    - BSOD on startup - KERNEL_DATA_IN_PAGE_ERROR Hi I really hope someone here can help me with this - Last night my W2K SBS2000 server became totally unresponsive. The only think I could do was to pull the power from the server to get it restarted. On restart the server got as far as the Windows 2000 screen with the blue bar across the bottom, only for the following stop error to come up. STOP: 0x0000007A (0xc038A0f8, 0xC40000185, 0xE283EE48, 0x1B598880) KERNEL_DATA_IN_PAGE_ERROR Has anyone seen this before or know what it is please?

    - Size of exchange database sbs2003 Hey Guys Just a stupid question If i take a look at the total size of the user mail boxes under usage reports in system management under is says approx 9 gb in size, however when I look at the size of the edb and stm file they are nearly 16gb in size. How can this be so, already we have had a problem with the database going over 16gb and stopping exchange so we ran a defrag but it only reduced the database by about 300mb. Can someone advice me on what is going on Many thanks Scott Tag: Exchange/Outlook 2000 Outbound Email Failing Tag: 164509

    - Windows 2003 Enterprise and SBS 2003 Domain Coexistence I have initially created a Windows 2003 Enterprise AD network - 2 DC and 2 Enterprise FS I realized this was an overkill so what I want to do is go to SBS 2003 Domain - 2003 AD Question: ---------- Can I join an SBS 2003 server into my current Windows 2003 Ent based domain? <-- THIS is the MAIN question I am wanting to copy my users and computers into the SBS 2003 and take advantage of the 'budled' softwares - Exchange 2003 and SPS 2003. Please do not discuss the "better" or "cheaper" etc option - I would simply like to know if you can to transfer objects over. Thank you. Tag: Exchange/Outlook 2000 Outbound Email Failing Tag: 164505

    - Using WS-FTP on a workstation.... Hello SBS'ers! I've quickly searched the newsgroup, but I didn't get any results about my next little "request", so here goes: 1) Running firewall client on all of the workstations (all workstations are Win2K and patched). 2) Director wants to use the program WS-FTP to update her company website from the office instead of waiting to get home. 3) Do I have to set up a packet filter for the specific port that WS-FTP uses to allow the program to run off of her workstation?

    - Branch Office VPN Options I have spent some considerable time over the past few days searching for some tried-and-true recommendations for connecting one of my customer's main office SBS2000 system to a branch office, and have come up disappointingly short. I would appreciate any experience and recommendations from the community. Both main and branch offices have DSL Internet connections, with the main office operating through a standard SBS2000/ISA2000 system. The branch office PC's currently connect to the SBS system via the built-in WinXP PPTP VPN client. They would like to join the two networks with a site-to- site VPN, and take advantage of full client access (join the domain) for Exchange email and ISA Server filtering. This seems like a simple request, using any of the currently available VPN routers (Linksys RV042 would be the starting point). However, the documentation I've reviewed indicates that it is essentially impossible to connect the standard IPSec tunnel mode VPN of one of these routers to the ISA Server. Is that true? If this is such a major problem, what are other solutions to the problem, short of the expense of installing a second Windows server, possibly with ISA server, in the branch office? Isn't there a better way for my small business customer? What about a router-to-router VPN connection that somehow still leaves ISA in-place and functioning in the main office? Thanks for any help that you can provide, Andy Williams Professional Computing Solutions Tag: Exchange/Outlook 2000 Outbound Email Failing Tag: 164491

    - Can't find POP3 connector? I wanted to make some changes to a users POP3 account but could not find the POP3 connector. It's been a while since I've done this and wasn't quite sure where it was. But I looked pretty carefully through the Exchange management directory (found the POP3 virtual server) but no connector. Is it possible some SBS update or patch could have removed this? For that matter, I couldn't find the SMTP connect either. Any ideas? POP3 email still seems to be working fine, so I'm not sure what's going on. Thanks for any help. -Pat Tag: Exchange/Outlook 2000 Outbound Email Failing Tag: 164472

    - Login not working after XP SP2 I have upgraded our network workstations from Win 98 to New HP PC's with XP SP1. They were login fine but after upgrading to XP SP2, the login user name and password fails, although I could use all the resources on the server. When I login I could see the domain, but if I tried to login using user name and password from the domain controller, it denies access. I then login on to local computer using local user name and password and it works fine. It also remembers map drives etc. So althogh it's not a critical proble, I would love to have a solution.

