    - Adding a member server to a Small Business 2003 network I will be setting up a Small Business 2003 network and was wondering if I could add additional servers into it. The client has a Windows NT 4 server with his old database and wants to run that server with his new Small business network simultaneously until he gets his new Database up and running on the Small Business server. Is that possible or can you have only one server? Tag: Microsoft support number Tag: 129141

    - 'Retrieve Now' Button missing from POP3 Connector We have just done a fresh install (on a new computer) of SBS-2000 from a Microsoft Action Pack install disk set. This is the version of SBS-2000 that is shipped with SP4 for Windows 2000 and SP3 for Exchange. All went smoothly. Everything works OK. Just the 'Retrieve Now' button is missing from the POP3 Connector! Re-installed the connector several times (including manually removing all references to it from the registry on the last occasion) to no avail. The connector works fine, we just can't manually force a download of mail if we need it in a hurry! Any ideas how a button can go missing yet the connector still work? And any ideas how we can get it back? Ian W Tag: Microsoft support number Tag: 129138

    - Upgrading from Win2k Pro to XP Hi All, I'm planning to upgrade a Win2K pro workstation to XP pro. The workstation is connected in a typical SBS2K network, and since this is the first time I've done an OS upgrade with a networked computer I was wondering if there were any special procedures I needed to follow (or can I just do the upgrade in place)? Thanks for any help or advice. -Pat Tag: Microsoft support number Tag: 129137

    - Exchange and ADSL (Again!) Hi everyone, I have a SBS2000 that I've just had to reformat and reinstall. On reinstallation, the customer wanted to upgrade from a permanent dialup connection to an ADSL connection. I have installed a 2nd NIC in the SBS box, and can successfully web browse from each workstation so I know the Internet connectivity is OK. Here is my problem: The server is unable to send or receive any e-mail. Mail just sits in the outbound queue. I have run the Internet Connection Wizard and answered all the relevent questions correctly (5 times). The internet connection has a static IP address which has been correctly configured, and the MX records for the domain point to the correct IP address. However, I am unable to ping the IP address, telnet to port 25 of the IP address or traceroute to the IP address. As far as I can see, I have opened port 25 on ISA server This one has me stumped. Any ideas? Thanks Steve Teece Complink Support Services Tag: Microsoft support number Tag: 129118

    - administrator exchange account Hi i had to do a restore from CD of mailboxes in exchange. I managed to recover the mailboxes ok except i have this one query. When i recovered the mailboxes, i only have got one mailbox for Administrator with a red X through it. I do not have another mailbox for administrator without a red x through it, so it will be deleted in about 30 days. What are the consequences if this happens and what can i do to fix it? I do not need the mail in the administrator mailbox with the red x through it. If need be, how do i create another administrator mailbox if i purge the one with the red x through it? Do you think that this is OK to do? I do not think it is a good idea to delete the administrator account and create another as i think it is an inbuilt account. thanks Tag: Microsoft support number Tag: 129110

    - Please help!!, Exchange on SBS When attempting the Exchange 2000 Service Pack 3 Update component of SBSSP1a, I get the following refusal to proceed : "You can use this edition of Microsoft Exchange 2000 Service Pack Update to update existing version of Exchange 2000 only." The SBS-flavour of Exchange 2000 is certainly installed and handling mail happily (Version 6, Build 4629.1, Service Pack 1) on Windows 2000 Server (now at SP4 from the SBSSP1a). Third-party apps being disabled makes no difference, and this is a clean install running several months without issue or Event until now. File-capture methods don't spot any miscreants, so I'm leaning towards corrupt or erroneous Registry referrals...but I just can't seem to track any down? I'm an MCSA (2k), working towards (.NET) MCSE and enjoy hunting down info & solutions at the "usual sources" (GoogleGroups, EventID, Technet, MS Community Newsgroups etc) and I've really looked everywhere for the answer to this, or else similar scenarios that I can adapt from, but really, this one has me stumped....is there someone who can PLEASE help? _____ David .

    - Advanced SBS Course - Input and Comments With 2395A right around the corner I was wondering what people interest would be in a similarly written Advanced course for SBS and what you would like to see in such a course. I know this is kind of hard to say since no one has seen 2395A yet? The reason I'm conducting this informal poll is because the powers to be at Microsoft said that they would look into and do an Advanced course if the market and want is there. So I encourage all of you to help make SBS even better for all of us. And Please pardon the multi-cross posted message but I sent this out to my SBS group in my mail reader.

