mcafee groupshield & netshield - update
Hi.
My sbs2000 connects to the net via adsl, using ppp over ethernet protocol.
Since two weeks ago, I was using a modem and raspppoe to connect, but, as
you suggested, we decided to buy a router and remove pppoe -----"for obvious
security reasons"----
ok, installed the router on the second nic, ran ICW, and everything was
re-configured in few minutes and worked fine
but....
but, starting that day, the antivirus solution installed on the server,
mcafee groupshield and netshield, doesn't auto-update anymore.....
I tried configuring the Av to use or not use the proxy server, but the
result didn't change......
From the server I can surf the web, and even go, using explorer, to
ftp.nai.com where the updates are resident......but the av says "can't
connect to update server".....
Can you help me please???
Forgetting: all the clients are able to autoupdate their mcafee
virusscan....
thanks

I was wondering if anyone can shine some light on this
particular error message. I am not able to find much on
this subject beyond the description of what NetDDE is.
I started receiving this error message and at the same
time I am not able to access one of the servers on our
network. I am able to ping and connect to the server by
using the ip address, but I can't do it via it's name.
I know it is not a WINS problem and all of my network
settings are correct.

Sobig linked to DDoS attacks on anti-spam sites
A senior anti-spam activist is calling on law
enforcement authorities to track down the
perpetrators behind a widespread and sustained
attack on anti-spam sites. The call, from Steve
Linford of Spamhaus, comes along with fresh
evidence that the assaults have been enabled
bythe infamous Sobig worm.

California spam law may face court challenge
When California Gov. Gray Davis signed one of the
nation's most sweeping antispam laws this week,
he didn't end a debate over how the proposal would
affect businesses in the richest, most technology-
savvy U.S. state. Davis merely shifted it from the
Sacramento statehouse--the scene of tense negotiations
among antispam activists, direct marketers and
technology companies--into the court system.

Protecting company data from ex-employees
While companies are relatively accustomed to
requesting the return of building keys and ID cards
from departing employees, they are less vigilant
when it comes to electronic data. Can this lead
to problems? Yes! When employees are terminated
involuntarily, emotions can run high on both
sides of the table.

Report: Lenders miss most ID theft
ID theft has grown so far, so fast, because financial
institutions and other lenders have missed it. A massive
study of 200 million new credit card, checking account
and cell phone accounts opened during 2001 ? with
participants like Citibank, Dell, Bank of America,
and T-mobile ? shows that 7 out of 8 identity thefts
are mis-categorized as simple credit losses by lenders.

New era of malware requires new virus prevention solutions
Victims of the Lovsan/Blaster virus outbreak already
know that simply installing an anti-virus application
is no longer enough to protect against increasingly
complex virus hybrids designed to wreak havoc on
workstations and servers across the globe.?Today's
virus writers are more than script kiddies looking
to make a name for themselves with a piece of Visual
Basic code,? says Ryan Price, CEO of Y3K Group,
South African provider of content security solutions.
?They now create hybrid worms that use a variety
of mechanisms to replicate, combining excellent
programming skills with innovative hacker
techniques to cause mayhem.?

mail
Hi
i am running sbs 2000 with a dial up connection to the
internet.
Up until recently, my server would dial up and download
mail and on each workstation in microsoft outlook, mail
would be in the inbox. I could see it without having to
hit the send/receive button in ms outlook.
Now, my server will still dial up and download mail but on
each workstation in microsoft outlook, you have to hit the
send/receive button to get mail.
How can i change this back so that mail goes into the
mailbox automatically again without having to hit the
send/receive button in ms outlook?
I do not understand what has changed as i have not changed
anything.

