    - Canon IR3300i and SBS Well, this one has me stumped. I have a canon ir3300 connected to a small business server. It prints well, no problems. The issue is with the scanning. When I set up the one-touch button for the scanning project, it gives me the chance to choose between sbs or ftp. Choosing sbs, I am allowed on the printer to scan the network. When I scan the network, I can see the sbs server as well as all the workstations on the network. I can browse directly to any workstation shares, and sucessfully scan to it. However, when I try to browse the sbs server, it prompts me for authentication. When I enter the admin user name and password, it comes back with an error that the user name and password are invalid and it cannot connect. Using the same user name and password, I can connect directly to the server. Any suggestions? Thanks. Allan Geary allangeary@senditstore.com Tag: Exchange timing out Tag: 178818

    - XP Clients with SBS2000 I've upgraded 4 of our users to XP pro, and somehow I keep making a mess of configuring the client PC. This is the procedure I just followed for another new (out of the box Dell) PC: At the SBS box add a new user, JohnDoe and a new computer JohnD. At the client box first start up, during XP installation/configuration give the username, JohnDoe, and the computer name, JohnD. The client PC then starts up as local user, JohnDoe. I then follow KB316418 to join the XP client to the SBS domain, for example MYDOMAIN. Re-boot the client PC, this time logging on as JohnDoe on MYDOMAIN. Again follow KB316418 to install the firewall client. At this time I get Error 1925 - insufficient priviledges. In the client PC User Accounts I note that user JohnDoe is only a member of the JohnD domain, so I create another user JohnDoe, member of MYDOMAIN, standard user group. Re-boot the PC and log on again as JohnDoe. Still have error 1925 when I try to install the FW client. Log off JohnDoe and log on as Administrator on JohnD. This time the FW client installs OK. Log off Administrator and log on as JohnDoe on MYDOMAIN. Internet access is forbidden. In the client PC User Accounts I change JohnDoe to Administrators group. Internet access is now possible. So I get there in the end, but it is all a bit laborious, and I'm not happy about making my user a local Administrator - or is that a necessary step? Question - is there a slicker method of arriving where I want to be? Regards Tag: Exchange timing out Tag: 178812

    - Remote Desktop Connection to branch network failing We're trying to hook up our workstations to a branch site. I've set up a connection one the server as a persistant connection to the branch via VPN (L2TP) which is connected fine. This I've done under RRAS as a new interface. I can connect to the two servers on the remote network using RDC but only from the server. I cannot connect from any of the workstations on my home network. I have set up static routes to the two servers I need and these are directed to use the branch interface. I'm totally stuck as to why these aren't working. If I tracert one of the remote servers from a workstation I can reach the server but then the connection times out. Any and all help most appreciated. Mike Tag: Exchange timing out Tag: 178808

    - conflicts with WAP on LAN Our network is setup as follows: DSL modem --> Sonicwall Firewall/Router --> 24-port 10/100/1000Base-T Switch --> [cat5 to each workstation] Currently we are trying to install a WAP in one of our offices to provide our on site programmer with the ability to send/receive data from a Dell Axim PDA to any of our workstations. The WAP is a Linksys WRT54G which happens to double as a 4-port switch. Our mission is to replace the 4-port hub we currently have in that office with this WAP/switch. As of right now the WAP/switch is hooked up to a Cat5 wall outlet properly and my laptop, the programmer's laptop, and the PDA can all ping the WAP. All wireless devices can also ping the other two workstations hard wired into the ports on the switch. So basically, any and all devices contained in that specific office can talk to each other fine. Where the problem lies is in the fact that we cannot connect to any of the workstations outside of that office. Any suggestions? //markus Tag: Exchange timing out Tag: 178795

    - Reinstalling SQL 2000 from SBS 2003 - HELP I am trying to reinstall SQL 2000 on a SBS 2003 Premium system. I do not want to have to reinstall the entire system, just SQL 2000.

    - Moving INstallation I have just purchased SBS 2003 and am looking to install in the next couple of days. In the mean time, I have an extra Dell PowerEdge server that I want to install my current SBS 2000 on so I will have as little downtime as possible. I will install SBS 2003 on my new server as the other works for now. Problem is I am not allowed to add my cals without calling Microsoft and getting a password. I am doing exactly what the technical support file on the CAL disk says to do. I just called Microsoft and the lady I taked to says I have to pay for the technical support. All I need is the password for the reinstall of the CAL's. I have a 20 CAL disk and a 5 CAL disk. Am I calling the wrong group or can I do it online. Any help would be great.

