpupdate.
Shall I try reinstalling after running gpupdate?
Any recommendations?

OWA and permissions
I have had OWA working succesfully for several months. I have recently
added my account to exchange and want to use OWA to access my mail. I enter
user name and password (which I know is correct) and it comes straight back

I am a member of Administrators group. HTTP is enabled for my acocunt.
Can anyone suggest a reason for this not working?

No access after adding router
I added a router to my SBS setup yesterday following the
instructions found on smallbizserver.net. Everything
worked fine as far as sending e-mail and accessing the
internet. But now I cannot receive any e-mails and the
VPN's and Terminal services I was using to access other
servers in remote locations does not work. I tried
changing the settings on the router to no avail ( such as
turning of the firewall in the router and seting a DMV).
I assume this has to do with port forwarding?
Thanks!

Song of the Week - Nov 1, 2003
Gosh, is it already November 1st? It was exactly 14 years ago that I left
my job with Unisys (Burroughs) Corp to go work as the IT Manager for the
regional blood center. Seems like yesterday! Speaking of which, it seems
like yesterday when I installed my first SBS2000 server, and not nearly
three years ago. Now SBS2003 is out! Time does fly.
So, in honor of all we do, we give a tip of the hat to my favorite group,
the Beatles. Unfortunately, I cannot take credit for this particular
parody -- but it was so-o-o good, I had to pass it on, with just a couple of
personal tweaks!
YESTERDAY
---------------
Yesterday,
All those backups seemed a waste of pay.
Now my database has gone away.
Oh I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly,
There's not half the files there used to be,
And there's a deadline
hanging over me
The system crashed so suddenly.
I pushed something wrong
What it was I could not say.
Now all my data's gone
and I long for yesterday-ay-ay-ay.
Yesterday,
The need for back-ups seemed so far away.
I knew my data was all here to stay,
Now I believe in yesterday.

"Automatic Discovery" and ISA
Hi,
I am just wondering if someone can help me? We have a SBS2000 setup
with ISA running just in cache mode and an external PIX (please no
comments about firewalls security etc). The issue has come about that
we need to enable the publishing of the ISA server proxy via auto
discovery due to the company now having a number of VPN and laptop
clients (all Secure NAT). I know how to set up Automatic Discovery and
I also know of the problem of the default port 80 conflicting with the
IIS, additionally the Auto Discovery needs to work via DNS so we
cannot change the default port in ISA. My answer was to set up two
internal IP addresses on the internal NIC and have ISA listen on the
second IP (192.168.16.8) address and remove any listening on the
standard 192.168.16.2, so that ISA and IIS could both listen to port
80. I have set up the WPAD alias and A record to point to the second
IP address
I thought this should work but when a VPN client logs in and trys to
access a web page a login prompt appears for 192.168.16.2 - should
this not be 192.168.16.8? The credentials a entered and seem to be
accepted, but no external web pages can be acessed. Why does the login
prompt appear when the user details have aready been entered via the
VPN login and why does it continue to point to 192.168.16.2 - have I
missed something?
I know our Internet gateway is configured to only allow 192.168.16.2
to access the Internet so no one can by-pass the proxy, can this be
causing the problem. If ISA server listens on 192.168.16.8 does it
also send the request out for the web page via 192.168.16.8 or
192.168.16.2 - I do not know how ISA handles this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Any Suggestions ...
Okay gang, Here is what I am encountring at the customer site:
The Situation:
--------------
The customer has MS Exchange server hosted at their ASP (Application
Service Provider). They connect to their MS Exchange through the
Internet (Cable Modem - Broad Band)using MS Outlook 2K/XP edition
fully patched and all. There are about 5 computers with WIN2K and 1
with XP Professional, all patched as well. Their MS Exchange server
is hosted behind the firewall (not sure which firewall the ASP is
using). They have a SAV GESTETNER printer which is behind the
firewall as well and hosted by the ASP. They connect to the printer
through standard TCP/IP port, therefore not through the print
server.
Now the customer wants to host their own MS Exchange, have a
firewall and VPN. I suggested SBS and they agreed. The customer
wanted to have Firewall and VPN portion done first and just
configure the MS Exchange portion and transfer the MX record later
on. I installed SBS and configured the firewall/VPN and MS Exchange.
The configuration and installation went smooth and successful.
The Network Configs:
-------------------
They wanted to keep static IP addressing and SNAT so that they can
ping because of some requirements they have because of their
development/programming enviornment. Their IP scheme is as follows:
Internal IP Address: 10.125.1.2
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 10.125.1.2
They wanted to keep it that way and didnt want to use any other IP
Scheme because thats what they have been using all the time.
Please note: MS Exchange and the SAV GESTETNER printer hosted with
ASP, NAT'd and behind the firewall.
They have encoded the MS Exchange Server and Printer's public IP
address in their host files on each computer which want to use the
MS Exchange Server and printing. Therefore they can ping with just
the host name and connect with the MS Exchange and the printer with
no problem!
The Problem:
------------
Few problems start arising after the installtion:
1) They were not able to log on to ASP hoste MS Exchange. Now it was
obvious that I needed to change the MS Exchange Server name in their
MS Outlook. So I did! I changed it from the new one (New SBS
Settings) to the old one but it still didnt work. As soon as I
change the name to their ASP hosted Exchange Server, after few
seconds it defaults back to new SBS Exchange Server!! Well I did
some work around and left the new SBS server Exchange settings as it
is and created a new profile specifying the name/settings for the
OLD ASP hosted MS Exchange! What I am thinking here is that once the
MX records are straighten up then I can delete/remove the old ASP
hosted Exchange profile. Now it worked with all computer whose OS
was WIN2K but with the one using XP Professional. It just CAN NOT
connect to the old ASP hosted Exchange server!! It just says that it
CAN NOT connect to the old ASP hosted Exchange server. Well, to work
around I put that computer to use OWA till we get the MX records
straighten up!
2) The second problem is that they can not access the SAV GESTETNER
printer. No one can print from that printer. The error message says
that the printer is disconnected! I deleted the printer and
installed it again but to no avail. Same error message.
Now I know that before SBS everything was working! I have no idea
what could have changed so that they can not print and the one XP
machine can not connect to the MS Exchange server. If anyone have
any ideas or suggestions, please let me know. I appreciate any
reply. Thanks in advance..