Domain Name
Hi,
This is probably a stupid question. However, I will ask it anyway.
I have run the SBS wizards to configure AD and Exchange with a domain name
of "mydomain.local".
The mail works fine. But when I checked one of the email addresses, it has
the mydomain.local suffix. E.g. jo.bloggs@mydomain.local
Where in Exchange do I configure the mail to use the internet registered
domain name? For example, microsoft.co.uk suffix? (Other than on the
exchange email addresses tab for each user account). Or is that it?
Many thanks,

Timestamp +2 hours when sending through FTP
Hi all,
I have a problem I could not find an answer to on Google and this ng. Our
server has the correct time and timezone. Files created locally (either on
the server or on the server drive by a connected client PC) have the correct
timestamp.
However, all files sent through FTP have a +2 hours time skew; i.e. when I
send a file now, the timestamp is now + 2 hours. Needles to say, this
creates all kinds of interesting problems I could happily live without.
FTP is on IIS, FTP with server publishing rule and ISA. Server is SBS2000
with all recent servicepacks installed.
I am sure this has something to do with GMT (we're in the GMT+2 timezone),
but I cannot grasp HOW exactly.
Help?

Trend Micro Anti-Virus
I am looking for some feedback from current users of Trend Micro
Client/Server/Messaging Suite.
I am considering their Client/Server/Messaging Suite - 10 users package as
an anti-virus solution for a Microsoft Small Business Server 2000. I want to
be sure I fully understand the licensing before I purchase the product. On
my Exchange server I have about 15 mailboxes configured. However, I only
have 9 workstations. If I purchase the 10 user package, will this protect
only 10 of my Exchange mailboxes or all 15? In other words, is the license
count based on Exchange mailboxes, or client workstations?
If the license count is based on workstations, would I be sacrificing any
protection by purchasing a 5 user license to protect my server and
installing a much cheaper client package like Norton antivirus on each
workstation?
The other question I have is in regards to product and virus pattern
updates. From what I have found I have a 1 year subscription to download all
updates. After the first year is over, what is the annual cost to continue
to downloading virus patterns? I would hope I don't have to invest $600
each year for the latest virus patterns.
Thanks for your input!

Some user can not login
I installed SBS2000 on a Dell PE server and connected 5
WinXP client workstations with no problems.
After a few days, because of certain issues, I re-
installed SBS2000 on the server and configured it with the
exacts settings (domain name, IP, users, etc) as the
original installation.
The problem is that only the administrator user name and
someone else can login on the workstations. All other
users can not login.
I'm suspecting that I must reset something on the WinXP
workstations in order for the order users to login.

Group Policy and Terminal Services Question
My company has serveral directors who have two computers. One in the office
on the LAN, and one at home. They use their home PC to connect in over a VPN
and use Terminal Services to access their data. I therefore, have two
servers set up, a SBS2K server and a Win2K Server set up for Terminal
Services in Application Mode.
I would like to configure a group policy to disable various aspects of the
directors terminal services sessions (such as disable the shutdown command,
etc.) but allow them normal access to their LAN PC's. I know it is possible
to limit their Terminal Services sessions by settings up a OU in Active
Directory > setting a User-based group policy with the appopriate settings
on that OU > and finally moving the user account into the OU. Does anyone
know how to achieve a scenario where, when they log in at the office these
settings don't apply?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Info Store crash
That was it ! thanks Gizmo, It was the Anti-Virus
Software, we used Sophos. The bit about disconnecting the
mailboxes was because of the fact we'd tried removing
Exchange from AD and re-installing, and it doesn't like it
one bit. No, it was definately the AV Software. We took a
chance and uninstalled it for a week and exchange ran as
normal. We then re-installed sophos and everything carried
on as normal. We also made sure that the AV was not trying

New VPN installation has ISA problem?
I have an SBS2000 installation at home on which I have just run the Remote
Access wizard. It happily lets me login via a workstation at work. But
about a day after setup we are finding here at home that workstations
intermittently cannot surf the web. The ISA client refuses to refresh at
this time (either the server is down or it is not an ISA server is the
message, although it immediately refreshes if I put in the IP no of the
server... but still no browsing.) The problem seems to go away after a few
minutes. Also we are finding that some people are having trouble logging on
here.... again an intermittent problem.
We have a fixed IP with a 56k modem here at home.

How much are TS licences? I read a post suggesting that If I buy Windows
2003 Server I can install Windows 2000 Server from my existing SBS disks and
use the 2003 Server licence to cover it, is this true?

