    - cant send internet email Users can receive mail but cannot send email to external addresses. They can send to everyone internally. When clicking "send and receive" from an outlook client an error is returned that says "the tcp/ip connection was unexpectedly terminated" . This started to occur after a linksys router was reset to factory defaults. After being reset the router came back online with an address that conficted with the SBS server. (192.168.1.1) SBS displayed a message about a conflicting ipaddress and the router was taken back offline and set to its previous address. (192.168.1.5) Then everything was working except external email. Any ideas ? thanks ! Tag: Exchange taking 720MB RAM Tag: 149718

    - can't retrieve POP3 email Hi We have on person in our company who works from home. They retrieve their email via POP3. Everything will be fine and then for some reason, they stop receiving email. If they close down outlook and reopen it, it still won't work. They have to log onto OWA, view/delete an item and then their POP3 account starts to work again. I have no idea what could be the cause. It's as if one of the emails blocks/clogs the process so no new emails can download. Once this email is gone, the process starts to work again. The rest of the people in the office use SMTP and don't experience this. I'm not sure if it is the client PC or the Exchange server or how to even trouble shoot this problem. Does anyone have any ideas? Tag: Exchange taking 720MB RAM Tag: 149704

    - Explorer - Can't view server Drive D Weird problem. Using windows explorer (my computer or similar), I can see my C and D drive, get their properties, etc. I can click on the C drive and see all folders OK. If I do the same on the D drive, the folder tree expands, then hangs with the egg timer, then shuts down the explorer window dumping me at the desktop. I cannot get to the files on the Drive D, except those that have shares and those can only be accessed from other PCs using the nework. This is messing up backups, causing A/V software to crash, etc. Server is SBS2K fully patched. I've disabled A/V software, tried running in Safe Mode, problem repeats. I don't have any RAID systems - drive is only 18GB SCSI formated NTFS. I cant see anything in the MS KBs. Anyone any ideas? Tag: Exchange taking 720MB RAM Tag: 149700

    - User folder issue / Viewing graphics in a TS session Question 1: Within each individual users folder that is created on the SBS 2000, there is a folder called "windows" and a file called "wind but am not sure what they are for ? If they are important Can I secure them from being deleted by a user ? Hide them ? Question 2: I cannot block internet access to a basic user, even though I have removed them from the BOIU group. Not sure why ? Question 3: Is there any way of increasing the screen resolution for a TS session because any jpegs, PDF's containing graphics or excel spreadsheets containing jpegs, that I try and view thru a TS session look absolutely rubbish. Can I do anything about this or would I have to install Excel on a workstation and view the spreadsheets in question as a fat client ? Best Regards Antony Tag: Exchange taking 720MB RAM Tag: 149698

    - SBS2000 & AOL email addresses Right new problem for you guys, I know it's a bit similar to some earlier ones but I still need some help. First the system layout. SBS2000 and a number of PCs on a network. Internet access is through a 3com ISDN Lan modem, on which I have put the ISP DNS entries, that is connected to the rest of the network through a hardware firewall. Internet access via our ISP, BT, and mail hosted elsewhere, bit odd but thats the way things have grown up. Internet and email all seem to work well, POP3 and SMTP connectors all doing their jobs well, except, Sometimes we get rejected emails when sending to some external contacts that have AOL accounts. Sometimes they get through but mostly they get rejected. Now I have read the earlier posts about PTR records and am wondering whether I need to set one up but where at the ISP or where our mail is hosted. Any thoughts or help gratefully received.

I'm an alumni and all that so I ping James to ping Sean. Long story short I'll probably be giving a presentation on Security to some college kids in March. I think the first thing I'll ask is how many have firewalls turned on. Wonder how many "yes!" I'll get?

    - Opening POP3 port Hi there I have a customer who wants to be able to access her exchange email with her mobile phone. I was thinking that one way to do it would be to open the POP3 port to the SBS2000 Server so that her mobile phone would be able to log into the pop3 server and check it that way. I just want some opinions on wether it is a good idea to be opening POP3 or not. I am guessing not but I just want to see if I am being paranoid. Thanks heaps Daniel.

    - NEWBIE: VPN problems - no response from server? Hi All, I am having problems setting up VPN. I have configured my SBS2000 server according to Mariette Knaps 'How do I configure the server for remote access with VPN' on smallbizserver.net. The server uses a Netgear DG834 ADSL router and this is set up to allow VPN PPTP on port 1723 both in and out. I have set up my remote XP client at home according to KB 314076 (Configure a connection to a VPN in Windows XP) with PPTP as the type of VPN. When I try to connect from my home PC (with both the XP firewall and my zone alarm disabled). I get a 'connecting to the IP address' then a 'verifying username and password'. After that it times out and I just get a Windows error 721 'the remote computer did not respond' If I check the 'IP packet filters' in ISA there is no port listed for PPTP (although there is one listed 1701 for LTP2). I am using Windows XP home do I need to upgrade to Pro.? Thanks guys for any help. Cheers, David Tag: Exchange taking 720MB RAM Tag: 149623

    - BackupExec 9.1 free for 9.0 users? Hi - bit confused (well, looking at the Veritas site, who wouldn't be...) - is v9.1 a free download for 9.0 users? Seems to have a bit of extra functionality. And if so, anyone had any bad experiences on install?? Thanks Tag: Exchange taking 720MB RAM Tag: 149604

Noticed that one of my SBS2K that has 35 users on it the store.exe process is taking 720MB of RAM (out of 1GB). This seems like alot....Is this normal for exchange to use this amount for so few users? Any idea on why it's taking so much

Thx.

Don't stress.
Like a lot of programmes, exchange will grab as much RAM as it can at the
outset, but will yield as much as possible when another application
requests/needs it.

Hi Rob, YEP it is by design Exchange releases when progs call for RAM.

Some pointers though...Make sure fully patched, I find hfnetchk very good
http://www.shavlik.com/pDownloadForm4.aspx

Also make sure antivirus doesn't scan the M drive and dont back it up
either.
