    - Exchange Services Failing to Start Three of the Exchange Services (MTA Stacks, Information Store and System Attendant) fail to start on reboot of a Windows 2000 SBS machine. Does anyone know what may cause these three services to fail to start? They can be started manually. If left set to Automatic start in the services list they fail to restart on next reboot. The Application Event Log contains several errors in relation to the Metabase Update service failing to start. The machine is the DC in a small network with no other servers or networks involved.

    - upgrading to dynamic disks I have a server with two hard drives fitted. One is configured with two primary partitions (C, and D), the other is unpartitioned. I want to upgrade to dynamic disks so that I can create a mirror set. Will the conversion to dynamic disks affect the data on my disk or the partitions? Any help appreciated.

    - Access Problems Logging to SBS2000 Server Anybody please help me. I have a problem of a user named Dorji logging onto a SBS2000 server (drukfood) from a Windows XP computer(Client) of being unable to get accessed to the network facilities giving the following error messages: \\drukfood is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permission. But a user named Dorji can log-on to the network without any problem from any other computers other than this Windows XP computer. Further, any other users can use this windows XP computer to log-on to the network but the problem is only with Dorji from this computer. Therefore, anybody, could you please help me to sort out this problem, I would be highly grateful to you. Thanking you, with best regards, Chewang Dorji Tag: Exchange server problems Tag: 122457

    - Connecting to Remote SQL I attempting to connect an XP Proffessional Client to a Remote SQL. The XP machine is on a SBS 2000 network. I have read previous messages and have successfully Defined a Protocol Created a Rule that deploys the protocol Created an Outward bound Packet Filter. The forth step as I understand is too ======== Use the SQL Client Network Utility to define an Alias for the remote server, making sure you specify TCP/IP as the connection type, and specify port 1433, don't leave it on dynamic. ======== The SBS server does not have SQL installed, so there is no utility? The question(s) are Is there another way of doing the above? Do I have to do it at all, if there is no SQL installed or Do I have to install SQL to get past this point?

    - Clients not able to login - licensing question. I have a client with a SBS2K server and 10 CALS. They also have 10 workstations and 1 could often not log on. I figured it was just running out of CALS every now and again so we purchased 5 more CALS, so now we have 15 CALS with 10 PC's. The problem still occurs though. After a lengthy site visit I found out I'd get to 9 PC's logging on fine and then the 10th would not log on. If I log 1 PC off then the 10th PC can get on but the PC I logged off can't log on anymore. I have restarted the server and down all PC's twice, removed WINS and DNS from the DHCP options. I have also reapplied W2K SP3 with no success. I'm not putting SP4 on due to problems with it. Does any1 have any ideas on why it's not letting more than 9 users on when I have more than enough CALs? All PC's are Windows 98SE. I haven't tried it with a Windows 2000/XP machine yet. The server is not connected to the internet in any way. It does simple file sharing and that's all (not even print sharing). Tag: Exchange server problems Tag: 122399

    - Newbie SBS 4.5 Migration I have to migrate a single server SBS 4.5 installation to a 2 server installation. The second server will be running SQL Server 2000 exclusively. The first server will be running exchange and providing fax services for the network. Essentially I am splitting the SBS functions over two servers to maximize the performance of SQL server. SQL Server 2000 seems to require a server Windows Server so I guess I'll have to run that on the second machine. The first machine will either run SBS 2000 or Windows Server 2000, depending upon whether I can get the shared fax facilities in Windows Server 2000. If that 's the case, then I'll just run that and Exchange without any SBS overhead. Any comments on the above would be helpful. Especially those that might recommend a direction to go in and a means of migrating from SBS 4.5 with a minimum of pain. I know MS has some knowledge base materials on SBS 4.5-2000 migration but I haven't found any that refers to SBS to Windows Server + Exchange migration. Thanks for your help. Robin.

    - SBS2k CALs cover Win2003 server??? Since Win2k3 came out many of us (including me) have been saying that SBS CALs do not cover additional Win2k3 servers... maybe we are wrong. I have stumbled across this today... and I would like your comments on this: http://www.microsoft.com/australia/partner/productsinfo/technologyupdate/archive/whyaddwinserver2003.asp "The SBS 2000 CAL covers you for additional Windows 2000 servers, but here's something you probably didn't know - it also covers you for Windows Server 2003 servers. As far as I know, this hasn't been officially documented anywhere, but you print this out and keep it in safe place for future reference. Don't just bookmark it - I can come back and edit this out later, then deny all knowledge of it." I mean... it's from MS right??? Enough legal support? -Javier Tag: Exchange server problems Tag: 122368

    - Services not starting HAve just rebooted an SBS2k server and have the event log full of errors. I can still access the server remotely by TS. Majority of main services are not running including exchange and web proxy and the server is taking ages to restart and login. When I enter the event viewer I can't open individual events to see more details on the errors. The same is true when looking at the services. Although I can stop some that are running I can't open their properties. Event log consists of mainly 'Service Control Manager' errors 7005, 7024 and 7023 to start with after a reboot together with DHCP 1006 and 1008. Anyone help get this up and running before the morning? -- Thanx Julian Tag: Exchange server problems Tag: 122339

    - ISA help please This may sound odd, but I think my server is picking on me. We have SBS2000 with 4 Win2K Pro and 1 XP-Pro clients on our network. Until recently all users were able to access the internet just fine, but now my server has decided that the user on the XP machine can not. This applies only to one uswr on the XP machine though, when logging on as Administrator from this machine all is well. Hence, this one user is blocked from internet access, getting the following error message every time IE is opened: 403 Forbidden - The ISA Server denies the specified Uniform Resource Locator (URL). (12202) Internet Security and Acceleration Server I have searched for restrictions in the ISA snap in, as well as in the AD user listing for this user, but I can not find a thing.