SP4 is not available for client deployment
Hi,
I installed SBS SP1a which included SP4 for 2K server. I
have 2 problems.
1. The install instructions indicated that the SP4 would
be available for attended install the next time a client
user logged on. Does not happen and SP4 is not available
in the the add software app. Outlook 2002 is avaiable for
deployment. All clients are Win2K SP3.
2. I cannot access the modem. The computer can query the
modem, however, it will not trigger a dial out.
Thanks for any advise.

Limited time access to a computer
I would like to set a limited tme to a computer, to which an user shall have
an access.
In the user addiministration pannel it is possible to set this.
I observed that it is working tis way so the user really canot logon if the
time is not right.
But as long as he is logged his computer works regardles of the fact that
his time to logon is over.
Is there any way to limit a time the user uses his computer (this mean
closing th session after the user time is over).
with regards

Access to a file
We have set up an agreement with an outrside andomistrator who will get from
us a full remote acess to our server.
I wander if there is any way not to allow him to access a disk with our
company data? Theoretically no problem but since he is an administrator he
will probably make an access to the drive.
Any advice?

SBS Freezing Up
I have a Dell PowerEdge 2600 Dual 2.4 machine with 2GB running SBS (Exchange
and ISA) with 16 users. This system has been deployed for about 7 weeks now
and a problem has occurred for the last two weeks or so.
Every few days the system basically locks up and requires a reboot to get
everything running again. The course of events begins with the Information
Store shutting down and basically the system just gets slower and slower
from that point until a reboot is done. After the reboot everything is good
again for 2-3 days and the same issue occurs. Each time I have verified that
the Info Store is down and you can not simply restart it - that fails as
well. For the time being I have set a dependency on the Info Store service
that if it fails to reboot the PC. Hopefully this will buy me a few more
days.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Event ID: 2019 nonpaged pool empty
Recently we had a problem at a customer's site where 12 of 16 desktop PC's
were failing.
These are Dell Desktop PC's.
The failure occured every 5 days, like clockwork.
When the failure occured the event viewer was filled with:
"Event ID: 2019
Description: The server was unable to allocate from the system nonpaged pool
because the pool was empty"
Note that 4 of the customer's PC's did not develop this problem.
Task Manager, Performance tab, showed that the "non-paged" Kernel memory was
slowly but steadily being used up.
This resulted in a non-functioning PC after 5 days.
Researching the event on the internet led to:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;177415
"How to Use Memory Pool Monitor (Poolmon.exe) to Troubleshoot Kernel Mode
Memory Leaks"
The use of poolmon indicated a problem with a "tagged" driver, where the tag
was "Smax".
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;298102
"How to Find Pool Tags That Are Used By Third-Party Drivers"
Poolmon requires the user to watch the display for hours.
Several high usage "tags" were noticed.
Several of these tags can not be found using the above method. Presumably
these are Microsoft drivers, and therefore need not be found because they
could never be a problem. Hah.
The driver found was:
c:\winnt\system32\drivers\smwdm.sys
driver name: smwdm.sys
file version: 5.12.1.3508
modified: may 28 2003
This driver is used by the "SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio" device.
The driver is authored by Analog Devices.
The remaining 4 not-failing PC's had a different driver:
driver name: smwdm.sys
file version: 5.12.1.3538
modified: dec 20 2002
Note that the revision number differs in only one digit.
We used device manager to disable the SoundMax Integrated Audio.
Task Manager, Processes tab, showed that the Kernel Memory Nonpaged usage
growth stopped immediately.
Trying to do the right thing, we went searching for the updated driver.
Since these were Dell PC's, we went to the Dell driver download site.
At the Dell site, the SoundMax is also named "Analog Devices AD1885
Integrated Audio" .
Unfortunately Dell only provided the failing driver version, and not the
newer version.
Yes, the 4 non-failing PC's were Dell also.
Dell does not keep the drivers download section up to date.
We went to the Analog Devices site.
Unfortunately, Analog Devices does not provide drivers for download, and
instead refers users to the PC Manufacturer or Mainboard manufacturer.
Since Dell was not helpful, we looked at intel, who manufactures the Dell
mainboards.
Intel provides many drivers for many motherboards, and many drivers for
"Analog Devices AD1885 Integrated Audio".
But these drivers appear to be Mainboard specific.
We did not have the option of traveling to the customer's site, and
dis-assembling each PC to determine the Intel Mainboard identification.
An updated driver for these PC's has not yet been found.
But we have at least solved the main problem. The loss of sound capability
can be handled.
This problem has cost us a considerable amount of time and trouble.
The result of the problem is a mysteriously dead PC.
Since Dell, Microsoft, Analog Devices, and Intel were all involved, it
should have been much easier to locate and repair.
I post this here in the hopes that others may be spared the time and
trouble. Tag: TS - Run App on Logon not always working Tag: 132694
4 processors showing up
New SBSer here,
I have a dual processor machine with a fresh SBS
installation, showing 4 processors in the server status
console (performance counters section of the window). Is
this normal?
Also, just hooked up the first workstation and it takes a
very long time to log in. I have pretty much just run
through the to do list and that is all. This is a brand
spanking new setup.
thanks in advance gang...

