    - 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: Installing Windows XP Home client on SBS 2000 Tag: 168671

    - Opening Ports for Antivirus Update though Firewall Client Hi I'm using panda antivirus installed on every client machine. But the update engine cannot access the internet correctly. There are setting to point to a proxy server. ie //http:server on 8080. Which is correct. Setting this makes no difference. I have spoken to tech support at panda, and they say that I need to open ports 80 and 8003 for the updates to be carried out correctly. Can anyone tell me how to do this.

    - vpn sbs to sbs Hi All We have managed to connect our 2 sbs sites via vpn but have found that we are unable to terminal services from any computers on the lan to any computers on the other lan apart from the sbs box. The only ones that can terminal services beyond the sbs boxes are the sbs's themselves. On doing a tracert we have found that the destination sbs Ip is as far as it will go. Does anyone know the answer to this, is it ISA blocking or what?. Static routes have been but in ras and the routes have been added on the local machines via route add to no avail. All help on this would be appreciated Tag: Installing Windows XP Home client on SBS 2000 Tag: 168648

    - SMTP Mail not working Just yesterday I noticed no one's mail getting sent out. I checked the Exchanger Vitural Server's Quene and they are all sitting there waitng. The only thing that has changed is our ISP changed our static internet IP address and last week I installed Symantec Mail Security for Exchange Server. The Symantec stuff has been working fine for a week and not sure if the IP address would cause this to happen. Any ideas? Tag: Installing Windows XP Home client on SBS 2000 Tag: 168646

    - Ideal SBS 2003 config We currently have a SBS2000 server and we are looking to go to SBS2003 server starting from scratch, not upgrading.

    - delayed email... Recenlty one of my uses came ot me and mentioned that one of the people she has attempted to reply back to (using "reply") was not getting her email - and that she had not received an NDR as of yet. I checked the Exchange System Management - queue and indeed there was the email waiting to be delivered... The email sat in there for a few days, retrying, waiting to be delivered and then finally after a few days our employee did get an NDR back. She asked me why this was happening (why she hadn;t received an NDR right away) and I mentioned that there could be any number of reasons and rhymed off a couple that I thought may cause it... SHe had received a couple of delayed notices and then finally the NDR came in... What reasons could there be that a seemingly valid email address could not be devlivered? I had mentioned to our employee that it was possible that the receipients server was not allowing incoming emails (the recipient works for the government) and yet this person had asked our employee to respond back to her initial email - so I would think that this person would have been able to receive email in the past... What other reasons could there be? I am just concerned that it may have been an issue at our end but doubt that as once it leaves here, it's out of our control really, and all other external email has been working just fine...

    - Invest $6.00 and make Thousands. Incredible? Check it out. !!!Make A LOT of legal money really fast using PayPal!!!! From: Roger Date: 12/4/2004 Comments: TURN $6 INTO $6000 USING PAYPAL (www.paypal.com)!!! READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! IT REALLY DOES WORK!. I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, Yeah right, this must be a scam, but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and addresses (now e-mail addresses) stated in the article. You then place your own name and PayPal's e-mail address at the bottom of the list at #6. Post the article (with your name in the #6 spot in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands). No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured: what have I got to lose except $6.00,right? Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well, GUESS WHAT!? Within 1 day, I started getting money in my PayPal's account! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $30.00. By the end of the second week, I had made a total of over $240.00! In the third week, I had over $3,000 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week, and I have made a total of just over $7,000 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00! I have spent more than that on lunch!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, WHY it works...Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy! Suggestion: READ THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE CARE-FULLY !! Print it out or download it. Follow the simple directions, and watch the money come in! It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00. IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and, it's 99% risk-free. Best of all-- it really works! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $20,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days PLEASE CONTINUE ITS SUCCESS BY CAREFULLY ADHERING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS. . This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business, your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list. Here are the easy steps to success: Following is a list of six emails registered at PayPal. Send $1.00 to EACH OF THEM using your PayPal\'ae account. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with a lawyer and they confirmed that this is indeed legal. SEND $1.00 TO EACH OF THE FOLLOWING EMAILS using your PayPal\'ae account: 1: Kobragt500@aol.com; 2: pattistreasures@aol.com; 3: Lenny8971@aol.com; 4: chrlwoods8@aol.com; 5: karelvandenberghe@hotmail.com. 6:rogeremp@yahoo.ca. Now delete the #1 email off the list that you see above and move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4,etc.) and add YOUR email as #6 on the list. Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now send this to all your friends. DO NOT SPAM! Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again. PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way if you are of integrity and honesty, the program will continue and the money that so many others have received will come your way. NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 - $1.00 for each of the first six people listed above! Send it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business! DIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS -- Step 1) FIRST make sure it is not a TOS violation to post this message.You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer's memory. Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list. Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different settings, you'll always have this file to go back to. Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try searching for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chatsites, discussions.) Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the \lquote Subject\rquote ; this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group; then click the post message button. You're done with your first one! Congratulations!!! THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within days, perhaps even hours! If you wish to stay anonymous, you can create a separate e-mail account just for this business using free e-mail services like \lquote Hotmail.\rquote (You must add this e-mail account to your PayPal\'ae account. You can have up to eight e-mail accounts on your PayPal\'ae account). Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5,that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $625.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is: do you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the Internet and reading these articles everyday? JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think so... People have said, what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual Internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work. WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND!!! GOD BLESS YOU! P.S. Once you have set up your PayPal (www.paypal.com) account you can get a PayPal/MasterCard for INSTANT access to your money, or link your PayPal\'ae account to your personal bank account for easy transfers!

