    - NDR is not working! Hi, We are running SBS2000 with Exch2kSP3. We have around 40 mailboxes setup to be <firstname>@domain.com, where we pick up POP3 from our ISP and download mail into our SBS box via GFI MEss. If I send an email to our domain that is not configured as an SMTP in the mailboxes, e.g. elephant@domain.com, then GFI Mess picks it up as processed OK, but where does it go? There is not a mailbox existant for this person called elephant - so where does it go? I was looking at newsgroups and added in the Default SMTP Virtual Server>Properties, Messages tab, Send copy of non-del reports to and put my email address in there (administrator) as my name@domain.local. Is this correct? I need help!!! I sent some test messages to our domain name for non-existant recipients and I am not getting an NDR back in my yahoo webmail account! skc Tag: Group Policy Questions Tag: 167474

    - Routing and remote access Hi, I have an SBS 2000 server which for some reason stops talking to the internet as soon as I try to configure routing and remote access to allow remote users to connect via VPN. I have re-run the CEICW and checked the bindings in the advanced option for the network settings. I have two NICS and ISA installed and then also a firewall/router running on the WAN connection. I have run through Microsofts articles on making sure that SBS is configured correctly for 2 NIC's. For some reason the clients are also having some trouble (with or without the Routing and Remote access configured) with data speed accross the network being very slow. (if I copy the data locally and try to open it is very quick, from the server, veerrryyy sllloowww.??!!?? Sounded like Bindings problem and or DNS/WINS problem to me but cant find any faults there. No errors in event logs...................... Client PC's are Windows XP Pro running SP2 with all the latest updates on server and clients. Any help with the network speed and RRAS would be greatly appreciated TIA Terry Tag: Group Policy Questions Tag: 167473

    - TS access only 2 users? Hi One of my customer is using VPN remote access, it works pretty well. An additional remote user needs to access the server & use TS to run an application. The application software writer has set up a new remote user, but by using active directoty, not the SBS user wizard. (Despite my instructions to always use the wizards). It seems that after about a week, this user is losing their TS desktop settings & it has to be set up again. Is this normal? Also it appears that TS will only handle 2 users at once. Is this correct?

    - SQL & Exchange Take it to the ring Hello all, one of my clients has recently been provided with a new version of the Financial Planning software, which uses SQL server rather than the server-side data files. Previously we have never had any issues with memory, but we are finding that the system is becoming slower & slower, and is starting to drop connections to other third party applications, which utilise fox-pro databases. The current config is: Dell Poweredge 2500 P3 800 x 1 1024Mb Ram (4x256) 3 x 32 Gb SCSI Raid 5 My question is to find out what the most effective solution may be from the following: 1. Somehow limit the memory allocation of the SQL database. 2. Throw another 1024 (2 x 512) Memory into the box 3. Change over the CPU to a faster 1.4Ghz (What issues can I expect with this option) Thanks in advance. Tag: Group Policy Questions Tag: 167465

    - VPN setup on SBS2003 Can some one advise on how to setup VPN on our SBS2003. Objective: Home users should be able to access the folders on the SBS2003 located in the office. The home users are equipped with XP Laptops and an ISP connection via Cable or DSL services providers. SBS2003: This server's NIC is assigned 192.168.x.y and this server is also connected to DSL router provided by "Speakeasy". They have given us a static IP 68.236.c.d The question is what are the steps I should take to acheive the above objective. I have gone through www.smallbizserver.net but not much of help. It says,I should use ISA Management snap in to enable the VPN. I did not find such snap-in on my SBS2003. Any help is appreciated. Tag: Group Policy Questions Tag: 167440

    - SBS machine slowing down.... I have noticed our Windows 2000 Small Business Server slowing down over time. Today I took a look at the task manager and noticed that out of 1GB RAM, it was running with only 28mb RAM remaining.... When I dug into the issue a bit more I noticed a process called STORE.EXE sitting at 734mb RAM. Why is this process taking up so much RAM? I have been planning on adding RAM to this machine and I guess I need to do it soon. I will also reboot to see if some can be reclaimed. I just want to know why this gets so large, and what I can do to minimize it? Thanks, Brad Tag: Group Policy Questions Tag: 167431