    - Mac's on Networks - how to get pop mail? I have a fairly unique situation. SBS running a company, exchange hosting their mail, all using PC's - hunky dory. I have a division of that company using some Macs, with a different mail address requiring POP mail access and access to the same files on the server. PC's have no problem with 2 profiles in outlook & Mac's have no problem logging into network for internet & file access. Problem I have is how to get pop mail access on Mac OSX without resorting to VirtualPC (no budget!). I can add smtp mail to their existing profiles and use outlook for mac, but sending mail reverts to the exchange.local default outgoing email address. POP mail clients on mac (entourage, OE, IEmail) all fail to permit POP mail. Please help & email me direct if necessary. Thanks Tag: Exchange server problems Tag: 122326

    - Licensing Questions My client has SBS2000 installed at their main office, 30 employees. The client also has several remote offices, with 3-5 employees at each location. We have installed Firewall to Firewall VPN with one remote office to the main office for file transfer. The remote offices all use either POP3 or OWA to access email. My questions are: 1. How is a VPN connection "counted" regarding to licensing? The Firewall-to-Firewall connection is one connection with 2 users behind the remote firewall (peer- to-peer networked). Does the IPSec VPN connection affect licensing different than the PPTP VPN connection? 2. Given a fast VPN connection, we are considering switching from retrieving email through the POP3 server and using the Exchange server for the remote users. Does this change the licensing/VPN connection as well? Thanks, Brenda Tag: Exchange server problems Tag: 122317

    - licensing and browsing I am having several issues with a new SBS2000 installation. One problem is that at various times certain workstations (if not all workstations) cannot browse the domain. The SBS2K box can always browse the domain. For all computers other than the SBS box, the domain is listed under "Microsoft Windows Network" but no computers are listed under it. Clicking the domain does nothing (does not produce any error messages either). This server is in a "production" environment, so I am not able to reboot it at will, but I believe that previous reboots have made browsing possible for a limited amount of time. I have a second Win2000 server (that I think I would like to also be a master browser) that I have promoted to DC that periodically gets the "The browser service has failed to retrieve the backup list too many times on transport \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{<big GUID-looking number>}. The backup browser is stopping." error. Drives mapped to shares on either server (from any workstation or server) seem to function normally. I am also having a licensing problem, so I am wondering if it is related to the browsing issue. I am periodically getting the "The product Windows Server is out of licenses. Use License Manager from the Administrative Tools folder for more information on which users are out of compliance and how many licenses should be purchased." error message on the SBS2K machine. I have 25 CALs (the normal 5 plus a 20 CAL add pack) with less than 25 client computers (including the second Win2K server) in the network. Most clients are XP pro (SP1). There are 4 Win2K pro (SP4) machines and two NT4 (SP6) machines. All Win2K computers in the network have SP4 and I do not use Veritas backup software, so the licensing issues related to these products should not apply. Clicking "about" from the SBS administrator console does indeed show 25 as the number of licenses. License Manager on the second Win2K server shows: --Purchase history is completely blank. --(On the Products view tab) Windows server as having 0 "per seat purchased", 30 "per seat allocated", 0 "per server purchased", and -5 "per server reached"; Microsoft BackOffice is all zeros. --(On the Clients (Per Seat) tab) All domain users are listed with a 1 for "Unlicensed Usage" and a 0 for "Licensed Usage"; all "computers" (with a $ appended to the name) are also listed with a 1 under "Unlicensed Usage". I think the 30 "per seat allocated" listed on the Products view tab is related to this because the sum of the users and "computers" (with a $ on the end) is 30. Each client workstation is evidently being counted twice -- once for the user and once for the "computer". --At various times, the browsing difficulty mentioned above prevents me from seeing any computers on the Server Browser tab, but when it is visible, the SBS2K shows "per server" mode for 30 concurrent connections. I'm not sure where this "30" is coming from unless somehow it is adding the 25 from the SBS2K with the 5 that come with standard Win2K server. --I attempted to create a license group, but it appeared to do nothing more than change the icon next to the users from a head to a yellow warning (exclamation mark) symbol. I also attempted to "add" licenses. License manager accepted my input (I received no error messages), but the Purchase History tab is still blank. I don't remember ever selecting "per server" mode during the SBS installation. I know I wouldn't have consciously selected "per server" because I want both servers to be in "per seat" mode. Can SBS2K operate in "per seat" mode? I thought that it could because I have read that the SBS2K CALs allow clients to connect to other Win2K servers in the same domain without the need for addition Win2K server CALs. If SBS2K can operate in "per seat" mode, and if my SBS2K box is in "per server" mode, how do I change it to "per seat" (license manager and license applet in control panel do not work in SBS)? Any help would be MUCH appreciated. TIA, Kevin Tag: Exchange server problems Tag: 122313

