    - Small Business Server 2003 - What's included? I am currently running Microsoft Back Office Small Business Server 4.5 and am thinking of upgrading to Small Business Server 2003. Can anyone tell me what is included in SBS 2003??? i.e. does it include Exchange Server???? I know SBS 4.5 includes Exchange Server 5.5 and was wondering if 2003 is the same. I've been checking out Microsoft's website and watching demonstrations on 2003 and they keep mentioning Exchange Server 2003 but it's vague as to whether or not it is included.

    - Additional sub-nets 192.168.1.x We are adding another server(192.168.16.x) (linux) for a time clock program a vendor provided. This time clock needs to be accessed by two networks on my system, SBS2K's 192.168.16.x, and my static IP's on the 192.168.1.x network. How can I let SBS2K see the 192.168.1.x network, and visa versa? If I change the other non-SBS2K (Win98) wkstns to dhcp, then they loose the default gateway of the router, and can no longer browse the Internet. I would also have the advantages of letting the non-SBS2K wkstns of pulling down anti-virus updates, and other things. Is it doable? Do we need to modify the LAT? The only entry there is 192.168.16.1 - 192.168.16.254.... Tag: << Live Web Chat today at 4 PM PST with Handy Andy and Harry - monthly Tag: 148628

    - 2 Admin accounts Slightly odd one. SBS2k - if a site has 2 part-time Administrator posts (job-share) is it feasible to set up 2 accounts (say 'Administrator' and 'Administrator2' ) which have equal rights? I've only ever used 1 domain admin a/c before (i.e. 'Administrator'). If so, how would this be done, and would there be repercussions?

    - Newbie Help - Setup Well where to start. I am the lone IT clown at my company, and the IT manager wants Exchange install on our new SQL Server so we can IM in office and other things. I am running Windows 2000 Server with SQL Server 2000. I know NOTHING about Exchange, Active Directory, or DNS Server, etc... I am a programmer trying to administer a network I donâ??t yet understand. I have been reading extensive Knowledge base stuff, and have an idea of what I'm doing. Before I install Exchange I must 1) Set up DNS Server (I Think this is done, seems to work 2) Set Up Active Directory(Which I know NOTHING about, and was already installed before I started here 3) Then Install Exchang I have tried to set up the DNS Server as best I can, and it seems to work, but documentation says four folders should be present _msdc _site _tc _ud I don't even know where these folders should be, never mind if they are there. When I run the utility "DCDIAG" for Active Directory, man it looks bad. All sorts of stuff not connecting and running. I did not set up AD nor do I know what is required for it. When I go into AD Sites And Services, under Sites -> Default First Site -> Servers, my named DNS Server is not there, looks like a NetBios name. That seems important. When I try to install Exchange, it says "Multiple Components cannot be assigned the requested action(s) because -Setup is unable to access the Windows 2000 Active Director -Failed to contact the Schema Master server for the Active Directory Forest I am not looking for someone to hold my hand (but you can...ha ha), but I just want someone with experience to try and help me trudge through this, or at least tell me where I may go wrong, common hang ups, etc... Any help is greatly appreciated, and for someone going far and above the call, I'll even mail $5, seriously!!!

    - Hard Drive space I have a SBS 2000 server running with Exchange 2000 on it along with some other stuff included with SBS 2000. My problem is that I keep losing space in my hard drive. A month ago I had 1.5 Gb, last Friday - 750 Mb, and today 30 Mb. I checked on some mailboxes and found a few that were kind of big, but they have always been big. Does anyone know what could be going on or what I can do to stop this. I ran virus scan and couldn't find anything. I did disk clean and freed up some space, but with in 1/2 hour is was back down to 30 Mb or so. Thank you in advance for any help you may have.

