    - Microsoft Shared Fax Service I have set up the shared fax service on our office server. When I try to fax multiple sheets from an excel work book along with a cover page I have to do it two steps, it will pick up the cover page and the first selected worksheet the first time and fax them, then it will let me fax the last two sheets and a cover page. I need to be able to send all the sheets in the workbook at the same time. Can you help me with this. Chuck Tag: Guru ? - Creating shared folders to resolve issue previously posted. Tag: 128962

    - Is Trend still the best Antivirus for SBS2000? Hi Does any one have a strong opinion about AV for SBS? It seemed that Trend was the favourite but now they have stopped the SBS package it seems there are less fans.... We have not actually used Trend here in the UK because they are so pig headed - it took weeks to get a straight answer from Trend or any Trend distributor, that they would not sell the SBS ver in the UK. And with various install issues cited and no demo version available we stayed away. We have used McAfee but they are less easy to setup on SBS. Currently we use Symantec Corp edition with or without Exchange support, it installs very well and works ok... just that the definitions seem slow to be updated and the last outbreaks caused us a little concern! hence a look at alternatives. Has anyone an opinion about GFI solutions? GFI software is really great but they don't seem to have an Exchange scanner. any thoughts / recommendations much appreciated Dan Tag: Guru ? - Creating shared folders to resolve issue previously posted.

    - IBM xSeries 205: installing a performant graphic board possible/advisable ? Hi, I intend to buy a xSeries205 (the SCSI model)and to use it sometimes as a server for testing purposes, but more often as a powerful workstation. (why the xSeries 205? IBM service and it sounds strange, the cage/case looks quite nice..) 1. Is there any problems to install/run one of the latest graphics boards? 2. Is Adaptec the manufacturer of the Ultra 160 SCSI board? Thank`s very much for any tip! John Tag: Guru ? - Creating shared folders to resolve issue previously posted. Tag: 128923

    - DNS Problem. I have noticed that under the Forward Lookup Zones -> mydomain.local, in the right hand pain I can see all the machines on my domain. But I have got some entries in there that are old machines and laptops which have not been on my network for sometime. Is this normal behaviour or should the DNS server be purging this now out of date information. many thanks for your thoughts SC Tag: Guru ? - Creating shared folders to resolve issue previously posted.

    - Group Policy Settings I am very new to Active Directory and Group Policy, so these questions are probably very basic. 1) I am setting up Group Policy on a new install of SBS. I apply my policy changes on the domain level. All policy changes are in effect when logging on to a client workstation. Also, when I login to the server as Administrator the same policies are in effect. How can I prevent this policy from being used when logging on to the server? An example of the problem this causes is I want to lock down the ability to modify network adapter settings. This works great when logged on a client machine, but when I logon to the server I need the ability to modify network settings. I tried to apply the policy settings at the "My Business" organization level, but they had no effect on the server or client. 2) I have figured out how to import Windows XP policy templates into AD. Changed the UI to classic start menu. I could not find an option to enable the quick launch toolbar by default though. Is this possible through GP? 3) How can I set a specific background picture? Is this only possible by applying a theme? Thanks for the assistance, Don Tag: Guru ? - Creating shared folders to resolve issue previously posted. Tag: 128909

    - Help - Funnies on SBS box Over the last few days we have been having very strange things going on. Thursday to Friday there was a huge amount of upload on to the web. Friday in 20 hrs 1Gb!!! It turns out that I think something was running using port 25 coz as soon as I blocked port 25 all traffic stopped. It wasn't exchange from what I could see. No emails queued and nothing going on in the GFI MailSecurity mail monitor. I have scanned the server and all work stations for using CA eTrust and any other Trojan and virus product that I can find but nothing is detected. Sunday evening at 12:27 and then last night 12:17 the server crashes. It is turned off, no power etc.. When the server is rebooted the eventlog says that the server recovered from an unexpected shutdown at 12:27 and 12:17. I have today downloaded the GFI Network Scanner and it has found port 10,000 TCP open and running webmin. What is webmin and can I closed this!! As far a I know there are no services that should be running on this port. I can telnet and browse to this port, but get a number of strange characters. I have tried to stop IIS but the port still remains active. Any suggestions? TIA Dave Tag: Guru ? - Creating shared folders to resolve issue previously posted. Tag: 128907

    - SBE 2000 Upgrade - Missing 4.5 disks. I am doing an upgrade for a company from SBS 4.5 to SBE 2000 and have bought the upgrade license and software for SBE 2000. However the company have misplaced their original 4.5 disks (not the license) which the 2000 install needs for the upgrade (Disk 1). Is there anyway around this or will they need to try and buy the 4.5 disks somewhere? Tag: Guru ? - Creating shared folders to resolve issue previously posted. Tag: 128897

    - repost - Please read Marina Roos Marina thanks but i am more confused than ever. Can you please explain to me again. I have got mail going to an isp account eg. snort@yaka.com.au. It has 5 alias names such as pete@hard.com.au etc.etc. Notice that the domain names are different. Now, in exchange i have an internal domain setup. I also have got an internet domain registered as well. When i setup ICW do i put in the domain name yaka.com.au? Do i setup an account in AD for Snort, Pete and the other aliases? If i use yaka.com.au - exchange changes the alias user names smtp addresses to pete@yaka.com.au. Can i just create the alias smtp address and make it the primary? Will mail get to the account snort@yaka.com.au even though i have no account setup in exchange for it?