    - SMTP connector unavailable I have a client running SBS 2000 with a dynamic IP address. I have repeatedly tried to get this converted to static but no one will listen to me. Naturally, outbound e-mail is a problem. I tried using a smarthost for all the outbound e-mail, but the outbound mail queue would get stuck until I switched it back to DNS. But when I use DNS, then AOL and others get cranky because it's a dynamic IP. Finally, I set up a second SMTP connector just for AOL and its ilk, leaving everything else on DNS. I had about one or two dozen domains on the smarthost. This seemed to work for a long time, but yesterday the client called complaining that the e-mail routed through the smarthost was not making it out. When we look at the status of the smarthost SMTP connector, it shows "unavailable." Right-clicking on it and starting it releases the mail, but shortly afterward the connector goes down again. The smarthost (a cable ISP) pings okay, and I was able to set up Outlook Express on the server with an account at the ISP, which worked fine. I need at a minimum that the smarthost connector resets itself it it goes down so that the mail eventually goes out. Where do I go from here? Tag: Exchange timing out Tag: 178749

    - Connector for POP3 Mailboxes service terminated unexpectedly We're running SBS2000 with all of the latest service packs and updates available from the Microsoft Update site. The other day our server logged the following event The Microsoft Connector for POP3 Mailboxes service terminated unexpectedly. Event ID 7031. Whenever the service is restarted, it stops again about 7 minutes later. No other services are affected and no other events are logged - I've turned up the POP3 logging to maximum. Our server is unable to run the POP3 service long enough to download all of our mail - so we don't get any - its all still in our ISPs mailbox. I've scanned for viruses and nothing found. Any help with fixing this would be greatly appreciated. Tag: Exchange timing out Tag: 178745

    - SBS 2000 Computer Name When the SBS 2000 Server was originally setup, the PC's were joined to MYCOMPANY.COM ... this was used only for local Exchange Address books; there was no actual MYCOMPANY.COM. Now though there is a Web Site and we are experiencing multiple (DNS?) problems (slow logins, intermittent internet, etc.). Is this because of the naming convention, or (I suspect) malware? The only way to get the Internet to work properly is to input the ISP DNS address in the DNS properties instead of the SBS NIC, and the SBS keeps losing its shares. Thx in advance Tag: Exchange timing out Tag: 178740

Now here's the kicker.... My ISP thought there was some virus comgin from our server last weekend...so I scanned the server with Symantec Corp Edition AV. I can not tell you if email had stopped before or after that scan...but when I was researching the SMTP problem I found out what a bad idea that is on a server that is running Exchange. File level scans on the M drive are not good....apparently. So I looked at the default scan settings and the M drive is in there...so it was scanned. So I thought maybe the scan corrupted something so I did the reinstall of IIS and Exchange. No change. So something could still be broke by that scan?? Or SMTP could be blocked by ISA?? My ISP says they did not block port 25 coming out (even though thety did that a long time ago when the server was an open relay). Any Ideas? thanks, Jim Tag: Exchange timing out Tag: 178731

    - DNS server assignment... We have a Win2K small business server and a member win2K3 DC in our environment acting as a backup DC. All PC's in our LAN have been assigned the IP address of the SBS machine for the "Preferred DNS server" and have been assigned the IP address of the backup DC machine for the "Alternate DNS server" setting. Recently I heard that the DNS addresses for all PC's should be an outside machine - not an internal one. Now I am second guessing myself! Am I correct in having all machines on the LAN being assigned our SBS machine as DNS server or should I have an outside as secondary and leave the SBS as primary? And, if I did this, how would PC's know what machine to get logon credentials from etc... if the SBS machine goes down??? (that's why I have the backup DC as the secondary DNS - and it works well) What should I be doing? Thanks, Brad Tag: Exchange timing out Tag: 178706

Choose 'Switch To' to activate the busy program and correct the problem I then have 3 options 'SwitchTo', 'Retry' or 'Cancel' No matter what option I try I just end up with the same message - Server Busy Once I've tried to open the Server Management Console, the whole of the START menu is unavailable - meaning that I can click on the START button (or press the windows key) but nothing happens. The only way I can get any response is to reboot. Even then I struggle to get into other applications: Am trying to open Network connections, but whichever way I try the window will not open. Have tried via the START menu and via My computer | Control panel Other symptoms is that the server seems very slow. Task Mgr performance shows server running at between 47% - 100% yet I have little running in the way of Applications. Task Mgr Processes shows highest peak memory usage by W3Proxy.exe, Svchost.exe, DriverServer.ex (yes .ex - whatever that is?), sqlservr.exe and LSASS.EXE I've ran Panda and cleaned the odd item found. Have tried to run TrendMicro clean but application gets so far and then hangs, before even starting to scan. Norton reports everything ok virus wise. Although have now noticed that I can't get into the Symantec System Centre anymore. Dispite these issues on the server the network itself seems ok, users are not complaining as yet! Grateful for any assistance - Thanks Tag: Exchange timing out Tag: 178698