    - problem with CHKDSK on SBS2000 Hello. Looking or a little help... My customer is running SBS2000. Everything HAD been running fine with the server for a long time (3+ years). There server has a five SCSI hard disk drives in a hardware RAID 5 (4 drives int he RAID array, plus a hot spare). Today, they started having problems with their database program - which uses SQL Server. Rebooting the server fixed the problem for a little while, but then the problem returned again. While troubleshooting the SQL problem with the Tech Support staff of that software vendor, they noticed a single a single instance of the following error in the event log: ========================================== Event Type: Error Event Source: Ntfs Event Category: Disk Event ID: 55 Date: 11/7/2004 Time: 4:19:59 AM User: N/A Computer: NTSERVER1 Description: The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume C:. Data: 0000: 00 00 00 00 02 00 4e 00 ......N. 0008: 02 00 00 00 37 00 04 c0 ....7..À 0010: 00 00 00 00 32 00 00 c0 ....2..À 0018: 18 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........ 0020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........ ========================================== We ran CHKDSK (with /F parameter). It got to 43% complete on stage 4 of 5, and just hung there. We waited for more than 2 hours. The hard disk drives continued to thrash like crazy, but no change in the percent complete. We called Microsoft Support, and opened case number SRX041108607622. We waited another 1-2 hours, but there was still no change in percent complete. After 3+ hours of waiting, the MS Support Engineer had us reboot the server. The server booted okay into Windows. (Thank God!). We then rebooted the SBS2000 server using the recovery console, and ran CHKDSK from the recovery console. It went smoothly to 60% complete, and then just hung (no "stages" shown when running the CHKDSK from the recovery console.) After waiting 15+ minutes and there being no change in percent complete, the MS Support Engineer had us reboot the server. The server booted okay into Windows. We confirmed that no errors are shown in the RAID software - all of the drives are online and healthy,with zero errors reported. We are going to wait until the staff starts working again in the morning, to see if SQL Server runs okay,or if the errors start again. We are pretty sure that the Tech Support staff for the database program is going to wash there hands of helping until we can get CHKDSK to complete. The MS Support Engineer was telling us the next step would be to format the c-partition, reinstall Windows and restore from a prior tape backup ( we have Veritas Backup Exec running). Before we did that, I thought I would check with the Newsgroup and see if anyone had any ideas for how to get CHKDSK to complete. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks. Lloyd Wolf Wolf Consulting, Inc.

    - Restoring Exchange We have a SBS box that we are shifting to a new box. We haven't used the migration wizard as we will be using the same domain. We have setup up the new box and entered all the users in. We want to transfer Exchange from the old on to the new one. What is the best way to do it? We were going to use Exmerge but the process was going to take too long. We have tried restoring the information store to the new box (everything is setup identical between the two boxes), but cannot reconnect the mailboxes (we get a C1038af7 error which we looked on Technet but it didn't resolve it). How would you do this restoration process? We want a process that takes minimal time and works fine! Matt Tag: Group Policy Questions Tag: 167393

    - User accounts being deleted Hi all, hope you can help with this problem. We have a SBS2K sever with 40 client workstations attached. The clients are a mixture of win2k and XP. A few weeks back I noticed that users accounts on their workstations had been removed, meaning anything that required admin rights on their PC was denied to them. I reset these by logging onto each system as a local administrator and added the domain users and domain administrators account to each one, but over a period of a couple of days these accounts have been deleted with the exception of one windows XP machine. I have repeated this exercise several times, and each time the accounts disapeared, sometimes in minutes, somtimes taking a couple of days. It is not possible that someone is manualy removing these as I have witnessed this happening when no one else has access to the network. I have checked for viruses, spyware, and any unusual registry entries on server and clients. There is also nothing set in group policies. Any help would be much appreciated, this is driving me mad.

I had a similar problem where I couldnâ??t install Norton Anti-virus from the server to the workstation, it wouldnâ??t connect to the workstation and gave me the following error, â??cannot access admin$, contact system administratorâ??. Turned out I turned off the firewall settings in the local area connection settings on the workstation and it worked. I turned off the same settings in this case thinking it may help and still canâ??t ping the workstation. Tag: Group Policy Questions Tag: 167354

    - Firewall Client Question With all the technology upgrades between WIN2K and XP, especially after the latest XP SP is it necessary to install the firewall client on a workstation running XP on a Small Business Server Network? Seems to me that itâ??s important to turn off the built in firewall because some application (like Norton Anti-Virus) canâ??t find the computer on the network therefore cannot install the application remotely when XP firewall is turned on.