    - Adding domain users as local admin Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right group but I will try anyway. I am setting up Windows Xp users to a SBS 2003. I am trying to add the Domain users to the local Admin group but it keeps coming up with an error saying that it can't find the Domain Users. How do I fix this? I need to the user to be able to have local admin rights to their workstations. Also, how does the licencing work? I have installed SBS2003 which comes with 5 CALs. When I look in the license window, it tells me this but Maximum usage is 1. What does this mean? Look forward to a response. Mil Tag: Exchange/Outlook 2000 Outbound Email Failing Tag: 164456

    - OWA is meaningles outside the office. Hi everyone: The location https:\\myserver\exchange\anyuser is meaningless outside the office local network. Yes, I tested from home and it did not work. It works if I get access via my office VPN connection from home. However, we want it to work from any browser. Also this has become important because I have discovered that Exchange Server Web access is not working properly in the following way. If persons in the office send email, it is immediately visible remotely using Exchange Server Web access. However, if persons outside the office send me email, it does not appear in the in-box through Exchange Server Web access at all, until after I access my account using Outlook Express at home or Outlook at the office. . How can I make exchange to see email sent from external domains all together with people from our domain. We also use apollohosting to host our email/website services. If I go to the web mail account in apollohosting I only see the external emails, not the emails that are sent withing our domain. How can I solve these 2 problems. Can someone help me get to the bottom of these problem. Any help will be appreciated. thanks to all in advance, Denise Tag: Exchange/Outlook 2000 Outbound Email Failing Tag: 164449

    - Mail server sending out unwanted email - not relaying Hello, My SBS 2003 server is sending out lots of junk email. Its definately not relaying but its happening when the pop connector collects email, it looks at all the email addresses in the headers and then sends all the non local emails to the SMTP connector to re-deliver! I've put a bogus smarthost in my SMTP connector for now so I can see all the msgs queing up to be sent. Presumably I've missed something fairly obvious on the setup ... can anyone advise?

    - smtp services Hi all My fiiend's network has been operating for the past 2 years running sbs2k but have recently run into a problem with certain email services. It seems that since they went from a static to dynamic dsl that their ISP cannot accept incoming email to other snet.net accounts. Their contention is that we have to specify that we are using smtp.snet.yahoo.com My question is this: We have smtp services (virtual) running on the machine. Do we add this as a new service or are smtp connectors the answer? In KB 294736 and 265293 they refer to using smtp connectors but I don't know if that is the appropriate path here. All other email works fine.. we simply cannot send to anyone at snet.net Also, in KB 274638, there is a reference that if the external IP address changes, and the IP address for the smtp publishing rule has not been updated could cause mail to be not delivered.

    - Lockout policy Hi, I implemented a lockout policy where users would be locked out for 30 minutes if their password was entered incorectly 3 times. We had problems with this and I ended up having to diable this policy. I also have a policy where the users have to change their password every 4 weeks. But when they do change their password, the system allows them to login but denies them access to any network resource. And the next time they log in, the system says the account is locked out.

    - Application requirement We have a client running an SBS2000 based network. They may upgrade to 2003 over the next 6 months or so, but this isn't the issue. The client wants every email that goes out of the company to be logged with some form of reference number and that a copy of all outgoing emails is held on the server. They don't want to rely in going into "sent items" for the particular user. The reason for this is that a lot of agreements are being sent out and they might need to refer to certain emails in the future in the event of legal proceedings etc Does anyone know of any software that does this?

    - SBS 2003 - Manage Users Hi, I'm new to SBS 2003 and struggling with parts of it. I've just lost most of the Manage Users functionality which seems to be because the user templates have all disappeared! I can't create manage users into groups and I had to recover (last known good) after dodgy reboots but it didn;t go back far enough to completely fix the problem. Can anyone suggest a way to repair this? Things started to go wrong when I tried to use NTFS permissions to prevent unauthorized access to a web subfolder. It worked, but when I tried to reset the permissions nothing happened (except that problem A suddenly appeared.) Help and suggestions much appreciated!

