(aka Microsoft)
Working through the night
On a server that we got
Did we load it right?
Where's that book I bought?
Backup's almost done
Surfin' really flies,
What fun it is to boot and run
S-B-S is on the rise
Oh, Microsoft, S-B-S
What a hit you are
Oh, what fun it is to have
a system that runs far.
Oh, Microsoft, S-B-S
Working all the time
Oh, what fun it is to have
a system that's so fine..
A day or two ago
I thought I'd remote in
And soon the server told
The trouble I was in
Event logs were no help
Misfortune seemed my lot
Services were stopping now
And to my car I hopped
Oh, Microsoft, S-B-S
The server's crashed again
What a pain is to have
Working this weekend
Oh, Microsoft, P-S-S
Where's the help I need?
When I tried to call you up
You're all in New Dehli !

URGENT exchange email
Hi we have sbs 2000 with exchange. As of Friday, any email
coming in cannot be openned, and now we can't even send
internally. So we can recieve incoming, but can't open the
messages.
We get an error that says "Can't open this item , the
messaging interface has returned an unknown error. An OLE
registration error ocurred.
When I try to send an email I get a "Exchange server
sending error 0x80040154"
It is almost as if we have reached some limit somewhere
that is preventing exchange from working.
Total size on M drive is 2.2gb.
Need urgent help on this one
Regards Simon Tag: SBS 2003 and Expanding petition magic version 8? Tag: 168789
Modem Setup Remote access
I have set up remote access for dial-up and it works just fine for users to
access emails and Palm Pilot. However,
if the server reboots (Planned) the modem does not reset itself for "Waiting
for Call", the remote access wizard has to be re-run.. Any Ideas as to having
it reset upon reboot ? Tag: SBS 2003 and Expanding petition magic version 8? Tag: 168782
Running out of space on C: can I move SQL Server?
SQL is taking up 2.x GB of space on our C drive. Is there a way to move it
(and possibly Exchange too) onto a new drive?
TIA

Exchange Not Recieving Inbound SMTP
Yes I have ran the ICW and checked the MX records which seemed to be
working as the server was recognised as mail.domain.com. A couple of
hours later I recieved a non delivery report from our server to the
external email account I was using for testing which appeared to be
generated by exchnage server and was stating the delivery status to be
5.0.0. Any suggestions on what could be causing this status?
Thanks for you help so far. Tag: SBS 2003 and Expanding petition magic version 8? Tag: 168778
SBS 2003 / ISA / Web Access
We're installing SBS 2000 together with ISA server. No client machines, yet,
we're still battling with getting the server right. The only user is the
administrator.
Having installed the server (but before installing ISA) we have internet
connectivity. We then install ISA (from the premium edition disk) as a result
of which, and after running ICW, and logging off and on, we can't see any web
pages. The ADSL modem connects successfully to the ISP, but the only thing we
get in IE is a 502 error.
Now, we're guessing we need to do something to allow web things through ISA
but we can't see what. Can anyone point us in the right direction.
We didn't have this problem with SBS 2000 (with ISA) which seemed to work
without problem, and which is why we can post this message.
TIA

Exchange Not Recieving Inbound SMTP
Hi, Im having a rather annoying problem getting exchange server
(sbs2000) to recieve inbound smtp. Here's a brief summary:
New Server with a new SBS2000 installation, we're using ISA Server
(which is working as a proxy and firewall) and exchange server using
the smtp virtual server. Internal email works fine, and sending
external email works fine too I can't seem to get inbound email to
work. Server has 2 nic's, 1 connected directly to ADSL router and
server has a static external ip. The other nic is connected to the
switch. I had my ISP change the mx records to point to the external ip
of the server, this worked fine as I was able to navigate to OWA using
mail.domain.com/exchange. I tried several things but still cannot
recieve email from the internet. Port scan shows port 25 as open
however I cannot telnet the port either externally or internally.
Things I've Tried (not in order):
Done port scan via grc.com and port 25 is stated as open
Enable Packet filters/Disabled them
Secure Mail Server Wizard
Tried disabling ISA Firewall service
Uninstalled McAfee Groupshield
Reinstalled ISA Server
Reinstalled Exchange Server
Restart ISA Services after changes
Restart Exchange Services after changes
is there anything I am missing? Have I overlooked something? Does
anyone have any suggestions as what I could try? Any help would be
much appreciated as I seeming to be making no progress whatsoever.

