    - Motherboard change We have SBS2000 with 2xSATA RAID drives It would seem that either one of the drives or the drive controller is faulty and causing the machine to crash If it's one of the drives, fine, they can simply be changed I take it by ghosting the original drives onto new ones However, if it proves to be the controller, the whole motherboard will have to be changed and this also has e embedded NIC's, 1 we use as the server NIC and the other for our broadband connection Is this going to cause me problems or will the SBS installation be able to be re-configured ok Anything specific I should/shouldn't do TIA Alan.

I want to know if anyone has advice on the best way to approach this install and if you might have a few links for reading up on what needs to be done.

    - System takes forever to boot, Currenty stuck on 'applying computer settings' I am running SBS2000 SP3, I was in the process of upgrading to SP4 when the server crashed. The system now does not boot, it gets stuck at the 'applying computer settings' stage. I have rebooted into safe mode and reapplied SP3, this however has not resolved the problem I have succesfully rebooted the SBS2000 server in directory repair mode. The server is configured with 2 NIC's, Internal network and External (Internet). The internal is configure with no default gateway and the primary DNS is pointing at the internal network address. The external NIC is configured with the default gateway pointing at the router and the primary DNS pointing at the internal NIC address (as per microsoft documentation). I have checked the binding order, internal NIC followed by external NIC. However, I am unable to run the ICW (during directory repair mode). When I reboot the server it still hangs during the 'applying computer settings' phase. Its now 7:30am local time, I have been on site through the night ! The users are due to arrive at 8:30amm !

    - Problems w/ New SBS 2003 Premium install Hello out there, I hope someone out there might have some pointers for me ... I've recently installed SBS 2003 Premium on a P4 1.7GHz, 1GB RAM, 40GB HDD (mirror set) box. Runs great except two issues: sharepoint doesn't work (getting errors in the Event viewer) and I can't join client PCs to the domain using the http://myhostname/connectcomputer browser based utility. 1. During the initial install, it appears that the MSDE was installed (for Sharepoint and SBS Monitoring) for users that didn't end up purchasing Premium (which comes with SQL 2000). The installation of the MSDE had an instance name of Sharepoint. I went to install SQL 2000 and it detected that MSDE was running and asked if I wanted to upgrade. I followed the upgrade process... When I was done, SQL 2000 was installed but it still had an instance name of Sharepoint ( \myhostname\sharepoint). The only thing here was that for some reason, I couldn't get the SQL Service Manager app to connect and start, the SQL Agent wouldn't start and the Enterprise Manager acted erratic. I was able to back up the STS_Config and STS_Myhostname_1 databases. I uninstalled the "upgraded" SQL server and reinstalled fresh. I restored the two databases and placed the appropriate security rights back on them. Everything looks fine, but the sharepoint admin can't connect to the database, "companyweb" doesn't work, and I have errors in the Application event viewer which show up every 5 minutes saying "#50070: Unable to connect to the database STS_Config on myhostname\SharePoint. Check the database connection information and make sure that the database server is running." Basically, the applications are still looking for an database server with an instance name of Sharepoint. Where do I change the settings for this so the apps will stop looking for this instance name? 2. Here's the other funky error I'm getting. I can manually join a client Win2K PC to the domain but if I try to add domain users to security groups on this local Win2K client PC, I get error messages that the domain doesn't exist or can't be contacted. I did some research and found that I need to go through the Server Management app and click Client Computers, then click Set Up Client Computers. The wizard then says to go to the client PC and go to http://myhostname/connectcomputer to finish the setup. If I do this, an OCX control is loaded, and a wizard starts. If I enter a valid domain username and password (using the admin account here ...) I get an error message saying "The list of users and computers could not be found on the server. Make sure that the Small Business Server network adapters are configured correctly." What is the deal here? I'm at a total loss. There is TCP connectivity, I can ping the server, I can browse the local network and see the other computers (sitting in their default workgroup...). I know physical connectivity is not an issue here. My only guess is that after the installation of the SBS 2003 software, I removed the original NIC and added two new ones. Was the first, primary NIC designated as a special network adapter? Thanks for any help you can provide, I'm so frustrated plus Microsoft wants $245 for support (on a brand new product...) -Brian Tag: File Locking Tag: 152632