    - Roaming Profiles I am working for a client installing a new Windows Small Business Server 2003, and I am having some difficulty. My client has a Dell server, a Dell 16 port switch, and four client PCs each running Windows XP, as well as a Netgear ADSL modem/router/WAP device through which a connection is made to the internet. I have installed SBS on the server, and have started the configuration process. At the moment I am trying to get roaming profiles working. I believe that I have installed and configured everything correctly to this point. I have created four users on the server, as well as the four client PCs on the server. I have installed Windows XP on one of the client PCs. I have set the users up to have roaming profiles - on the server, I have set a path for the profiles to use. I believe that I have set the correct share and NTFS permissions for the directory where profiles are to be stored. When I attempt to logon to the client PC as one of the created users, I get two error messages relating to being unable to access the roaming profile on the server, and being unable to create a local profile on the client PC. I am, however, able to complete the logon process and can "see" the server from the client PC, whilst logged on as the user. When I change one of the users from being a roaming user to having a local profile, the user is able to log on correctly, with no errors, and the local profile is created without any errors. I am relatively new to administering Microsoft products having come from a UNIX background, but I believe that I understand the theory - it is the practice which is causing me problems. I have searched the internet for a solution to the problem, I have purchased the Microsoft Press "Windows Small Business Server 2003 Administrator's Companion" book, and I have searched the Microsoft web-site, but I cannot find the answer to my problem. I would be very grateful if anyone could point me in the correct direction. Yours, Simon May Tag: Exchange/Outlook 2000 Outbound Email Failing Tag: 164381

    - Keep file server running if SBS 2000 box down I have tried this but when I switch of the SBS box things are not working. Being doing it after hours so maybe a bit tired....lol Flattened 2000 server (file server) and looking for some ideas before I attempt again. All workstations are XP. The idea is if there is a failure of SBS box, granted email and internet are down but working files are put onto file server so staff can continue to work. On paper the concept is straight forward but as my experiances have shown I am missing something. The biggest problem was getting validated on the Domain if a pc was switched off and the SBS box was switched off. Being XP they could logon to the pc but accessing the file server shares didn't work. Anyone actually got the scenario set up ? TIA Tag: Exchange/Outlook 2000 Outbound Email Failing Tag: 164376

A secondary benefit to this is that in correctly framing the question, the resolution often presents itself.

    - install printer on 98 os based workstation Today I want to add a network printer to a 98 os workstaion in SBS 2000 domain. The printer i choose to connect to is a device to another workstation running 2000 pro who worked as a printer server in SBS 2000 domain. I did the same thing for a 2000 pro workstation, it was done smoothly, but when i try to do this for a 98 os workstation, it prompted me insert a 98 2nd os CD. I do not have the 98 os CD at hand. I guess the problem is that 98 os need a appropriate printer driver. Can anyone help. Thanks Tag: Exchange/Outlook 2000 Outbound Email Failing Tag: 164367

    - Device/Firewall for SOHO in AD 2003 Env Background: We have three servers with its own web contents available on the Internet. Our servers are not behing ANY firewall and would liekt o place behind firewall (I only want to expose the necessary services to the outside world - nothing more). Each server is Windows 2003 Std. and one is a DC. (1) I have three servers internally that has its own public IP. (2) I want a firewall device to block everything except the web sites (other services) I have on each one. I want o publish any service (FTP, RDP, etc) and punch a hole in the firewall device and port forwad to correct internal IP. Question: ======= What device for the SOHO (cheap), that will allow me to forward traffic from each PUBLIC IP (only 3 servers to forward to) to the correct Internal Server? Basically, I want a device that will function a simple firewall, and also port forwards traffic of public IP to the appropriate internal IP / server. Hope this makes sense...please let me know what you think - thanks. Tag: Exchange/Outlook 2000 Outbound Email Failing Tag: 164357

    - HELP HELP HELP Hi All, I hope someone can help here. We had a total hardware failure on a the mirror of a W2K BackOffice box with Exchange 2000. We were able to save the Raid 5 D drive that has the Exchange Private and Public Store. On the new hardware we installed W2K and ran the 2000 BackOffice setup. As part of this setup we joint the box to the existing domain and installed Exchange2000. After reboot, the server had joined the domain and had replicated the AD from the other DC. When starting the Enterprise Admin the public and private store were showing but couldn't be started. The property pages are pointing to the right DIR on the D drive where all logfiles and the Private and Public store files are. We then noticed that there is no M drive and when we checked the services, none of the Exchange services are there. We have no clue what has happened. Does anybody know about a white paper or something that we could use to get Exchange back up again? If needed we can whipe the C drive again and start from scratch. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Claus Tag: Exchange/Outlook 2000 Outbound Email Failing Tag: 164352

    - NEWBIE: How do I make default desktops shortcuts for new users. Hi All I am running sbs2000 with 20 client/PCs. More and more people are logging on at different PCs. As users log on for the first time I want to be able to create ready made short cuts to directories on the server (like the company folder does). Also a default shortcut to the company website when they open explorer. I have been told its to do with group policies. Is there a nice wizard or tutorial/examples I can use.