    - Services stopping and no external mail being sent or received. I have an SBS2K server which has experienced the multiple Event 7031 errors. It seemed to happen after installing the KB832980 patch. At first it would stop after about 24 hours and need a reboot then after about a week it started happening every couple of hours. The symptoms are exactly as described in the Knowledge Base article316612. I've checked for signs of Nimda, Code red II and some other more recent viruses but can't find antything so I suspected a corrupt Metabase file and unistalled/reinstalled IIS and reinstalled Exchange as detailed in KB article 320202 but it's still happening. Next I created a new SMTP Virtual Server but when I stop the Default SMTP Server and start the new one I'm unable to send outgoing mail I get an undeliverable reply stating "A configuration error in the e-mail system caused the message to bounce between two servers or to be forwarded between two recipients." I've compared the default and new SMTP VSs and they have exactly the same settings. Can anyone suggest how I can send mail through the new SMTP VS and if this doesn't solve the problem suggest what the next thing to check would be.

    - More Exchange 2000 restore problems Hi Again, After my sp3 escapades, I have now restored back to SP1 and got the information stores mounted from backup. I now have the following strange problem which I am sure is a coincidence. All the mail has come into the server, but all the female users are not recieving mail. This is both internal and external. (has my server turned into a sexist pig). The users affected can send mail. I found the emails sent to them in the SMTP\Default SMTP Virtual Server\(local delivery). I can see the messages there, and they are also in the bad mail directory. So my questions are; 1) Why has this occured to only 4 users out of 20. 2) What do I need to look for, can't see anything in the event log? to resolve the issue and get them recieving mail. All your help has been great so far, many thanks. Denis Tag: Guru ? - Creating shared folders to resolve issue previously posted. Tag: 128881

    - Exchange via Dialup I have SBE 2000 installed with Exchange and ISA on the same server. On the server I have an internal card and a dial up modem to an ISP (with static IP). I have configured the ISA server to dialup when a browser is opened and this works fine. However how do I configure the Exchange server to send and receive SMTP mail via the dialup connection? My ISP is Demon who detect when you are online and sends SMTP mail to the fixed dialup IP address. Any ideas or docs would be appreciated.

Exchange IS installed, Version 6 Build 4329.1 Service Pack 1, according to System Manager, and it's running without problems, yet the NAI refuses to see it. So tried SBSSP1a, which upgraded to Win2kSP4 just fine, but again, the Exchange SP3 patch therein refuses to "see" the existing installation.

    - Replacing LAN NIC instructions I want to replace my LAN side network interface card in my SBS2000 server. It's currently set up as 192.168.16.2. The old card is a 10Base-T and the new on is a 1GBit server card so I'm doing it for obvious reasons. My concern is that a simple power and card swap will not work as I believe Windows will retain the old card information based upon its MAC address. Has anyone done this change before?

    - Wow! - try out the Group Policy Management Console if you have XP Hopefully not preaching to the choir, but this is well worth trying out. Was slightly irritated to have to join XP Clients to my exclusively Win2k domain (wonderfully cheap IBM NetVistas), but some of these new MS tools that run on XPPro + Win2003 Svr (and can simultaneously deal with Win2K Server) are pretty neat. As I believe our US cousins say. Susan had mentioned it, so I downloaded the GPMC from www.microsoft.com/downloads and it is really feature packed (and pretty easy to use). The ability to generate cute reports on effective GP results is worth getting it for alone. If you've struggled with controlling GP settings, and have a spare XP Pro client, definitely try it out. There's also an 'adminpak' download (again Win2003 / XP Pro / Win2k Server) which has good Remote Desktop faciility. Now all I need is someone to answer my very basic GP .adm question below.... :O) Tag: Guru ? - Creating shared folders to resolve issue previously posted. Tag: 128823

Can't CTRL+ALT+DELETE have to turn off and turn on again to boot normally. The event logs do not report the previous shutdown as unsucessful. We remove both these apps and this gets the server back to normal shutdown. It seems to be something to do with the Java component of both these apps. They both come with a different version.

    - hyperterminal cannot talk to router via com ports Hyperterminal is telling me it cannot access my com ports and to check port settings. My com ports are working for other devices. However, I need to communicate with my router and I prefer the command line interface that I get via hyperterminal. I haven't tried this connection in some time but it worked in the past. (The router is a Speedstream 5831. It also has a web-style interface but I've never been able to get it to work in SBS 2000 with two nics set up per the relevant MS Q docs.) Device Manager says I have an unidentified PCI serial port but I don't have a driver that Win2000 likes. Could this be the problem or does anyone have a similar experience?