    - Installing licenses with a USB floppy I recently had to rebuild a server for a customer. It is SBS 2000. The new server did not have a floppy drive. I need to use a USB floppy to install the license upgrade pack. However, when I try to install the license, after agreeing to the license agreement, I get a message that the license diskette is either damaged, a copy, or illegal. It is a brand new license disk, purchased in an unopened package. I've tried 2 license disks and have even replaced the USB floppy twice with no success. Any ideas as to what is going on here? Any way anybody knows of to get these licenses installed? The customer is a non- profit and doesn't really have the funds to buy a copy of 2003 SBS. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Rob Power Tag: Exchange timing out Tag: 178697

    - POP3 Hi I have SBS 2000 with SP4. POP3 for Exchange is enable and some workers are downloading emails via POP3. From the inside its enable, but from the outside no. when I stop and start the smtp and POP3 services its working for a while, but stops. In the ISA server there is a rule to accept external connection for the POP3. The problem is only for workers who try to connect to the mail server from the outside. any idea?

    - Event ID 1221 I was just reviewing the event log on my server when I noticed Event ID 1221 with the following description: The database "First Storage Group\Public Folder Store (SBSSERVER)" has 1 megabytes of free space after online defragmentation has terminated. I am very concerned that there is only 1 megabyte of free space available in my Public Folder Store, however I don't understand why this is the case. Given the 16gig limit for Exchange, when I browse folder C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\MDBDATA my database is nowhere near this size limit. Following is a directory listing: 11/08/2006 09:35p 592,650,240 priv1.edb 11/08/2006 09:35p 113,254,400 priv1.stm 11/09/2006 08:16a 1,016,209,408 pub1.edb 11/08/2006 09:35p 182,460,416 pub1.stm As you can see my public folders are only using 1gig of space. So I am confused, is there an immediate crisis going on with my Exchange database? Do I need to start purging e-mails right away? Or is there a 1gig limit being imposed on the folder, and if so how do I increase it? Please help! Don Tag: Exchange timing out Tag: 178687

    - Upgrading to SBS2003 R2 & New hdwe. Do the CAL's for SBS2003 work for sbs2003 R2 or do I have to purchase new CAL's too? I will be purchasing a new server and installing R2 on it. Is the SWING method for upgrading really the best way to move everything from one box to another? And what exactly does it "move"? I only have about 30 users so I don't mind recreating them. My biggest concern is NOT loosing their email. I would like to have as much of a "fresh/clean" install as possible since we had someone poking around the SBS box trying this and trying that. Who know what's been changed and "made" to work but might not be done the "right" way. Any suggestions on new server hardware? The box will have VERY heavy printing loads and be used for file serving. Thanks, in advance, for anyone's suggestions. Tag: Exchange timing out Tag: 178686

    - Slow Response Times Some users have been reporting slow response times when opening their e-mail messages. From what I saw it would take about 5 to 10 seconds for a message to open. I checked the mailboxes in Exchange 2000 and nobody has an excessive amount of messages on the server. I run a backup every night of the Exchange store. I am not sure how to tell how much of the 16gig alloted space is used up, however I don't believe we are even close to the limit. Are there any other cleanup processes I should be running on a scheduled basis? To throw another curve into the mix, some of the users are complaining about the network in general being slower than usual. I have monitored the CPU, Hard Drive and Network bandwith on the server. All seem to be well within acceptable ranges. I am sort of at a loss as to where to begin troubleshooting these issues. The network has been running flawlessly for about 3 years now. It has only been withing the last month that the complaints have started to come in. Thank you in advance, Don Tag: Exchange timing out Tag: 178685

    - RDC over VPN stopped working One of our remote workers (at a hotel) is currently having a problem with a RDC over VPN that has always worked in the past. He connects to the VPN with success, then when launching his RDC, he gets this message: "The client could not connect to the remote computer. Remote connections might not be enabled or the computer might be too busy to accept new connections. It is also possible that network problems are preventing your connection. Please try connecting again later. If the problem continues to occur, contact your administrator." We tried other RDCs & he cannot connect to any desktop at work location. The RDC is set to use Static IP address of desktops, not computer names. >From my location, I have successfully connected to his desktop through the same VPN. Could his hotel be blocking something? If so, how do we tell for sure? And Secondly, why would the VPN connect, but not the RDC. Thanks Tag: Exchange timing out Tag: 178681