    - Duplicate IP Addresses I have a small network consisting of a server running SBS2000 and approximately 20 PC running either Windows XP Pro or Windows 2000 Pro. For the last few days when I have arrived at the office in the morning I find I am unable to access the server. When I look at the server there is a message indicating that the server has detected a duplicate IP address. If I reboot the server the problem goes away. This message also appears on many workstations. I have looked at the event logs on the server and can see this message repeated many times over a number of hours but I am unable to determine when it started. I have now increased the size of the log file. I have checked the event logs on several PCs as well and can see that this problem occurs on and off throughtout the day with the PCs as well. It occurs only for a few seconds and then stops. I am not sure why this is happening and how I can stop it. Can anybody help?

    - Guest administrator access First of all thanks to all the helpful folk who give us answers. Greatly appreciated. The question I have regarding guest administrator access, is as follows. The company wants to have an independant consultant come in and do a network and security audit on the system as we have installed it to look for, I am assuming, security holes, or misconfigurations etc. I have suggested that I create a guest administrator account because I am uncomfortable handing out the administrator credentials to an outside party. As well the administrator doesn't need access to personal folders etc he just needs to look over the logs and performance monitors etc. If this were you, what permissions would you give him/her? Is there a way to lock down such so that they can look at these things without having "full" administrator rights? Any direction would be beneficial. thanks again.

    - Max Exchage DB size in SBS Small Business Server imposes a 6gb limit on the size of the Exchange DB correct? Is the file I should be watching the "priv1.edb" file?? If so, I saw this file awfully close to the 6gb mark last week. I then warned users they better clean up their emails, start archiving etc... Many of them have done this. However, the size of the priv1.edb file still shows the same... What gives here? I made sure they aslso deleted their "deleted items" as many forget to do that...Am I looking at the wrong file to determine the size of my exchange DB? Why is it not shrinking as the individual mail boxes are reduced in size? Help! Thanks Brad Tag: Exchange/Outlook 2000 Outbound Email Failing Tag: 164297

    - More fun with permissions and permissions need to print via RDP Using kb article # 244600 I've been doing a comparsion of the folder permissions as they exist on our 2k sbs server because they just seem too open. I think someone has changed something. Is there anyway to tell who has changed security on files? The real issue is that I have changed a few settings because someone had give "everyone" full access to the root of "C" and that just doesn't quite seem right. Can some one correct me on this? Also, adjusting the security permissions on the following folders, Documents and Settings, programs, %systemroot%, %systemroot%\Addins, %SystemRoot%\Connection Wizard according to that of the kb article, suddenly we are having printing fun. According to a previous post we updated everyones RDP client to vs 5.2 because certain users at a remote location where not able to transfer their local printers to the Terminal Server sessions. After updating the RDP client they were then able to print. Now after changing the permissions on the above folders, users establishing an RDP session, their printers transfer to the terminal server but they can print. The print job redirect hits the remote PC but then just disappears. If I assign the user administrator rights they can suddenly print. Obviously I don't want to give everyone administrator rights so I'm wondering what permissions are needed to fix this issue? Again assistance is so much appreciated. thanks.

    - Compare two SBS boxes We have two SBS boxes installed in two different branches of our company. The setup of two SBS were made in hardwares almost 100% identical (Dell PowerEdger 1600). As the two machines were installed in different moments and by different people, we believed that they have different configurations. Respecting the characteristics that are own of each installation of SBS (domain name, users accounts, users files and folder, etc), Exist some tool or tip to compare the two boxes and detect the differences? Maybe to compare with a third installation, 100% clean and to detect the differences? (ISA rules, DNS and DHCP, Windows configurations, etc) The Objective is to have the configurations the most similar possible. Differences into Registry, INI files, configuration files, version of DLLs. I understand that the task is not easy. Maybe impossible. Maybe the simplest way is reinstall the boxes starting from the zero, writing down and following the same steps in the two branches. Does anybody have some different idea?

Good day to all. Not sure what is happening due to no
errors in event viewer but people within our network are
trying to send emails out and they are getting an
immediate failure. Here is an example of the error.
Your message did not reach some or all of the intended
recipients. I blanked out the email address for obvious
reasons.

Subject: RE: ODOT 567-03 WAYNE

The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

'******@rrohio.com' on 9/13/2004 4:20 PM
The destination system is currently not
accepting any messages. Please retry at a later time. If
that fails, contact your system administrator.

This message is on every person we try to send too. There
has been no changes in Exchange. No way to identify the
problem.

Could use any and all help.
Thank you,

To test to see if your server can send. I had an isp start denying all
port 25 traffic except to their server. They also required
authentication. No notification was received of this change.
