    - Network Adapters in Server Our Dell Power Edge 800 came with a network adapter installed, and another by itself in a box. SBS 2003, of course. The setup instructions tell me to use two adapters, but the setup poster indicates that one can use a single adapter. We have only 5 users max, and I don't know of any advantage to having two adapters instead of just one. Any input would be helpful :) Thanks, Louis Tag: Lost Mail Tag: 171503

    - Replacing NT4.0 server with SBS Server We just bought a Dell Power Edge 800 with SBS. I would like to 'demote' the NT 4.0 server (800MHZ with 256 MB RAM) to a workstation whose only purpose would be to back up files on the network, and store disk images of the workstations. The new server is not in place, and I've not connected to the Internet. It's just on the network with a single network adapter. My question is what should I do to demote the current server to lowly workstation status? As for the workstations, I plan on working on them so they will join the new server's domain. They are XP Pro and one Windows ME (which we will retire if it's a hassle). Tag: Lost Mail Tag: 171502

    - 2000 CALs: fulfillment media (ugh) I am in the process of trying to add some additional CALs to our SBS2000 system. From my understanding I need to purchase SBS2003 license and get extra fulfillment media (floppy disk) so I can add them to the system. I bought the licenses from Dell and mentioned the fulfillment media. When the licenses arrived there was no extra media, the only thing I got was a piece of paper saying I have 5 more licenses. How can I add them to the system? I have call Dell 5 times (support,sales etc) and NO ONE knows anything about this special fulfillment media. This has been very frustrating and I don't see a solution. Can I get this media from a different vendor? Am I asking for the wrong thing? Can I add the licenses without this extra media? (when I put in my original license floppies it says its already been used) Any help would be appreciated..... Tag: Lost Mail Tag: 171501

    - Dynamic IP and SBS 2000/Echange Hi everyone, A friend of mine is setting up a small company to use SBS 2000. Currently the only internet access available to them is either Cable (Non business class) or dialup. What I am wondering is how well Exchange, and ISA are going to work with a Dynamically assined IP from the ISP. The basic configuration is: Server running SBS2000, 3 NICs, Soho3 Firewall, 16 Port 3Com Super Stack, 5 Win2k workstations, with Office 2000. Because of the remote location, the Cable provider has no "business class" services, just straight "end user" services. The Dialup ISP does offer business class, but at a unreasonable cost. I have already checked, and yes, the ports used by SBS are wide open from the cable company, it is not going to block the use of the ports, but I am wondering how it will work to try and sign a Domain dynamically. Is it even possible to configure he new domain that way? The Soho with assign internal Static IPs, but the router/Cable modem will be assigned a dynamic. Any thought or suggestions on this would be appreciated. Chuck Tag: Lost Mail Tag: 171436

    - ASP application Hi SBS2000 all latest patches. XP Pro SP2 & IE6 all latest patches. A customer has a guy writing a .Net application to run on their Intranet. One of the functions of this app is to send a print to a local workstation LPT1 port. (Workstations are XP Pro SP2 with admin rights). He has tried running this on his own W2k server running on a laptop & it works. Trying it on a workstaion attached to the server does not work & he assumes that something is blocking either his .Net app or possibly Windows Scripting Host. He also blamed our ISA server which I have advice that the Intranet does not use ISA. Each workstation runs McAfee Enterprise v8.0i patch 10 & we have tried disabling that. Also we have tried disabling The workstation ISA Firewall & also the IE proxy settings. We also tried running the app on an old XP Pro workstation without SP2. Wscript.exe has been run on the server. Please can anyone suggest if some security setting could be blocking this? Regards Nick Tag: Lost Mail Tag: 171433

    - Time service problems/questions for SBS 2000 I have configured SBS to use a list of three external time servers. The time is being kept accurately. I am getting warning and informational messages that I do not understand. Could someone please tell me what is going on or point me in the right direction to find out more. My SNTP settings and sample event log entries are shown at the message end. I had to reset the NTP server list when a previous NTP server went off the air. I believe the problem started around then. I turne don the informational events after I started getting the warnings. 1) Why do I get a warning that the NTP server did not respond almost immediately followed by informational messages saying it did? 2) Is the high skew rate a sign that my hardware clock is getting off or does it mean something else? 3) I noticed that event ID 11 does not show a server name. There are two adjacent spaces. I believe the underlying windows return message has a server name. Could this be a sign that my server list is honked up? If so, how do I fix it?