    - SBS 4.X to SBS2K - Exchange question I plan on replacing an existing server with a new one and upgrade the existing SBS 4 with Exchange 5.5 to SBS2K. My plan is to export all the mailboxes using ExMerge. Then when I get SBS2K all setup, then ExMerge all the mailboxes back into Exchange 2000. This seems to be the recommended practice and I agree with this strategy. My question is; When the users start replying to other users within the same W2K domain, will it be delivered? I ask because usually the x.400 and other email settings are different between E5.5 and E2K. Or do they have to reply but choose the user out of the GAL? I do plan on using the same server name as the old one. Rick in the Midwest Tag: Microsoft support number Tag: 129040

    - permissions Hi I am struggling with permissions problem. I have created a user called tom. tom is a member of a group called employee. I want tom to have no access to c drive and access to only one file on d drive which is in a directory on d drive. Tom's "member of" properties only lists him as a member of domain users/users and the employee group. I cannot remove the domain users group from his "member of" properties. What if i give the employee group access to c drive with only list permissions and access to d drive with list permissions to the folder and write/modify/read access to the file? There is just one problem. The default permissions for c drive and d drive is everyone full control. How does this effect the permissions i set for the employee group on the same folder. Does the everyone group permissions override everything and if so, what if I set deny everything on C drive and deny everything on d drive except that file? How can i get around this issue? What is the easiest way around this? Tag: Microsoft support number Tag: 129027

    - HELP!! Users get errors opening Word Docs & Saving Hello All, I have a problem. I recently moved a small organization from SBS 4.5 to SBS 2K. I did a clean install on a new machine. I wasn't worried about migrating users or their exchange data or pushing shared folders & their permissions. So I simply backed everything up that they would need to tape backup and removeable HDD's. Now that the new server is up and running everyone is online and working and using ISA and exchange, however all of my users (6) complain every day that when they open a word document from a shared folder and they try to save it after making modifications they get a slew of different errors. Sometimes they are told to save to a different file name, other times they get an out of memory error cannot safe the file to this volume. and other times it just won't allow them to save because of permissions problems. I have reset permissions on the share, it is on a partition on the second physical drive and I have turned off the trend micro office scan real time scanner thinking it was slowing access times to the server. I also upgraded the server to 1.2 gigs of ecc sdram thinking 2K & exchange were hogging up the ram which it seems every time I look the ram is maxed out but I am stumped.

    - VPN through Linksys router into SBS I'd like to make a VPN connection from my home computer to the server at work. VPN will go through a Linksys router sitting between the internet and my home computer. I noticed in the instructions it states that VPN's that use IPSec and AH (Authentication Header known as protocol 51) are incompatible with the router. AH has limitations due to occasional incompatibility with the NAT standard. Can anyone shed any light on this - I've used VPN in the past through a different router and never had any problems but I can't recall ever hearing anything about AH. Just thought I'd ask - guess I'll find out once I get home and try it. Tag: Microsoft support number Tag: 128997

    - OT: telnet Hi, I recently had to do some network troubleshooting and learned a little about telnet (sorry if my questions are dumb, I'm having a little trouble figuring out some basics) I was given this link to help test if port 25 was open. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en- us;153119 I was able to send an email via telnet but have a couple fo questions. After telnetting to port 25, I noticed the telnet commands (close, set, etc) no longer worked. Why? Is this because once I entered the port I was no longer telnetting but was using the smtp protocol? I also noticed I could not see what I was typing (I was using the command shell). Is there away to toggle some function so I can see the text? If I telnetted to port 80, nothing would happen until I hit enter twice, this would cause the delivery of a 404 html page (displayed in the command shell). Once again, after telnetting to port 80, none of the telnet commands worked. So obviously I was connecting to the web server but it's not clear what was going on. If I went to a known closed port, I would get a could not connect message. (which is good) I'm just confused on what you can do via telnet besides access open ports. I have a copy of basic commands etc but I'm missign a few fundamentals. Any explination on what was happening would be very benificial. Thanks Tag: Microsoft support number Tag: 128992