SBS Server 2003 set up
I'm opening another office and want to keep customer
information at only one location. I plan to use VPN for
the remote clients to access the server. I plan to use MS
Access for the client forms (I know it integrates with SQL
Server), and to use Quickbooks Pro too.
Is it a problem to use Quickbooks Pro (allows networking)
on one server for both offices, and will there be a
signficant decrease in speed in my remote applications if
I'm using a regular DSL connection. Tag: TS - Run App on Logon not always working Tag: 132683
Still have probs with DHCP
Hi, I've read thru the posts here and tried the fixes w/o success.
Here's what I have done:
1. I have a SBS 2000 with 1 NIC. Default setup.
2. If I set static IP, I can see / login to server.
3. DHCS, WINS, DNS all running w/o errors.
4. Added 003,006,044,046. to DHCP scope. No change. Even tried 015. No
change.
5. Tried 046 with 0x1 and with 0x8. No change.
6. Problems exist with workstations running XP Pro and also Win98.
Static IP's work fine.
7. Tried to remove autosense from NICs. No change.
8. ipconfig /renew give me an error: unable to connect to your dhcp
server. request has timed out.
I'm running low on ideas :)
Any help would be really appreciated.

Adding TServer to SBS Fax Modems?
I am in the final stages of purchasing a new server to add to our SBS as a
Terminal Server. My Question, do shared faxes from the TS sesssions go
through the SBS box or the TS box. Do I need modems on the TS box for fax or
RAS?

- I can insert only subnet with prefix 32 "192.168.1.1/32" (other
prefis are not accepted) but the problem is always present.
My network is static and configured with subnet mask 255.255.0.0 and
differente group under a private address 192.168.1.x for server,

Office chaotical Pinging problem
I'm running my 13 PCs educational computing class for
about 2 years - I have 1 Windows 2000 Server running as
Domain controller and NAT and 12 workstations runing
Windows 2000. I was making my cleanup re-installation on
all the workstations and server and then something went
wrong - a lot of ICMP (Port:0 - I supose it's Ping reply)
messages started to travel around local network and soon
after that outside my office on internet. The only way to
stop it was to install the firewall on my server(that's
when I first saw the amount of the connections and IPs
where the messages where delivered-all the 159.*.*.* and
192.*.*.* domains - Latvian Locales), but it helped just
to make the server work properly otherwise it hanged up
(even mouse wasnt responding). But the firewall made some
other headacke for me - there was no internet on any other
computer than server, once I removed the firewall - the
pinging started again. One night with only server working
on the internet, there was ~50Mb of internet traffic only
of ICMP(Port:0) Packets (~212bytes each). So what could
that problem be, I can't work already for 2 weeks (nobody
can in my office). Please Help! Tag: TS - Run App on Logon not always working Tag: 132641