    - lots of mails in outound queue, SBS 2000 not 2003 Hi, i have a scenario where having very recently switched ISPs, within one day a large amount of emails are in the ountbound queue. i have read the article about the POP3 connector being bugged in SBS2003, but this is SBS 2000 and an upgrade in not going to happen. we were using the POP3 connector before, without problem. does the hotfix also patch the POP3 connector in SBS2000? if not, is there a way of setting exchange/smtp up so that it refrains from doing this? thanks Tag: Lost Mail Tag: 171396

I already installed a fresh WinNt4 workstation, but still problems. - I can add the workstation to the domain. - system must reboot to activate, but when i try to logon to the domain is receive the following error: Computer account doesn't exist or the accounts passowrd is incorrect. When i disable the Nt4 workstations account in active directory, i receive another error, stating to contact the administator because the account is disabled. Any help is appreciated.

    - VPN issue Hi My boss uses a vpn connection (appliance) to connect to the network. I have a script that maps the network drives. The problem is when I try to map the drives a username/password window pops up. His password (that works on the network with no problems) is not accepted for some reason. It seems that I can't log on remotely with the same account. Why is that? Is there a way around that? -- Thank you Please post only Tag: Lost Mail Tag: 171390

    - POP3 Connector doesn't work for all mailboxes I am running SBS 2000. I have the POP3 connector retrieving mail from our ISP for 6 mailboxes. Only 4 of them work. The other 2 give 2 errors each in the event log. Event ID: 12050 Source: POP3 Connector Category: Download Description: Failed to check the POP3 account for Username at Hostname on port 110. The error is 1232 Event ID: 12052 Source: POP3 Connector Category: Download Description: An error occurred during a POP3 transaction to host <Hostname><IP address>. For user <Username>. The error is 1232. These mailboxes and users were set up all at the same time and everything worked fine up until today. At first the POP3 connector didn't connect at all. I ended up removing the POP3 connector and reinstalling it. I then reran SP1a to update the reinstalled components. I set up the 6 mailboxes in the POP3 connector snap in and 4 of the 6 work. I even reran the Internet Connection Wizard for SBS 2000 to set things up from scratch and that didn't work either. HELP! Thanks for any advice Siggy Tag: Lost Mail Tag: 171384

    - XP Pro misaligned print outs. As we are rolling out XP Pro and replacing Windows 98, printing to labels and forms are getting out of alignment. Both networks are SBS 2000, but I doubt it is a network issue, probably something weird about XP Different apps and printers are doing the same thing, everything was fine in Windows 98, now with XP extra blank lines are inserted throwing off the alignment on labels and forms. Even printing to a file with the generic/text only printer gives misalligned results. The printers are both tractor fed dot matrix, one is a panasonic the other is an oki. One app is custom the other is out of a box. No problems until XP Pro was used, now we can't print labels and forms. Any ideas? Thanx, Ron Tag: Lost Mail Tag: 171357

    - Off Line File Folder Problem I have a SBS 2003 install, users with laptops running WinXP. The all have a folder on the server that is set up for Off Line file use. Most all files seem to work fine, they go away and make changes and the changes end up on the server. However, they produce Power Point Slide shows that have 50 Plus photos. If the photos are in the Offline Folder and they work disconnected from the network, the Power Point file never saves. The same file produced on the network will save. If we put the Photos on the local disk of the laptop, The same file will save when disconnected from the network. Also: If you make the powerpoint file from the local copy of the photos (while connected to the network and then disconnect), you can save the powerpoint file to the offline folder to the original name without a problem. But you cannot "Save as" this will hang up and never save. Any suggestions on correcting this behavior? I would like all of their files avaliabl in Off Line folders. Chris Tag: Lost Mail Tag: 171351

    - webDAV in sbs 2003 Hello all, We have a fresh installation of SBS 2003 premium. A w2k3 member server runs our public web sites (this is not the http://companyweb on the SBS box). We use host headers to identify the sites. On one of the web sites, I am trying to set up webDAV. I have enabled the webDAV extensions in IIS. I can browse to the site and the virtual directory without a problem. It uses Windows integrated authentication and that seems to work. When I try to add this as a web folder in "my network places",from a client machine, it asks for my username and password endlessly without ever allowing me to connect to the site. If ISA server can pass my credentials while browsing to this site, why can't I add it as a web folder? Does anybody have any thoughts? Thanks in advance. Tag: Lost Mail Tag: 171347