    - SBS2003 IIS6 & ISA2000: Cant create a new website accessable from the internet Hi Al I am having a major problem creating a website accesable from from the internet. Background info: server was upgraded from SBS2000 and therfore has ISA2000 on it. It has two netwrok cards, one internal, and one external, bot static. Since upgrading I need to create a new website for a new stream of business. I have contacted my ISP to create a new domain for this site and mapped it to the servers exteranl IP. All fine Now I go to IIS in the server management console, right click in the "websites" pane and sleect New-->Web site. Follow the steps choosing the the exteranl server IP address and typing in the new domain name in the host header field. Finish the wizard and voila, the site wont start. Get the error message "The network location cannot be reached. For more information about Windows network troubleshooting, see windows Help." Right, now trying to troubleshoot this, if i change the IP to the internal one it starts. I have rerun the the Internet Connection wizard and selected Yes to the firewall bit. In the bit where it asks what parts of the server to make availble from the internet, I have selected all, including the website (wwwroot). still no luck. tried a bit of fiddling with ISA but i'm not too hot on it so didn't come to a solution Something I find quite wierd is that the "Default Web Site" (wwwroot) is only set on the internal interface but IS accessable from the internet Can anybody reccomend anything else I can try Thanks for your help Luke Tag: << Live Web Chat today at 4 PM PST with Handy Andy and Harry - monthly Tag: 148604

    - Microsoft Licensing Hi, I work for a non-profit. We serve disabled adults. There are approximately a 100 pc's at our organization. More than half of those are NOT on the SBS server. They have been assigned static IP addresses and are used for Internet access (again through the cable router, NOT SBS). I have a question about licensing. I don't want to violate any licensing, but I would like to take advantage of using the dhcp server to assign all the computers on both networks IP addresses. Does anybody have a handle on Microsoft licensing? Can I use services like dhcp if those machines don't authenticate? Any help would be appreciated.

    - Basic VPN question Sorry if this is a stupid question, but this is the first SBS server I have worked on. Internally the server is working fine, but we now want VPN access and / or OWA. I have gone through the technet help screens, but get confused about how the remote client finds the server through the web - I have tried to use the Server IP address (but this gets a "page cannot be found error) On the internal network OWA works fine so I am sure this mistake is to do with the publishing of the server name.

    - Service Packs and Downloads We have a SBS 2000 server and a Win 2000 TS server. Is there a quick way to determine what service packs are installed for each of the applications that come with SBS 2000 ?. I tried looking under the SBS Admin console. I know I have got SBS 2000 SP1 and Win 2000 SP3 on the SBS and SP3 on the TS. Are there any issues in using either express or network installation when downloading the latest service packs ? We have only got the 2 win 2000 servers and all our 25 WS are either 98 (soon to be upgraded) or XP. Is it better to use SUS or Group Policy to update all the WS with the latest service packs, patches etc ? Thanking you in advance.

    - Frontpage ISA settings? Hi - my website is designed & uploaded in FP to a shared server run by my isp. If I upload using pc directly attached to adsl router then no problems - however if the pc is on the SBS network & therefore behind ISA, the upload gets to the point of asking for the Username & password for the site & then fails to do anything more. I assume that FP on the pc & the FP site at the isp must have to do some sort of handshake(?) and that ISA server is blocking/filtering that. Any suggestions as to how to deal with it?

    - VPN Firewall through ISA I have a SnapGear firewall which I will be using as the VPN end point for my clients, rather than ISA/SBS2K. I intended to run the firewall through the second NIC and ISA Server so I could use the reporting features of ISA. The problem is that because the firewall is a VPN Server it needs to issue IP addresses out from it's subnet, which is 192.168.0.255. The LAN IP range is totally different to this. What do I do? I haven't actively tested this yet as I am still in the early stages but need to prepare before I go too far to turn back. If the VPN clients are issued the 192.168.0.255 address will they still be able to acess the LAN? Any suggestions, comments or further questions most welcome. Thanks. Tippy.

    - ICW requires removal of address from LAT This SBS 2000 server is moving to broadband Internet connection, using a router between the modem and a second NIC. A trial computer plugged into the router can surf the NET, so I am confident the router and modem are set up correctly. ICW on the server objects to the IP addresses assigned to the second NIC by the router, saying they are already in the internal LAT. I need to know how to safely remove an IP address from the LAT. The router is assigning 192.168.0.101 today to the external NIC. Yesterday it was 192.168.0.100. I have been into ISA Administrator and can delete the range from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255. The internal network addresses range from 192.168.16.2 to 192.168.16.x which should be more than enough. Can I safely remove the range indicated above?