<< SBS Posting FAQ for New Users - V:1.0 - Last Updated: 2004-07-21>>
An HTML version of this document is available at:
http://www.sbs-rocks.com/netiquette.htm
--------------
The following tips are designed to help you get the fastest
and most appropriate answer to your questions.
They suggest which newsgroup to use,what basic research to do
before posting, information to include in your posting, newsgroup
etiquette, and alternate sources of useful information.
Following them will help us to help you.
===================================================
- Post to the appropriate newsgroup:
For SBS 4/4.5: microsoft.public.backoffice.smallbiz
For SBS 2000 : microsoft.public.backoffice.smallbiz2000
For SBS 2003 : microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs
Microsoft News Server: news.microsoft.com
The SBS Newsgroups provide a free forum for threaded discussion
and peer support on issues related to Small Business Server by
users, service providers and interested parties.
Please remember when posting that non Microsoft people don't get
paid to be here, and MVPs are -not- Microsoft employees.
{ Who are the Microsoft MVPs ?
http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;mvpfaqs }
Everyone here is giving generously and freely of their time, experience
and expertise to enhance the Small Business Server Community.
Join it, support it, respect it and enjoy it. - SBS Rocks !
===================================================
A Web interface to the SBS 2003 newsgroup is at:
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgroups/?pr=newsgsbs2003
You'll find the Rules of conduct on the MS Website at:
Welcome to Microsoft Discussion Groups
http://communities2.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx
===================================================
- Do some basic researches for previously posted solutions.
( It's most likely been posted and solved before. )

===================================================
- Post with a meaningful subject line so those with expertise or
interest in the topic can find it quickly. - Posting with a purely
attention seeking topic such as "DISASTER" or "No-One Ever Responds
to Me" may get you noticed -once- but is likely to get you ignored
or dropped in future. Remember -everyone's- issue is important to
them, so que jumping won't enhance anyone's opinion of you within
the newsgroup.
Mentioning the SBS component, Exchange, ISA, SQL Server, RAS, Pop
Connector etc.in the heading will be a big help in catching the eye
of experts in that field.
===================================================
- If posting a Question, post with sufficient information for a complete
stranger to understand your SBS version, environment; your issue, what
you have tried and what failed. You're not cutting down on the typing
as you'll be asked anyway, and it can only enhance the speed to
diagnosis and resolution.
A secondary benefit to this is that in correctly framing the question,
the resolution often presents itself.
Note:
Stating your SBS version ( 4, 4.5, 2000, 2003 ) is particularly
important as is whether your SBS 2003 is Standard or Premium and whether
you have ISA installed.
Please state all messages and IDs in failure notices and/or in the event
viewers. Also what may have been installed/changed/updated prior to or
during the issue.
===================================================
- Posting In capitals on is considered SHOUTING! ...Please don't.
===================================================
- Don't overlook or discount Paid Support.
If the Issue is urgent or complex, the time you spend searching for a
"free" solution. ...and cost factors such as Worker Downtime, Customer
Irritation, Lost Productivity, and Hair Replacement costs will likely
far outweigh the cost of a Support Call to Microsoft PSS (Product
Support Services ) or a Support Professional.
Note: Hotfixes are free of charge. Just ask for the specific Hotfix.
===================================================
- It's difficult to convey human emotions on Usenet (Humour, Pathos,
Sarcasm, Tongue-In-Cheek ) so use of emoticons and/or acronym tags is
advised.
.... and no; you -don't- have to be serious all the time. It's a
community. Enjoy !
===================================================
- There are many paths to a solution and as many experiences in getting
there as there are posters. Sometimes the paths are well worn, tried and
true. Sometimes paths diverge, sometimes converge, and sometimes new
trails are blazed. Understand and respect that, and use what suits you
and your situation.
===================================================
- People are different, but people are people. You should be nice to
them.
This is a technical newsgroup and not a place for Egos or Flame Wars.
As a community we try to leave them at the door and respect each other.
What you post here is archived and available to anyone, anytime.