    - Exchange 16Gig Limit soon approaching I have a SBS 2k environment. My questions are about the exchange application, I know that there is a limitation of 16 gig of information total and that the *.edb and the *.stm files are combine to equal this amount. So what I currently have it a *.edb of 5.8 gigs and a *.stm of 7.6 for a total of approx 14 gigs. So I am not in critical mode just yet but I do have questions about reducing the file size or maybe moving them. I run the eseutil /d on a monthly basis to recapture wasted space and run daily backups. But I have noticed that the total amount of mail in mb listed in the Exchange System Mangager, ( the sum of all mailboxes ) is 3.6 gigs of mail. t This is the confusing part, since the Exchange System manager shows a cumlative total of all mailboxes of 3.6 gig, and the priv1.edb shows a total of 5.8 and the *.stm is 7.6 how can that be explained? Is there something I am missing in recapturing my space or some utility that will more accurately report information on my databases? All experience, suggestion, inquiries and solutions welcomed.

    - Can I create a symbolic link in SBS when I move a folder? I have a shared folder on a SBS 2000 server that everyone maps to. I want to move that folder to a 2003 server. Is there a way I can create a symbolic link so when people try to go to the old share path it is autmoaticcly redirected to the new path? I've already set up a log in script to automaticcly remap the drive letter to the new path. Some people have a shortcut to the old location on their desktop. This would be really cool if I could do this. Thanks Chris Tag: Lost Mail Tag: 171343

    - Exchange Info Store Corruption (Update) Hello, SBS2K. On March 3rd, I submitted a post about possible corruption in my Exchange database. Basically, I moved the database to a new SCSI drive I purchased and install. The move went well and the users had no problems with their mailboxes, but when I checked the backup log after the first backup, I noticed the following error: WARNING: Portions of "\Mailbox Store (HI-SERVER)" cannot be read. The backed up data is corrupt or incomplete. This file will not restore correctly. After some research and some outside help (thanks Dave), I discovered 474 errors. Also, ntbackup will not allow me to restore the database from the backup. When you look on support for error 474, you come up with the following articles: XADM: Event ID 474 Error Indicates a Hardware Failure http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;327334 XADM: Extensible Storage Engine Event IDs 474 and 477 Are Logged When You Try to Back Up the Information Store Database http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;810411 Both of these articles eluded to a hardware problem with the drive. I called tech support for Maxtor and was told that one possibility is that I needed a twisted (if that is the correct term) cable. That said, I am going to purchase the cable. Until I can get the cable in and installed, I have moved the Exchange back to the original drive it was on. It is still corrupted according to the backup log, and I continue to log 474 errors. After I moved the database back to the original drive, I tried the suggestions in the following article (thanks again Dave): How to recover the information store on Exchange 2000 in a single site http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;313184 The article recommends running the following command and checking the result of the line labeled "State": C:\Program Files\exchsrvr\BIN>eseutil /mh "drive:\Program Files\exchsrvr\MDBDATA\priv1.edb" When I ran the command, I saved the result to a text file.

When I was reading the article, I was looking for the "State" line to say something to the effect of 'consistent' because that's what the article refers to. When I received 'State: Clean Shutdown', I didn't know what that meant, but I know that it doesn't sound corrupt to me. That said, where do I go from here? Should I begin following the other steps in the article? I haven't because I am not sure if the results from the first command tell me to not run any of the recovery options. The users can still access their mailboxes and nothing appears to be wrong at their end, but I cannot back up the databases and that is not a good thing. Also to note, if I go to the folder that houses the priv1.ebd file, I see log files which, according to their modified date, go all the way back to the day I originally installed the new disk and moved the database starting all this mess. I am not sure if that is relevant, but I figured I would mention it. If nothing works, I may have to call PSS (another result of Dave's help) which is not a problem, but I figure there may be a way around this that someone would know if I provided the correct information and enough of it. I appreciate any help someone can give on this. Thanks again, Chris Tag: Lost Mail Tag: 171340