    - Outlook and the Mailbox I admin a small school network of about 30 workstations using SBS2000 as our server. All the pupils in the school have a mandatory login profile which makes life simple for us and all the children have the same settings each time they login. The problem is with the use of outlook and the mailbox. I assume that a users mailbox setting is stored as part of the profile so each time a pupil wishes to use outlook they: 1. right click the outlook icon on the desktop 2. find their mailbox using their own name 3. click OK (more than once) 4. run outlook Is there a simple way around this. Can I alter the login script to amend the registry (I have kix32 if that helps). Thanks Dave Tag: << Live Web Chat today at 4 PM PST with Handy Andy and Harry - monthly Tag: 148508

    - VPN resolution problem Hello all. I sure would appreciate any help anyone might be able to offer. Here is my problem. My client has a vanilla installation of SBS2000 (2 NICs, ADSL connection, using ISA as firewall, Win2K SP4, SBS2000 SP1). When we create a virtual private network connection from a Windows XP client, we have no problems - we can see the server and ping it successfully, see shares on the server etc. However, when we connect through VPN using a Windows 2000 client, we can't see squat - can't ping 192.168.16.2, can't see server or shares. I have checked DNS and WINS, and everything seems in order. Any suggestions or other things to check? Thanks!

    - only admins can fax I have SBS 2000 set up with XP clients and an external US Robotics fax modem setup for shared faxing. They were able to fax until I made some security changes. Now the only people who can fax are those in the Administrators group. I have gone through and checked every fax security related thing I can find and am still unsuccessful at getting anyone but an Administrator to fax. When a user tries to print an error occurs on the server saying it failed. Any ideas? Tag: << Live Web Chat today at 4 PM PST with Handy Andy and Harry - monthly Tag: 148501

    - Does Shared Fax support non english characters? I have a client that is trying to send out faxes with Chinese characters in them. However in the fax the Chinese characters are being replaced with square boxes. Chinese characters are installed on the server and they do display in the Shared Fax service console in fields such as recipient name etc. Howerver if you double click on a fax to open it up in imaging you can see that in the acutal fax all Chinese characters are squares. Is this a lack of character support in shared fax or could this be something else? Cheers Damon Tag: << Live Web Chat today at 4 PM PST with Handy Andy and Harry - monthly Tag: 148498

    - SMTP Connector question Last week I changed the way we send out email from Exchange. Previously I had been sending directly to recipient using DNS, but due to IP blocking issues decided to relay all email from my office thru our ISP mail server. At first glance it appeared to work with no problem. But after a few hours, it stops working, and the mail ends up sitting on my server in the "unreachable destination" queue. To set this up I added the ISP mail server in the smarthost field under the advanced tab in the delivery section of the Default SMTP virtual server properties. I also added our ISP username and password in the outbound security tab on the delivery page. I then added the same smarthost to the property pages of the Small Business SMTP Connector. All seems to work well for a short time, then all outgoing mail stops. Am I doing something wrong? To release the mail that gets held up all I need to do is switch back to using DNS in the SMTP connector. Tag: << Live Web Chat today at 4 PM PST with Handy Andy and Harry - monthly Tag: 148491

    - SBS2k and other 2kServers I have a SBS 2k machine on my network. The way I had it join my existing network was to install only 2k server on it, transfer the FSMO roles and then upgrade to SBS2k. Everything worked just fine. but what I am seeing is that when I create a new user on the SBS machine, it creates the user on the other server (like it should) but it has the account disabled. And on the 2k machine when looking at a users Properties, the tabs for exchange, email address, etc is not there. I doubled checked to be sure the FSMO roles are all set on SBS and there are. Also, if I create an account on the regular 2kServer machine, the account gets replicated to the SBS machine, but when I go to the SBS machine, the tab for Email Address's is not there. Any ideas???

Here are a list of the problems we are encountering when we have a live VPN connection. 1 - He can't browse the network via network neighboruhood. 2 - Server name can't be resolved from start>run \\servname 2 - He can't ping the servers local address 192.168.16.1 3 - He is assigned an IP Address of 169.254.23.100 (obviously that's why he can't ping the server but if the address is suppposed to be assigned DHCP well why isn't he getting an IP in the 192.168.16.xxx range as it is the DHCP server for the local network he is loggin on to).