This all began earlier today when my network connections disappeared from the server. I tried unloading & reloading network services, and even rebooting the server. IPCONFIG showed only my LAN adapter (I also have a WAN adapter & was running NAT). I eventually removed both adapters and resinstalled them, but now RAS will not load, so network clients have access to the server, but not through NAT to the net.

All of my workstations are constantly hooked to the internet and don't go through the server since we have so many other services running on the one server. I have tried hooking up the second NIC and had confusion and the inability to see others on the network so I disconnected the other NIC. Most of my users are already frustrated with the network, therefore I want the integration of a second NIC to be unnoticeable.

    - RPC server is unavailable I have one other weird thing that is happening on my network. I have aprox. 15 workstations all running XP Pro. I have a printer attached to one of these workstations that is connected using a serial connector. Everyone is able to see this shared printer and print to it for most of the day and then I guess at 5:00 it gives the message "RPC server is unavailable" and will not allow for anyone to print again until they have rebooted. I have checked to see if the user has been signing off while trying to print at 5:00 and nothing has changed. The user is usually still signed on and working at 5:00. Does anyone have any ideas?

It seems that it is dealing with everything being sent to the server. The pc's are being assigned ip's by dhcp in the router and not at the server which i know i need to change eventually and i'm guessing it has to do with a dns issue for you can't program dns in the router i believe. Can anybody give me advice on fixing this issue? Thank you very much, Bill Tag: Guru ? - Creating shared folders to resolve issue previously posted. Tag: 128687

    - Help! Name Resolution Problems Hello all, Having problems with NETBIOS name resolution with WINS on SBS2K. When RAS users connect to the server, the WINS database changes it's Master Domain Browser (1BH) and _MSBrowse_ (01H) IP Address from the Internal NIC of the SBS2K to the RRAS Internal Routing Interface. When this happens, NETBIOS names get dropped from all LAN workstations. Users cannot logon or they get kicked off NETBIOS apps. I tried deleting the records but keeps coming back. Anybody know what's going on? Thanks in advance, Reggie Dones Tag: Guru ? - Creating shared folders to resolve issue previously posted. Tag: 128684

    - VPN connection good - nothing else works. I can make a VPN connection from the remote office in to the server but I can't access any folders or see any other computer in network neighborhood - any ideas? Computer is WIN2K, server is SBS, and I'm connecting through a Linksys router. Everything worked until Time Warner switched the computer from dial-up to a cable modem. Also, the remote computer lost the users admin rights (global user - not local), under administrators group there's only the local admin accounts showing and where the global users account was is now replaced with a bunch of letters and numbers. I'm guessing because the computer isn't authenticating with the server (even though a VPN connection is made) is why the global administrator accounts are appearing like explained above. Do I need to bring the computer into work and re-associate the computer and server again? Any help is appreciated - thanks. Tag: Guru ? - Creating shared folders to resolve issue previously posted.

    - ISA Server detected... troubleshooting the issue Hello All: I had an incredible (even humorous) experience with ISA Server alerts a couple of weeks ago, which I'll share at some point but right now I have a question about a current situation: I'm getting a slow string of ISA Server warnings regarding an all port scan attack (about 10/hr). Block attacker successfully, automatically created a filter. When I check the ISA Array Security Reports from the day the attack started I find that the same IP is listed as a "user" and has a handful of dropped packets (56 or .6% of the total number of dropped packets). My humorous event from a couple of weeks ago involved a different sbs box and a 'legitimate' website. I have a feeling this may be related to a legit website as well. I've already asked the ISP to look into it but they take forever and rarely respond. Can anyone suggest a next fact finding step? Thanks. j* Tag: Guru ? - Creating shared folders to resolve issue previously posted. Tag: 128669

    - Group Policy ADM dates? Putting XP clients on a network for the first time. Alreay have GP in operation to severely lock down Win2k clients Bit confused about updating the ADM file versions to use. a) do I just copy the newer .adm files from the XP Pro client to the server and update/make a new GP object using these new .adms? or b) as kb 307900 would seem to suggest, not have to copy any .adm file as simply going to an XP Pro client and opening the GPO on the server from the client should 'upgrade' the GPO to include XP compatible .adms?? And then there is some talk of Win2k SP having incorrectly updated an adm file??? TIA Tag: Guru ? - Creating shared folders to resolve issue previously posted. Tag: 128666

The Strain I previously posted has sort of died out. We have identified the
problem but not the solution.

This is a stumper:

When using the SBS console "to do list" - add user (wizard)

I get the following message: "The home folder you specified does not exist"

Any words of wisdom regarding this funny little message? Specifically:

What home folder might they be refering to? Answer was: Shared Folder does
not exist? But which one?
How do I resolve this issue?
What folders need to be recreated?
What process is used to create these folders? Is their a wizrad or a
reinstallation process?