    - Outlook02 and XP Pro Hi, We are running SBS2000 on a LAN with 60% Win2K Pro with Outlook2002 client and the rest run Win XP Pro with Outlook 2002 client. What I have noticed is that when users view their Exchange Mailbox on the XP Pro machines using Outlook 2002 client, they need to click around the folders (e.g. Sent Items) in folder view to refresh their Inbox, otherwise any new emails would not appear in their Inbox automatically. If you hit Send/Receive it makes no difference at all. Is this a known problem? Please let me know on how to fix. skc Tag: Installing Windows XP Home client on SBS 2000 Tag: 168605

    - SBS2K with MIS 2002? Hi all, Think I may already know the answer but thought I'd check it out first... I know that MIS2002 isn't supported for installation on the same box as SBS2K [and that MIS has been superceded with Exchange 2003 which has the functionality built-in] but am wondering if this is one of those situations whereby it would work but was just not the prefered solution. IE it was recommended not to be set-up that way but that it could be made to work... We're going to be moving onto SBS2K3 sometime in 2005 but this is something that would be enormously handy for some of our users to have now. I know they can simply ActiveSync from their PC/laptop to their Smartphones but I'd prefer them to be able to do some while out and about in real-time... If not, fair enough [and I suspect this will be the case, before anyone flames me!] and will use it as a lever to speed up the upgrade to 2K3... :-) Cheers, David Tag: Installing Windows XP Home client on SBS 2000 Tag: 168601

    - netmodem problem I had an XP machine using netmodem conneting to a server(SBS2000). Sometime around installing XP service pack 2, this connection failed (I'm not positive it's related). I've uninstalled and re-installed net modem several times including removing all shared ports and starting over. Following the instructions in "How to set up a Windows XP Professional client in an SBS 2000 network, article ID 316418", the network modem never shows up in device manager so naturally it won't install in "phones and modems". Do you have any idea what I could be missing? Thanks. Rick Tag: Installing Windows XP Home client on SBS 2000 Tag: 168589

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.

    - cant send email but can receive I'm setting up a very small sbc config. All I want to do is have the performance reports send email to an external (bellsouth) email address. I am thinking I have to configure the exchange piece. Ive gotten the pop3 connector working so it pulls email from bellsouth but it will not send email to bellsouth. The message is something about bellsouth not knowing who my domain is. Question is is there a way to have the perf and usage reports sent to a bellsouth account without doing the exchagne config or do I have to do that and if I do have to config exchange how do I get past this error.

    - Spam in Exchange server Hi, I was troubleshooting a problem on my SBS2K server where I am receiving an enormous amount of messages in the badmail folder. I followed the instructions to create a new bad mail folder and delete the old one but am getting thousands of files in the folder per hour. This prompted me to check for unauthorized relaying. When I checked the Default SMTP virtual server's queues, I found hundreds. I followed the steps to clean up the smtp queues (however, the only way I could get the Small Business SMTP Connector to stabilize was by clearing the check box for Anonymous access on the Authentication page of the Default SMTP Virtual Server Properties. This stopped the bad mail messages and the SMTP queues, but also stopped users from receiving e-mail (although they were able to send just fine). Selecting the Anonymous access check box restored the users' ability to receive mail, but also brought back the bad mail messages and the numerous queues. What am I doing incorrectly here? How can I stop the bad messages but allow my users to receive e-mail? Thanks, Dwaine Tag: Installing Windows XP Home client on SBS 2000 Tag: 168533

    - Remote Desktop Web Connection OK, this is new to me and I have read everything I have in book form. Unfortunatly everything is a few years old and talks more about dial-up rather than DSL connections and is absent any XP Pro data. I have also read most of the thread and just don't seem to be getting it all. :( I have an SBS 2000 machine and I have an off-site XP Pro client. This user wants to administrate the SBS over his DSL connection. The SBS is also using ISA server to act as point of outgoing tunnel for all on-site clients to get to the Internet. So, what's the best way for this user to get the job done?? Does the XP RDWC remove the need for Terminal Services? Do I sitll need to create a VPN connection to use RDW client? I am more confused now than when I started as this point. Any and all help is greatly appreciated Tag: Installing Windows XP Home client on SBS 2000 Tag: 168494