Internet Connection Problem
Well it's not actually an Internet Connection problem, it's a delay when
going from a non-secure page on our web site from a workstation behind our
SBS2000 Server.
We have a DSL connection with a Netopia Cayman 3546 Router (DHCP off). We
have static IP addresses, 2 NIC and have set up SBS EXACTLY as described in
http://www.sbslinks.com/sbs2000router.htm .
The most often use of the internet here is to enter orders into our web
store (www.tapeandmedia.com). The site is hosted externally at a datacenter
in NJ, we are in CT.
The problem is: when entering orders, when we go from a non-secure page to
a secure page to enter credit card info, the page seems to stall while
loading and takes 20-30 seconds to load. This does not happen at other
locations and it does not happen if I plug my laptop directly into the
router.
I have spent hours with tech support of our DSL service and have found no
problems with their service.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Has anyone else had a similar
problem?

ISA - IP Address setting for External NIC (2nd)
Setting up a router (which is connected to a switch) for access to the

I know I have to set up the router first, with its information from the ISP
(DHCP PPPoE). My question is what external IP address do I use for the 2nd
NIC?

2) use the same as the router or
3) assign a new external address? if so what is the

Set up OS/RAID
I have a small company-2 remote offices and 11
workstations with the server in one office. We utilize
Access and SQL databases for most all of our data, part
of which is website generated.
I have a server which currently has 5 drives-4 are in a
RAID5 array and 1 is hot spare. I was recently told that
having the OS on that array really slows down the SQL
performance.
I am not a whiz on this so does anybody have any better
suggestions. I can add one more drive to my case and
setup 1-RAID5 array and 1-RAID1 array if that might help.
Thanks for any insight.

Exchange Server problem
Hi,
We have SBS 2000 running on an IBM x232 Server. Of late,
I find that the Exchange Server stops responding to
clients and I find a lot of error message in the
Applicaton log. However, all the Exchange services remain
started. This is happening atleast once a day. If I
restart the server everything starts working fine and it
continues for another 24 hours. I have also noticed that
when this happens, I am not able to get into the details
of the events in the Event logs and when I try to close
the Event viewer I get a similar message saying
that "Close all property pages before you close Event
viewer". Please advise.

2) The second problem is that they can not access the SAV GESTETNER

OutlookXP to Exchange2k fault. incorrect user credentials being passed

Just recently got back from holidays and my wife could not log onto Exhange.
Got error "Unable to open your default mail folders. You do not have