- Don't be shy to post a Question ....or an Answer.
SBS encompasses a lot and has been known to make even corporate
SysAdmins Cringe and MCSEs cry. None of us knows -all- the answers.
We were all "Newbies" once and none of us has experience with every
permutation, combination, setup and environment SBS is deployed in,
so there are -no- stupid or dumb questions. That's the domain of
answers that imply that there are.
If you're asking a question and know the answer to another one on the
page, muck in and post it. The poster may get a faster resolution than
they would have, and an additional member may get a response
they wouldn't have otherwise
Your solution may be a something that we can all learn from.
- What goes around, comes around.-
===================================================
- It's not only Break/Fix. Anecdotes, Wishlists, Insights and Brickbats
are all grist to the mill of SBS Topics and all on-topic for the
community.
===================================================
- Don't Multi-post*. ( *the Same Posting within different newsgroups
or within the same thread.)
If you must post to several newsgroups, Cross-post to just the relevant
ones. A response in one will then show up in the others and all can
follow the thread.
===================================================
- Be patient.
Newsgroups are not Instant Messaging, and people aren't on-line just
waiting for you to post. If the situation -is- that urgent, then
Paid Support will pay for itself.
Remember: No-one -owes- you a response.
===================================================
- Things get missed.
Things do get lost or missed, or someone with the appropriate skills
or experience may not be available, so if you haven't had a response
after 3 Days or so, post again, perhaps with more detail and things
you've tried in the interim.
============================================
- Lastly, -enjoy - and remember, SBS Rocks !

Access to "external" computer
Hi All
I need to set up an SBS 2000 to allow access to a computer on the
external side of the server.
The server has the standard 2 NICs, one internal and one external.
Clients connected to internal and external used for broadband internet
(and now this computer).
We need to have a cache that stores specific things that it updates from
the internet. It's complicated but suffice to say that I don't have any
control over this aspect.
The external NIC on SBS has 10.81.10.1 as it address. The external PC
has 10.81.10.250
I have already setup:
1. Site & Content Rules
an "Allow ALL" access policy (this is what I use when testing
only)
all destinations, always, allow,
applies to any request, all HTTP content
2. Protocol Rules
an "Allow ALL" access policy (this is what I use when testing
only)
All IP traffic, always, applies to any request
3. IP Packet Filters
There are lots of filters. I have setup one as:
enables, predefined HTTP Server (port 80)
Local computer and remore computer I have
tried different settings
The external network does not appear in the LAT nor the LDT.
I can Ping the 10.81.10.250 from an internal client and the server so I
know it exists and that the server is forwarding the ping requests. I
tried 10.81.10.249 and it didn't work (as I expected).
Should I have an entry in the Network Configuration - Routing list. If
so what are the settings?
Please help as I am really stuck. After 5 frustrating hours I still
can't get it to work.
Cheers

Event Log consolidation
This may not be the best group to post this question in, but this is
an active group that I occassionally lurk in so it will certainly
serve as a good start.
I work in a 350 workstation, 20+ server Windows environment. We are
looking for a _good_ Event Log consolidation tool - preferably one
that is more GUI based than manual. I have looked briefly at GFI's
Even Log Monitor and wasn't too impressed with it but maybe I didn;t
give it enough time. We don't need a lot of fluff. Any
recommendations/experience?

Hard disk recovery utilities...
Are there any good free utilities out there that anyone has used that will

regardless of the OS/partitions etc...

TS update CALs will not register
I received some TS CALs on the XP transition plan from microsoft but they
will not register in the TS license server running on my SBS 2003 box. When I

ArcServe v9
We have been using this for around 14 months now without any problems. We
backup a member server on our SBS domain (the SBS has it's own tape drive and
runs ArcServe2000 for SBS) and also two other clients.
These clients are running dBase for DOS which is a 16-bit application. I
have installed BAOF (SP5) and Client agent so that the member server which
has a LTO2 tape drive accesses the machines using IP (just normal of
ArcServe).
The clients (2 PCs called A and B) are backed up in turn. PC A contains the
program and the data is held on PC B. When PC A runs the program to access
datafiles on PC B, then when the backups hit PC A (to backup the whole
machine) we suddenly get Event ID:50 in the logs of PC A (Delayed Write
Failed) and the program on PC A stops responding.
I have raised this with CA Tech Support and we have not come up with a
solution.
Any ideas?