    - add user but no mail store? Hi I have added a new user via the wizard (deleted and re added about 6 times) and cannot connect the user to exchange from Outlook 2003? When she logs on she authenticates to the domain but every time outlook starts and trys to set up, it says cannot find user name in name list. The wizard seems to hang for about 3-4 minutes (or longer sometimes) with the progress bar about half way across then all of a suddon completes. Is that normal? I can't recall it doing that when I set every one else up????? Have checked the mail store and she never gets on the list, even though I used the wizard. In her properties, the email addresses are blank. Have entered details manually and nothing happens?? Have removed a user account that was never used (to free up a liscense) and removed that mail store. Using SBS 2003 standard. Any help would be appreciated.

    - roaming user profile: odd behavior Hello, I have roaming user profiles setup in my office. the other day a user went to log in with a terminal service connection (they were off location), and it took a really long time for it to log on, about 5-7 minutes. And when it finally logged in, her desktop settings were different, and her connection to the exchange server was lost. It was like she had never logged in before, and was never setup to be a user. When she came in the next day and logged in locally, it was the same situation except she logged in much faster. So I reset her exchange connection and now she is working fine. I have concerns about why this happened, and was wondering if thier was any precautions I should be taking with my server right now. The terminal server a seperate machine than from my SBS.

    - Poor data transmission performance in TS Hi group, we've used SBS 2000 for a year now with our Director who lives abroad being able to TS in admin mode to perform admin/ update duties on our Access XP database. There has always been a very very slight lag when he uses the database but now he say's it's around 5 times slower than normal & the excel spreadsheets, (that were no problem before), now has a lag. He can VPN into the Server & use RDP - it's just a performance issue. I've checked the RDP & Server settings - disable wallpaper, disable active desktop, use temp folders & delete on exit etc - setup for ultimum performance in other words!! There are no error messages & nothing in task manager sucks up resources. The annoying thing is that I can use the resources using our backuop adsl line with the same logon credentials just fine. He says there's been no patch updates put on recently & a spybot check proved clean. He's located in Italy & the office with the SBS Lan is in the UK. Is it possible that it could be an issue with his ISP? Any suggestions / ideas are appreciated. Thanks for your time. Stuart Tag: Installing Windows XP Home client on SBS 2000 Tag: 168481

    - Inconsistant User ID requirements for various services I recently moved our small company to SBS 2003. After switching the clients over, a few folks have to use username@ourdomain.local in place of their regular username when logging into certain services (such as IMAP/SMTP, and even accessing sharepoint). The strange thing, is that not everyone has to use this. Myself, and a number of others can simply use their user name....any ideas on what is causing this inconsistency? The only thing I can see that might be common between those that are common with those affected, is the "default" address originally created was an alias (first.last@ourdomain.com as opposed to usernname@ourdomain.com) I haven't verified that it is true on all accounts, but I do know that changing the default address doesn't seem to make a difference after the fact. The two I know are affected were created with different templates, and their memberships don't very too much from those that aren't affected. Any ideas? eric Tag: Installing Windows XP Home client on SBS 2000 Tag: 168480

    - Warning 2: MS04-040/889293 Cumulative Patch breaks Veritas Backup Update Hi, The installation of yesterday's IE cumulative patch on my SBS2K server broke the Veritas Update function on BEWS 9.1. Removing the patch (I'm guessing it was removable because I installed Windows Installer 3 last week) restores the Veritas Update function. This function is highly convenient because it keeps track of already installed updates. One of the functions that the IE cumulative patch modifies is I-Frame, which the Veritas Tech Support guy said is used on the Veritas Update site. The IE patch has no other negative effects that I could see, but that was at best a cursory look. GaryK Tag: Installing Windows XP Home client on SBS 2000 Tag: 168476

    - Prevent user access I have a SBS 2003 server with exchange 2000 and ISA server. I want to prevent a specific user from accessing the internet and her e-mail as well (using outlook 2003). Is there a way where I can disable her internet and e-mail access without preventing any other restrictions to her normal network access (i.e. logging onto domain, accessing mapped drives, etc..)

    - SBS 2003 Anti-Virus Is there a good anti-virus software to put in place on the server end of our network to help increase security and further pervent virus intrusion? I have tried looking at several software solutions, but cannot tell if they will run on SBS 2003. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Tag: Installing Windows XP Home client on SBS 2000 Tag: 168473