    - Database/WebAccess I am trying to formulate a strategy to enable customers to access our database from the web. I think it would be preferable to have the database inhouse rather than on a external server provided by a hosting company...I currently use small business server 2000, does this have the capability to enable me to set up web access directly through our own server?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 !

    - Wireless Laptops and DHCP To the newsgroup: Currently, a client has 5 laptops on an 802.11g network. We've noticed slight delays at times when passing off from one WAP to another in the building and the issue appears to be that a new IP address is requested from the server and there is a DHCP error. At first, the DHCP server (the Small Business Server 2000) does not give out an IP address but then the server does. And you notice the lag time. To test, I've manually set the IP addresses on 3 laptops, still connecting wirelessly and the delays disappear, and this makes sense, less DHCP errors. The DNS server is still 192.168.16.2, my IP forwarders are correct on the server. I am going to set the DHCP server on to Auto again so the client can go to their hotspots. Is there a way to reduce this delay on either the client or server? Here is the typical error: Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network (from the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address xxxxxxxxxxxxx. The following error occurred: The operation was canceled by the user. . Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server. Your tips would be appreciated. Smith Tag: Group Policy Questions Tag: 167316

    - moving shared folders in preparation for upgrade Can anyone tell me how to move a shared folder on my SBS computer to a new drive which will allow users to continue to access the contents after the move. Will the permissions stay the same if I simply move the folder using Explorer? Several users have locally mapped drives to these folders, will these continue to work or must they be recreated on each users computer. I searched the SBS help and can't find any reference to moving shared folders. Thanks in advance. Tag: Group Policy Questions Tag: 167315

    - (newbie) replacing a client workstation I've been managing a small SBS2000 network for the past two years but so far have not had to make any configuration changes until now (someone else set it up originally). I want to replace an older workstation (one with Windows 98SE) with a newer XP Pro machine. I installed XP Pro on the new machine (it got a HD upgrade) and gave it the same name as the one it's to replace. I also set up some local user accounts (which I'm not sure was necessary). I'm not sure what to do next though, and so far I have not tried connecting it the network. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Pat Tag: Group Policy Questions Tag: 167305

    - Password Change Problem I have a SBS2000 network with XP Pro clients. Been running fine with not problems for many months. Now, when a user changes their domain password, the machine seems to continue to login to the domain OK but the user can't access any network services (Outlook, Web via ISA server) without getting prompted by these services for username and password. For example, when opening Outlook, she gets a login prompt with her SBS2000 username and domain filled in, she fills in the new password she just changed to, and Outlook opens. Same thing with ISA server. Hit IE, get prompted for a login, put in new password, goes through OK. Seems like the client may still be trying to submit the old password as part of the initial authentication. I need help! Gary Tag: Group Policy Questions Tag: 167304

    - ton of undeliverable emails Hi, Every day there are a few hundred undeliverable emails in the adminstrator inbox for users who do not exist in our domain. I have always figured these were just failed attempts by spammers fishing for valid email addresses. For example, we'll have emails to mark@ourdomain.com joe@ourdomain.com horsby@ourdomain.com Some of the names are pretty crazy. Anyway, these email addresses don't exist so they go to the admin box as undeliverable. Should I be concerned or is it just really failed attempts by spammers. Do other have this problem?

I am trying to setup Group Policy on our SBS 2000 machine. The main reason
why we are doing this is to roll out a DSN registry key for an ODBC System
DSN.

I have opened up AD, right-clicked>Properties and I can see in there a Group
Policy tab and in there listed Default Domain Policy. I have added a new GP
called "company policy" with no overide ticked.

Questions...

1. Now, how do I apply this policy to a user or machine?
2. Can I add a key in there for a registry update on clients?
3. Can I add an ODBC System DSN to be updated on the clients?

I ticked the Apply Group Policy for myself and my machine name when I
right-clicked the Group Policy Name in the Group Policy tab when I
right-clicked the server in AD>Properties.

The user configurations get appied to the machine when I log off and log on
again. I rebooted the machine and I cannot apply the Registry key in
Computer Configuration>Windows Settings>Registry.

Help please!!

Thanks.