    - Help! Strange problems in AD, Exchange Okay this is going to be a bit winded, just to get as much information as I can in this first post. Without going into the details, I recently went thru a migration process to get SBS2K installed on another PC using the NT4 BDC -> PDC and Win2K server upgrade, and transferring the 5 FSMO roles. I'm going to have to do this process again because I have to get SBS2K back on the original PC after upgrading the hardware. I left the "temp" DC running (call it "DCTemp") without demoting it after transferring the roles. Here's some of the steps that may be relevant to my problem (to the best of my recollection and notes from the install): - After transferring the roles onto the SBS PC, I ran SBS setup without Exchange (no ISA either), and then installed Exchange 5.5 with SP3 (it failed the first time thru, then I did a manual removal of Exchange 5.5, and then did Q309484 before setup of 5.5 again). I had a heck of a time trying to get ISINTEG -patch to work, even going thru ESEUTIL on them several times (on a 12 GB priv.edb no less), before it finally restored and Exchange 5.5 SP3 was up and running (the only other problem was the LDAP ports conflicting, but that was easily resolved). I also had to do a directory export from the Exchange 5.5, and reimport back into Exchange Administrator on the SBS2K but I finally could log in from a workstation and send mail (internally), use public folders working, etc. - Next was the inplace upgrade to Exchange 2000, I got an error during the installation process and it aborted near the end, saying it couldn't install the Exchange MMC snap-in. I noticed that the databases "seemed" to have been upgraded to Exchange 2000 (with the appropriate STM files for priv and pub). I then tried to reinstall Exchange 2000 again, but this time it told me that setup couldn't continue without removing the IMC from Exchange. I couldn't get in Exchange Administrator, and the System Manager was missing so there was no way to do this that I knew of. - So, I went back to an image I made after transferring the FSMO roles, just before the SBS setup. I got an error in the event logs about AD not having the same information, but it seemed to take the "newer" information from DCTemp fine. - At this point (from the image), I ran the SBS setup (at first without Exchange 2000 and ISA), then ran the Exchange 2000 setup with the /disasterrecovery switch. I had already renamed the directory where it used to be, and after setup, I moved the priv.edb, priv.stm, pub.edb and pub.stm files along with the logs (essentially the whole mdbdata dir) back, and mounted the stores. Okay, life is good at this point (or seems to be), as Exchange 2000 is officially up and I could log in from a workstation and use the services. - Next came the SPs, and I applied Win2K SP4 first, then Exchange SP3. Ouch! I got TONS of problems after reboot (MSExchange Event IDs 5000, 1121 with error code 0x80004005, MSExchangeMTA Event ID 125, MSExchangeSA Event IDs 9098 and 9175, etc etc.). I tried a few things from some KBs but nothing seemed to work. The IS simply refused to start, and thus I couldn't mount the stores. - I then proceeded to reinstall Exchange 2000 from the SBS setup, and got the error "Setup detected another version, service pack needs to be reapplied" or something like that. I then clicked Yes to all the files that needed to overwrite the newer ones installed by SP3 (what a pain this was, I wish there was a "Yes to All" option instead of the Yes, No, No to All that is available). Setup completed BUT it said there were some problems with Active Directory (no details). I rebooted and (phew) Exchange was working again. - I went ahead and installed the TM C/S/M suite but noticed that ScanMail wasn't working (couldn't load the databases when I went into the management console). I'm going to attribute this to Exchange not being up to SP3, but it may be related. Okay, now that I've laid the groundwork, here are the problems I'm noticing: - DCTemp and SBS AD seems to be out of sync. I noticed this when a user came to me and said his account was locked out - AD Users & Computers on SBS looked fine, but on DCTemp the account was locked out. Both PCs have been running long enough for things to propagate and there are a few other inconsistencies that make me believe the replication is fubared. - I used to have an "Everyone" group in Exchange 5.5, but that didn't seem to carry over. When I try to recreate this, I get a "user already exists", but I can't find it anywhere in AD (even with the find feature). - I also can't create any NEW users on AD on the SBS with either the Add Users Wizard or from AD. I have to go create the new user in DCTemp (it seem to replicate okay to SBS, but I can't create mailboxes in AD from DCTemp). - Using the Migrate Users Wizard, I tried to give the user a mailbox - it seems to work but in System Manager, the mailbox simply isn't there. AD lists the user as having an email address, but I'm not sure where the mail goes. So.. What steps should I take at this point? Are there general troubleshooting utilities that I can run to check AD and Exchange? I'm not sure if NTDSUTIL is useful at this point because things "seem" to work and the database doesnt seem corrupted. Or should I try a reinstall from SBS setup again? I'm going to do another setup on the old SBS 4.5 PC, after doing some hardware upgrade. If I just leave the current SBS running as is, and do another FSMO roles tranfer, and do the SBS setup on the final hardware, with an Exchange 2000 database forklift, should life be fine? Or should I really look into fixing the above problems first? Just a bit Frustrated.. (especially after the weekend copying over the Exchange databases, and defraging, checking integrity, defraging, recopying, defraging, etc. which took 15+ hours). Any insights would be appreciated.

    - Add User Wizard not adding e-mail address SBS 2000, using To Do List to add a user (have done this many times before). User account is created but e-mail address is not -- at least not in the Admin Console or Exchange admin "Users" panes (yes, I've refreshed multiple times). This is upwards of 3 hours after creating the account (normally there is some lag but on the order of minutes). When I go to the Exchange admin console and look at my available Exchange tasks for this user, I have a "delete" and a "move" option but not an "add" option for an e-mail address, so I take it enough configuration has taken place that an e-mail address, etc. are being detected on some level (but aren't completing). No oddball characters in the username, or anything like that. Should be straightforward, like a dozen times before, but it's not working. I've deleted the account and tried to reinstantiate it twice already, and it doesn't make a difference. The e- mail information just never appears. Any ideas?

    - 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?

    - 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: Microsoft support number 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: Microsoft support number Tag: 128916

    - 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: Microsoft support number 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: Microsoft support number 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: Microsoft support number 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? What do i need to setup to make mail go into the individual accounts on the local internal domain? thanks again In exchange, >-----Original Message----- >Jess, your question was already answered by me in a earlier thread.

    - 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: Microsoft support number 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.

    - SBS1a Exchange component will not install. Long story cut short : Trying to install NAI's Groupshield, which demands Exchange 2000 SP1 (or above). 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. Hope someone knows what to do...I'm stuck !! :( Thanks ----- David Tag: Microsoft support number Tag: 128864

    - Router and VPN Connect to a server through a VPN connection and eveythings fine, when I place a Linksys router between the cable modem and computer VPN connects but now nothing works (can't see computers in Network Neighborhood, can't see shared folders, etc).