SBS 2000 Exchange 2000 / Outlook issue
I have just installed SBS 2000 on a server with only Server and Exchange
options. The installs seems to have gone ok and no errors appeared in the
event log. I have installed Virusscan and Groupshield and configured the
exclusions. Outlook is installed on the server and when i try to connect the
Outlook 2000 SP3 client to the Administrator account it opens, you can see
messages in the inbox but the lower pain is grayed out and the program
freezes and stops responding I then have to stop the Outlook.exe service.
I haven't tryed to connect any clients to the server as this is supposed to
replace the existing server and I can't have the two servers on the network
at the same time.
I have checked the event logs and can't see any Exchange related errors, I
have also checked the services and all seem to be running ok.
This has really stumped me:-( I am supposed to be swapping the servers over
at the weekend but can't when it is in this state.
OS Platform:
SBS 2000
W2K SP4
EXCH 2000 SP3
Outlook SP3
Virusscan Enterprise
Groupshield for Exchange 2000
DNS seems to functioning correctly
Exchange services start and stay up

Add W2K3 DC to SBS 2000
I have a customer running SBS 2000 who wants to add a Windows Server 2003

Domain Not Found error on workstations
We've just upgraded from a satellite internet connection to a DSL connection.
Due to the limitations of satellite I've never explored the possibilities
that SBS offers. Now that I have DSL, I want to set SBS up to work for us.
Somewhere in my conversion I've lost the ability of my workstations to
connect to the domain. When attempting to logon the "The system cannot log
you on now because the domain GRANT is not available." When the server was
connected to the satellite, workstations were able to log onto the domain.
Somewhere in my settings changes, I've lost that ability.
Workstations are all XP Pro SP2.
I am able to log into Exchange email from outside the network using webmail
and from the workstations, using a locally stored profile and Outlook. I can
also log into the network stores but have to enter username and password each
time. I am also able to surf the web from the workstations. I can also use
remote desktop from outside the network over the web.
When I try to use the XP Network ID wizard I get this error:
DNS was successfully queried for the service location (SRV) resource record
used to locate a domain controller for domain GRANT.MCKINLEYFUNERAL.COM:
The query was for the SRV record for
_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.GRANT.MCKINLEYFUNERAL.COM
The following domain controllers were identified by the query:
grant1.grant.mckinleyfuneral.com
Common causes of this error include:
- Host (A) records that map the name of the domain controller to its IP
addresses are missing or contain incorrect addresses.
- Domain controllers registered in DNS are not connected to the network or
are not running.

Deny User permissions upon moving files within shared folder
Hello all,
Could you please advise me on how to restrict the access
rights of one Domain User from moving files within a
Shared Folder. The user should have sufficient rights to
write in the files, but not to save them afterwards to a
different! directory. The permissions granted for all
Domain Users on this Shared Folder are Modify - Read &
Execute - List Folder Contacts - Read - Write. Do I make
any amendments to the security permissions of the user's
account and if yes then which ones?
Thank you in advance for your response.

50+ users and the future after SBS2000
After running SBS2000 from around 10 users (around 3 years ago) to it's
maximum today (at 50!) we are now in the position to get of SBS and go for
something that caters for more than 50 users.
We are planing to purchase two boxes -
1. to have on it Server 2003 Std with around 60 CALS that will be our PDC
running AD running ISA 2004 Server (with 60 CALs too) - do we need 60 CALS on
Win03 Server if we plan to have around 60 people (clients) on the network?
2. to have Exchange 2003 with 60 CALs(?) - is this correct?
We want to use the SBS applications - i.e Exchange and ISA as we also run
GFI's MSEC and DSEC and MESS to pick up our mail from POP3.
Has anyone done any work on stepping forward from SBS2000 in a 50+ user
environment and advise on CALs and the setup above. The reason why we choose
2 boxes is that we want to separate the PDC/Internet (Server03 running
ISA2004) machine from the Mailserver (running Exchange) in case of future
problems.
Are ISA2004 and Exchange2003 the latest proxy and mail software from
Microsoft or are there any changes that will appear soon?
I need advise please.