have time to correct the fault and my wife has the ability to make computers

Citrix/TS server on SBS network
Hi all.. looking for network config options. Here is what I have
1-4 Static IP's with 1.5Mbps up/down ISP
1 Switch (10/100) 24 port
1 Hub (10/100) 24 port (currently unused)
1 SBS server (3 NIC's)
1 W2000 server (2 NIC's or more if needed)
20 clients
Here is what I want: The best network config option using the two servers
for Web, FTP and Citrix/TS.
Currently I have the SBS server acting as the router/firewall using ISA and
the Web, FTP and Citrix aps are on the second W2000 server connected only on
the Lan side. Lately we have started hosting sites with bigger traffic and
are using citrix durring the day. I feel that the SBS server is working too
hard to process all the requests (email, file services, web, firewall etc)
Is there a way to safely get the W2000 server out from behind the SBS server
even though Citrix is being used to host database apps and email from the
SBS server. (meaning the w2000 server still needs access to the Lan side of
the SBS server)(Citrix is currently accessed from botht the Wan and Lan
side)
I know there must be tonnes of info out there somewhere but my searches have
proven unsuccessful. Any direction would prove most helpfull. Tag: spam post deleted Tag: 139090
Unable to open your default email folders.
You do not have permission to log on.
Very strange here.
Just created a new SBS user and they have (as far as I can see) the same
permissions as all other users on the network..
This problem occurs when I try to open Outlook - I can't seem to work around
it, and other network program complains of not having the permissions to
access it's data files.
Other aspects seem to be fine, and the drive mapping is just dandy from what
I can see. I can access the above mentioned data files, and browse the
server, fine using explorer...
Help? :) Tag: spam post deleted Tag: 139089

PPTP - VPN stopped working
Ok, i did play with some ISA settings but i believe the 3-4 changes i did,
i reverted them back.
I have port 1723 in my Linksys forwarding to the 2nd NIC on the SBS.
I can't VPN in anymore to the SBS.
For a while it was "verifying username and password...." without any
connection,
now i don't even get that "verifying..."
I re-ran the Internet Connection Wizard, i reconfigured RRAS but still no
luck.
Any suggestions on what i could do next?
Thank you Tag: spam post deleted Tag: 139068
office licensing in an sbs network.
One of my clients is going to order 10+ new computers for their new
installation of sbs2000. Is it cheaper to go with office 2k3 pro OEM as it
comes with a new computer, or would it be cheaper to get into volume
licensing?
Thanks!!

Server DNS and 2 NIC's
Hi,
we recently reconnected our ADSL after a time of the line
being down.
We have a server with 2 nics, 1 for the internal address
(192.168.0.199) and one for the external address via
router for VPN and internet access(10.202.1.2 - gateway
10.202.1.1).
There seems to be a problem with dns in that in our
internal network when I ping server1 from our internal
address it comes up with 10.202.1.2
I have tried the fixes in microsoft articles 292822 -
disabling netbios for all RRAS connections, adding host
record for my internal server IP, and 289735 - to make the
DNS interface just listen on 192.168.0.199. but to no
avail. as soon as I connect via the vpn link, the internal
dns IP , gets overwritten by the external IP and when we
ping internally, we are seeing the wrong IP address.
Any help regarding this would be much appreciated.
Cheers,

Disk partitioning on SBS 200 install
Apologies, SBS Newbie here.......
We have been running NT 4.0 & W2K servers in house, but
are installing a new SBS 2000 server (2003 will come
later). I am wondering how best to partition 72GB of
available RAID storage. I've usually done a C:/ O/S
partition & a D:/ Data partition. With all the items
running under SBS (SQL, Exchange, Fax, Shared folders,
etc.) I wonder what the appropriate size of the C:/ drive
is. Can anyone give me some quick guidance? Tag: spam post deleted Tag: 139061
Running my own WebServer
Simple LAN one SBS with 2 NICS and an ADSL connection.
Now that I understand I can run my own WebServer using dynamic DNS I am very
keen on doing so.
I have read many people advising against doing so for security reasons
however if the following are true is there still a concern:
a) I underatnd ISA is a rock silid firewall product
b) Maintain the server fully patched constantly
c) Run up to date AV software on the server
I do not fully understand what is meant by a DMZ etc but is there a
recommended setup of connecting a WebServer to the world or will SBS as
decribed above suffice ?
Thanks

Wierd Outlook problem
Before posting here, I tried posting to some of the Outlook newsgroups, and
have received no replies.
Issue is that I have one user (Windows XP Pro with Office XP) on an SBS
network. Her Outlook is configured with NO background for her emails. Yet,
when she sends out some emails, the signature line switches to a yellow
font, and her emails go out with a background included - a very light
checkered (square) background with light blue lines.
We've gone in everywhere where we could configure or change the default
text, font and background and everything seems OK.
I found some postings via Google from some other people who have encountered
the same problem, but no real solutions. They appear to lean towards an
issue with using Microsoft WORD as the email editor.
Has anyone here seen or heard of this situation? Tag: spam post deleted Tag: 139044
Event Viewer
I get an error in the application log stating:
"Windows cannot obtain the domain controller name for your
computer network. Return value (59)".
What do I need to do to fix this problem?
It just recently started doing this. Tag: spam post deleted Tag: 139042
Error List Includes
I know there is a lot here but maybe it will help
someone. These error messages repeat until they fill the
Application Event Log. Any advice is helpful. Right now
I am downloading SBS2000 SP1a for deployment. Hopefully,
if I hear nothing else, this might fix things.
Many Thanks Prior,
Paul