    - VPN & PCAnywhere problem I have a SBS that people log into through the VPN. However, when people are logged in through the VPN they cannot use the PCAnywhere or even ping that computer. I have tried pinging the client computer and I can't reach it through my client; however, I can ping it from the main server. The VPN client is coming in on IP x.1.x.x, however all the local clients in the lan are x.0.x.x. I'm not sure if this means anything. If anyone could suggest anything it would be greatly appreciated.

    - sbs 2000 migrating exchange.... I have a SBS 2000 that is running exchange on it. The server is old and is running on it's last leg. I have another box that I have loaded 2000 server on it. I have kept the new server as a workgroup and I have connected it to the network. On the old machine, I have mapped a drive to the new machine and I am trying to use the exchange migration wizard and it's not allowing me to migrate the directory to the new folder on the new drive. I would love to have all of the data moved to the new server and keep the same ip address as the old. I have read the article on 'How to Upgrade SBS 4.X to SBS 2000 on a new computer'. Can anyone help??? Tag: Exchange server problems Tag: 122249

    - Backup Script Hi, Quick ?..... Have two servers currently. 1. SBS2000 used for normal SBS operation....exchange, SQL, file/print server. And then 2nd member server which runs a script every hour to copy all file from sbs2000 server that has changed in the last hour. However using the Xcopy script that I have made as time goes by the 2nd servers drives fill up because it does not compare the two it just adds the files but if I for instance archive something and delete it is still there. Although sometimes this can come in handy my drive is not infinite. Is there a better way of doing this or a utitlty that will compare the files from each server?

    - OWA on seperate server I have read on this site, it is not recommended to run OWA on the SBS box. We have a seperate Win2k server that we use to run our company website. (using a ISA publishing rule.) Would it be a good idea to move the OWA to this seperate server? Does anyone know of any instructions on how to do this (i.e. install OWA on a webserver?). We currently have OWA on the SBS box. Do I just need to recreate the webfolders in IIS (pointing them to the proper exchange folders)? In the end I want to purchase a Https certificate. If I have both sites on the same server can they share the same certificate? Thanks Tag: Exchange server problems Tag: 122240

    - Migrating email OK...finally got the go ahead to make the migration for my client's email from MailMax on their old server to Exchange on the SBS box I built for them. Old server is its own domain, has MailMax 4.8 on it and the clients use Outlook and OE to connect to it. They pull the email down, and it is deleted from the host. There is a fairly cheesy map of the network layout here: http://www.3nf-inc.com/ccc_network_map.htm Would moving the email be as simple as running the ICW, specifying mydomain.com as the address, and re-routing the mail ports to the SBS IP address? Just trying to make sure I don't miss a step and hose their systems... Exchange is currently running just fine for internal emails, but they are not using it. Very novice users here...I'm the entire IT department. :-) Any and all advice, links, etc is appreciated.

    - Mail services stopping frequently Hi all; I have a Small Business Server supporting 35 clients, fully patched, and the mail services stop on thier own, without warning. No pattern, no preceeding events in the application or system logs, they just stop. Typically, it involves the W3 service, Exchange routing, smtp, pop3, nntp, imap, all the core Exchange services. I have all the services set to auto- restart, but this is not enough... when they decide to take a powder, down it comes. They will restart manually. At one point, it was executing a .CMD file on third failure, but it has stopped doing that now. Any idea? Thanks, Troy at seabird dot ca Tag: Exchange server problems Tag: 122205

    - How to manage client upgrades from the Server Hi Excuse me for my ignorance on this issue but I have just taken over a domain where the clients do not have internet access (this is something I have never encountered before). Now because the client computers do not have internet access I want to utilize the SBS function of managing the software upgrades to the clients and load all the windows updates onto the server. This part I got and they are all sitting waiting for loading to the clients. Now we have the problem that as soon as you double click on any of the .exe's in the update files I get an error message saying that they are not valid win32 applications and it bombs out. Help! How do I effectively manage all the updates from one specific point? Any help would be appreciated. Jules Tag: Exchange server problems Tag: 122184

In SBS Admin Console (Back Office Manager) only
the 'Shares..' produces any info in the right screen.
The 'To Do List' window comes up blank; click
on 'Users', 'Security Groups' etc, and the Right window
stays blank, and the status line reads
'Query Failed'.

'Server Status' gives no info

Exchange server dead; services all appear to be running
but if click on properties, nothing happens. try close
services window, message comes up saying 'close properties
window', which is difficult since there arn't any visible.
Force closure via Task Manager.
Looking at other postings, it may be that others have
similar problems. AV = McAffee enterprise version.
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks....