    - XP, or Not XP....that is the question..... As noted here before, I have been trying to deploy an XP box on our SBS2K network with miserable success. When browsing network drives, the machine would just hang and hang. Sometimes browsing would be fast, other times the machine would actually go into the "not responding" mode. So I figure this new XP box is killing me and my network. Low and behold, I'm on the server yesterday trying to view some files and while navigating through directories suddenly I get the hourglass and have to stand and wait around a minute before my LOCAL drives and directories appear. What in blazes is going on here?! I'm at a record low as far as critical errors go in the event logs, all the patches ahve been applied (and I'm starting to suspect they may have been the culprit) and I', flat out at a loss to figure out why I'm having such huge delays in browsing. Before all the patches, the screens would pop as fast as I could double click, now there is at least a minimal wait on almost all machines. To the best of my knowledge, the DNS is fine, but if somebody cares to elaborate exactly what I should be looking at inthe DNS, I can double check it. Thanks. Tag: File Locking Tag: 152620

    - SBS 2003 & Outlook Web Access Requirements Caution, I'm an Exchange/OWA newbie... I have just purchased SBS 2003 and am interested in setting up OWA 2003. Although I have looked pretty thoroughly, I can't find definitive information (let alone a "step-by-step" or "how to") on the requirements or procedures. Can someone point me in the right direction? I realize that I need to have another computer in the DMZ as the back end server but I am unclear on the following: -To run OWA 2003, do I need to buy another copy of Server and/or Exchange for the back end server? Do they need to be 2003? -Do I need to purchase IAS for the back end server? -If the answers to the above are yes, are the requirements for OWA 2000, less imposing (i.e., IIS vs IAS) From the marketing, it sure seemed that setting up OWA was going to be a piece of cake as long as one had a DMZ and an extra box lying around. Apparently there is more to it than that. Thanks in advance, Bruce Bruce Palmer, MCSA, MCSE New York, NY Tag: File Locking Tag: 152595

    - How to allow inbound mail from external domain but refuse outbound mail to same domain? [SBS2K] How can I allow inbound mail from a specific domain whilst blocking outbound to the same domain? My problem is that I am implementing Trend Scanmail E-manger Anti-spam (part of the new CSM-SMS suite) and I need to be able to notify some recipients, i.e. upper management, when a spam mail is received (so that they can retrieve it if it has been wrongly identified). However, some mail from mailing lists (e.g. sbs2k@yahoogroups.com) is being blocked by Emanager. Because I am notifying the recipient a message is sent back to the mailing list! How can I deal with mailing lists properly when using Trend E-manager antispam? GFI MailEssentials allowed whitelist addresses to be specified by SMTP To and SMTP from, so could handle this kind of situation. Thanks Neil Tag: File Locking Tag: 152577

    - Hostname Issues with Win 95 Client (Ping) Hi - having a bit of problem with my win95 (urgh!) clients... The Setup: We have a sbs2000 multihomed server with a slightly odd pair of Ip addresses (not setup by us) The internal IP is 111.111.111.150 with subnet 255.255.0.0 The external is 10.0.0.11 subnet 255.0.0.0 And no, i haven't got that wrong.... The external address goes to a firewall - which is why it is a 10.0.0.11 and not a "proper" external IP. (please excuse my improper use of terminology...) We have ISA running on the server, as well as exchange, and it is a domain controller and DNS Server (like most SBS boxes i presume) The problem: If a win95 client pings the server it will occasionally resolve to 10.0.0.10 and other times resolve to 111.111.111.150. This seems to be causing some problems with MS Outlook trying to connect to exchange - it should just resolve to the internal address (111.111.111.150). We have win98 and winxp clients on the network too, and these seem unaffected. For the moment I'm looking at editing the lmhosts file - please correct me if there's a better (server-side?) fix.