Group Policy software roll-out
Hi,
We are running SBS2000 with around 45 clients and we have a file server on
the domain running Win03 Server Std as a member server.
We are running ACT! and wish to roll-out a newer version. Previously, we
have gone around to all machines and run the install from a shared CD-ROM
drive on the network - but naturally this takes a lot of time.
We wish to install the software using Group Policy. Please can someone tell
me how I can do this so that I can pop the CD into the SBS and run the
install from all clients.

The fix is to restore from backup. If I restore the IS from backup, will I

Help! Backup didn't run Exchange logs filled partition
Client moved their office in November and for one reason or another hasn't
run backup since 11/10/04. Prior to that an Exchange aware backup using
Tapeware was run daily without serious incident on the Dell Poweredge SBS
2000 sever for the last year and a half.
Today Exchange services stopped with the event log message that the Exchange
partition ( I setup a separate partition for Exchange when I setup the
server) had only 3 mb of space left.
I checked the MDBDATA folder and, as I expected, it was full of E00XXXX.log
files going back to 11/10/04 each of 5,120 kb size.
I tried running the backup to clear the logs but as the Exchange services
were stopped the backup ran fine, it just did not backup Exchange and thus,
apparently, did not clear the log files.
The question, I think, is how to clear up enough space on the Exchange
partition to mount the store to run the backup to clear the logfiles.
Is there a good way to do this? Or any good way to delete the logfiles? I
understand that it just brute force deleting them can be dangerous. Can they
be moved? I have space on my data partition to do this temporarily.
Thanks,

ISA server reports
I produce monthly ISA server reports for analysis. I'm aware of a problem
that ISA reverses
dates in non US-English system locales and have applied SP2 which I believe
fixes this problem.
My question is in the main summary report it has all the dates listed and
has server participation,
all our dates up to the first 12 days are reversed (US style mm/dd) and has
'no' for participation. All
the remaining dates are dd/mm format for our locale and have 'Yes' for
participation. Except of course
when the day and month are the same like 11/11, this is always yes.
This has always confused me as I read this as this monthly report does not
include the first 12 days
of data. This is same before and after the ISA SP2 patch was applied
(containing MS 331064)
Is this correct ?, and if so why didn't the patch fix this problem. Tag: SBS 2003 and Expanding petition magic version 8? Tag: 168711
backup email to a mail hosting company.
Does anyone know of a way I might be able to have my smtp mail
routed to 2 different mail locations?
Here is my scenario. I would like mail coming to our domain to be
sent to our ISP, as it currently is. This mail is retrievable by webmail.
I would also like a copy of all mail sent to our exchange server. The
exchange server would be what we use for normal mail operations. However, if
our exchange mail server goes down, we would like to be able to revert to
checking mail on our ISP's webmail server, _and_ we would like that there
would be a history of all mail received even before our exchange server
crashed.
You might be wondering why we might want such an elaborate fall back
mechanism. Our business operates with many very time sensitive deadlines.
Much of these deadlines revolve around emails. It would instill peace of
mind to be able to know that if our internal mail server was down for any
slightly lengthy period (fire, flood, hurricane), we would still have
immediate access to all mail, including mail we received in the weeks before
the failure.
Thanks,
Joe
/------- webmail / pop accounts (used only when main
server is down.)
email ------>
\----- exchange server (everyday use)
ps. I know exchange can be setup to forward emails to another account.
This solution alone is not good enough since when exchange is down we will
not be able to current receive external email. Tag: SBS 2003 and Expanding petition magic version 8? Tag: 168707
SBS 2000 Exchange/ISP Reply Address Problem
We are running a W2KSBS with Exchange using a ISP POP3 for external email.
The user logs onto the domain xxx.local. When they send external email it
goes out through the ISP however the reply address that is associated with
this external email is joe@xxx.com which is the FQDN but joe doesn't exist.
Some ISP's allow a second alias which allows us to enter this alias and
therefore get around the invalid email reply address issue.
This particular ISP doesn't allow two alias's so have to come up with a
different resolution.