    - Network goes AWOL after a couple of minutes (pt 2) Hi This continues the issue raised here: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.backoffice.smallbiz2000/browse_thread/thread/c5eb3d85f5853655/01915ae1a5b1d808?lnk=st&q=robsavage&rnum=2#01915ae1a5b1d808 Since then, the issue has come back repeatedly, and no matter what processes of elimation we try, we canot nail the problem down. For the past 2 months, they have had my own Cisco 2950 (not a 2940 as I said before) in place and had not a single problem. However, I want my switch back now! I am typing out a quote for a new Cisco switch, but expect them to ask why they should pay several hundred GBP just because we cannot identify the cause of the problem. I'm also dead nervous that if we sell them the switch and then the problem does happen again....! To recap - network goes down intermittently, with all lights lit up on the switch. Restart the switch and all is fine again. I have since plugged the server into the firewall so that in these situations, at least their mail server is still up and running to collect mail. But the problem remains. So it ain't the server causing the issue, as all that is connected to the switch when it goes down now are PCs and a printer. It just baffles me why the Cisco switch is so solid in this regard as opposed to the other switches. We had the original Dell unit back in place a couple of months ago, and they were getting the problem several times per week. I installed the Cisco, and there's not been a single occurrence since. Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated, else I shall have to email them the quote! Cheers Rob Tag: Exchange timing out Tag: 178670

    - Router to SBS-2003 VPN Connection I have an SBS-2003 Server installed with its standard Basic Firewall ... After configuring RRAS, the Remote Windows Clients can successfully VPN the SBS-2003 and the performace is very good ... My delima is when I have tried to connect a Branch Office using different VPN Routers (NetGear - LinkSys) through IPSec but was never successful ... Also, I have followed Microsoft Guidelines in KB:816514 for configuring IPSec Tunneling in Windows 2003 Server and did all the recommended settings but with no luck ... For example, the NetGear FVS124G Router VPN Log shows the following: :: IKE phase-I negotiation started :: IKE phase-I message not received after retries :: Sending a Delete payload of protocol ISAKMP and Peer IP: 4568441c :: Deleting the IsakmpSA As seen from the above, the IKE Phase-I SA doesn't get a response and after (5) retries, it will delete the Phase-I SA proposal before even going to Phase-II SA ... Is there any other steps that I need to configure on the SBS-2003 Server-side other than creating the IPSec Policy ??? ... Appreciate your help so that I can setup this Branch Office to connect to the SBS-2003 ... Thanks ... Reda Tag: Exchange timing out Tag: 178668

    - SBS2k Exchange recovery - HELP! All, SBS2k, Exchange has hit the end-stops bigtime. Ran offline defrag, and got system back up.. Client didn't have enough time to offload anything before ISP did a 'Mail DB failover'. - This resulted in the same emails coming in twice! Exchange lasted 16 hours between the end of defrag to keeling over again. This time, there was also an event log entry saying that the disk with Mdbdata on it had got to below 10MB free. - This not true. Partitions set to run chkdsk, and server rebooted. I presume there isn't a hack to increase the database size, as there is in Exchange2003? Is there a way to extract a mailbox from Exchange, when exchange won't run? If I did this, could I then uses eseutil to compact what was left, then clear out a sizeable chunk, then get the extracted mailbox back in? TIA, Philip Partridge Tag: Exchange timing out Tag: 178656

We have Small Business Server 2000 and it has been timing out
repeatedly in the last two months when users try to retrieve mail.
There are only two users. I was out sick for the two days, plus the
weekend, so I had over 400 messages. It took from 9:30 to 1:30 to get
them. I use a program to get only the message headers. It would get
30-40 messages, and then time out.

My boss uses Outlook and it takes forever to download just a little
mail. Additionally, for her, the server is keeping the message, not
deleting it as her client is configured.

I am at my wits end, and do not know where to go from here. Our admin
person is busy until January - any help here perhaps? If someone can
give me a clue I will be most grateful.

TIA

How are you connected to the Internet? DSL, Cable, Dial up? Have you
checked the SBS Event Viewer for any related Errors? Worst case, call a
Microsoft Certified Partner in your area to help you out. Seems to me that
your Admin would at least have an alternate company or person responsible
for his duties if he is absent. Might be time to look for a new admin.