Looked at the backup "selections" and noticed that "Microsoft SQL Server "BKUPEXEC" shows up in the list underneath the server, and there is a "/" blue diagonal in the box stating that this is selected to be backed up.

Have another imaging program that also uses MSDE and this, too, is listed in the selections but no files or folders are backed up. What am I missing? I know the files are getting backed up. Is this because MSDE is being used instead of the full blown SQL software? Or there is nothing worth backing up, SQL server wise? John Tag: File Locking Tag: 152564

I've followed the instructions below: However, users who choose not to change their passwords when the Password Change Notification message appears (by clicking No) are logged on with their old passwords and then can change their passwords. This system behavior occurs when the Everyone group hasn't been granted the Change Password right on the user object. Users can't change their passwords over the null session connection (anonymous logon relies on the Everyone group to carry out this action) established between the workstation and a domain controller. Instead, an authenticated session is required to change a password (i.e., users must be logged on to change their passwords).To change the permissions setting for the Everyone group, take the following steps: 1. Start the AD Users and Computers snap-in (Start, Programs, Administrative Tools, Active Directory Users and Computers). 2. Select the View menu and enable Advanced Features. 3. Right-click the container hosting the user object to which you want to grant the Change Password right (e.g., Users), then click Properties. 4. Select the Security tab. Ensure that the Everyone group is listed in the Name box. If it isn't, click Advanced, then add the Everyone group to the list from the Advanced Access Control Settings dialog box. If the Everyone group is listed, click Advanced. 5. Click the Everyone group in the list, then click View/Edit to edit the group's permissions. In the Apply Onto box, click User Objects.

I have stopped the web proxy serv, deleted the *.cdat file in the urlcache folder, restarted web proxy numerous times but still shows old site page. I have rebooted server & at least one workstation, still broke. Deleted all cookies & temp internet files from server and flushed dns. What else should I check? Tag: File Locking Tag: 152522

    - SMTP Relay problems I have an application on each workstation that needs to send SMTP Email. I thought that I would be able to just enter the name of the SBS Server as the SMTP Server. What is happening is that any message that is addressed outside of the SBS Domain is just lost. I donot recieve any error messages, the message just never arrives. I have also tested this using outlook express on both a workstation and on the server. OE works properly on the server, but the test messages get lost when there sent from the workstation Tag: File Locking Tag: 152515

    - SBS V4.0 I have got involved with a company who have SBS sever V4 running. Budgetry constraints mean they cannot upgrade till later in the year, so i will have to do what I can till then. They have had broadband installed will I be able to configure the proxy server to run via a BB modem connected to a 2nd nic or will I have to bypass proxy server. Secondly I suspect it wont be possible to use pop3 mail with exchange server am I correct and advice (besides upgrade!!!) would be appreciated geoff Tag: File Locking Tag: 152514

    - Not sure where to start (Terminal Server) Hi, We are running a SBS2000 network with an attached Win2k server. We need to temporarily set up this seperate win2k server to allow terminal server (we have a 3rd party contractor who needs access to the server from outside our network.) I have never run terminal server on the sbs2000 box let alone on the seperate win2k server. I'm not sure where to start. How should I go about setting this up? Any advice, links etc would be appreciated. Tag: File Locking Tag: 152507

Hi

We have a small file sharing network consisting of W98, W2k, XP and MAC work stations connected to a W2k server. Most of the time everything works fine but we keep getting file locking errors. You will try to delete a file from one machine and after it reports the file is in use on another machine, you find according to the server log it is, but on the machine itself, it's no longer in use. Last time it occured it appeared to be windows explorer that last accessed the file on an XP machine

Has anyone got any clues ??

Many thanks