No administrator console on SBS 2000, can I fix this faulty installation ?
Hi everybody,
we bought new server hardware this week, and had the company who sold
it to us install SBS 2000 (a licence we bought a few years ago) from
the installation media we provided (actually, the SBS 2000 Upgrade
DVD).
The server is now running in our network as the domain controller, but
it seems we didn't exactly get a full install of "Small Business
Server".
The imminent problem is that we cannot use our "SBS 2000 5 Client"
addon disk on it, so 5 of our colleagues are left with no workstation.
Looking into the problem, I found out there is no SBS Administrator
Console in the start menu, and the file "itprosbsconsole.msc" does not
even exist on the harddisk.
By searching the web I figured out that company who did the install
probably didn't install the whole thing, so the server isn't actually
running as a "Small Business Server 2000", but rather as a Windows
2000 Server, for which we have no addon licences.
Now to fix this problem quickly, I tried to install the consoles
myself to the running system. When I pop in the DVD (the actual CD1 is
not readable anymore), and run "setup.exe" from the CD1 folder, the
setup starts and asks me to insert a "Backoffice 4.0 or 4.5" CD1 (of
course, because the SBS 2000 is an upgrade version). So, I out in the
4.5 CD1 and now I get the error message (roughly translated): "You
cannot upgrade this install of Windows with the CD you inserted."
So, I cannot install the Administrator console.
What I would like to know, is what possibilities am I left with here:
- Do I need a full reinstall from scratch?
- If so, is it possible to install the SBS 2000 Server from the DVD,
or do I need to use the CDs (what is the difference)
- As a full reinstall is a time problem, is there a way to get working
addon licenses to this SBS 2000 "mutation" I am running now, for a
quick fix?
- Will I run into any other problems with this faulty install I might
not be aware of?
Thank you in advance!

the new server. Then I'm going to "Remove the first Exchange 2000 server"

Exchange 2003 system manger, but the SBS Exchange doesn't see the new
server. When I try to rehome public, OAB etc it fails.

CAL questions
From MS' licensing site:
"... You can either purchase a CAL for every device (used by any user) that
accesses your server, or purchase a CAL for every named user that accesses
your servers (from any device). Devices include not only desktop workstations
in your office but also mobile phones that have Internet access, handheld
PCs, and remote workstations. Whichever type of CAL you choose, a separate
Windows Small Business Server 2003 CAL (of either type) is required for each
user or device that accesses or uses the server software on any of your
servers."
Does this mean that someone who has email being copied/forwarded from their
company account to a Blackberry needs a CAL for the Blackberry? I'm not sure
if an automatic forward counts as another device, especially since it's going
to the blackberry servers. I would compare it to auto-forwarding to a yahoo
mail account, except that the blackberry does synch up with Outlook.
Also, I know that servers need CALs for SBS, but what determines that? If I
have a separate web server, do I need a CAL for it? As far as I can see,
traffic will be going through the firewall to the web server (have yet to put
it in a DMZ) and bypassing the SBS server altogher.
"Device CALs might make most economic and administrative sense for an
organization that has multiple users for one device, such as shift workers.
User CALs might make most sense for an organization that has many roaming
employees who access the corporate network from unknown devices and/or
employees who access the network through multiple devices."
OK this makes it seem that user CALs are what we need. However, how does SBS
handle the same account connecting from multiple computers? There are a
couple of people who use about six different machines for video editing, and
they log on with the one account to all those machine.
"The number of Windows Small Business Server 2003 CALs required equals the
maximum number of users or devices that may simultaneously access or use the
server software installed on a particular server. The Windows Small Business
Server 2003 CALs that you purchase are designated for use exclusively with a
particular server.
You have the right to switch one time to the other license typeâ??from user
CALs to device CALs or from device CALs to user CALs. Your Windows Small
Business Server 2003 CALs (of either type) would then be used in the other
mode instead." Tag: SBS 2003 and Expanding petition magic version 8? Tag: 168671
