    - Moving the SBS 2000 to the new machine Hello everybody, I already have a SBS 2000 with Terminal Services running for 3 years without bigger problems. Now I have to change the hardware platform. This platform is compatible with Windows 2000. I want to ask if anybody have done the reinstalation/moving the SBS 2000 on a new machine. If so please provide me the info how to do this? Regards, Grzegorz Tag: Moving the SBS 2000 to the new machine Tag: 168866

    - Power Users We use auditing SW in our organisation which runs every 30 days. Problem is the SW would appear to attempt to write to the registry on the local PC which tells the PC not to check for another 30 days when the audit is complete. If when the audit runs i am logged in as a DOMAIN USER then then the process runs in task manager (I can see the process when i hit CNTRL - ALT - DEL). The process starts at 5MB but continues on to consume 256MB of memory and then i start to get virtual memory errors and the PC also runs extremely slowly. Thie processs will run all day without completing. If i kill the process from task manager then the PC functions as it should. However as the audit is not completing then the process starts all over again next time a DOMAIN USER logs into the PC. However, If i log on as an adminitrator then the audit process runs in task manager and consumes 5MB of memory for about 2 minutes then kills itslef off and won't run again for another 30 days. 1 - I don't want to have to do this every 30 days as there are 40 PC's in the org running this. 2 - I also don't want Domain users to have local admin rights as the PC's are locked down in order that users can't gain access to the registry , Run commmand, Control Panel etc.. Question 1 - Is there anyway that i can give all domain users rights to this application only to write to the registry of the local PC, without having access to anything else in the registry. Question 2 - I would rather not have to give DOMAIN USERS Power User rights as this would lead them to installaing stuff i don't want them to have access to. Any help/Advice greatly appreciated Tag: Moving the SBS 2000 to the new machine Tag: 168856

    - Slow sending of e-mail Hi all, been noticing a strange phenomenon with our e-mail over the last couple of months. We run Exchange 2003 SP1 as part of SBS Premium. Using ISA2000 as our firewall to the Internet. When we send e-mail it is taking an abnormally long time to be delivered (sometimes hours) externally and internally. I have checked our server (logs, settings, etc...) and nothing appears out of sorts. I have checked with our ISP and DNS host (SBC) and they say nothing is wrong with our domain name records. Any clues or ideas? It is really frustrating especially if someone is waiting on an e-mail and we have to resend it via another account other than our office account. TIA.

    - SBS 2000 Proxy Problems? I have a SBS 2000 system with 25+ users on it. When the network was first constructed, the opinion was that they would need to restrict the internet connection to prevent unauthorised surfing. I personally had no part in the construction of the network and am not too familiar with win 2k SBS. The users all have IE setup to run through a proxy server, which is running on the SBS. This setup has been working correctly for some time now (a year or two). Just recently, however, the proxy started to malfunction. No one can get e-mail (POP3), the internet is extremely slow (when it works at alll), and it only does this when logged into the domain. If you log into any of the computers locally and setup to run through the router, no problems. I have gone through as many of the wizards as possible on the SBS and can't find anything related to a Proxy server or a filter. In add/remove windows components-Networking, the proxy (COM or DCOM was it?) isn't even installed. I'm still new to any IIS functions, but the only thing i see in the IIS setup is a default website (never been modified apparantly). I can post more info if someone can tell me where I should be looking for errors pertaining to the problem or know what could cause this or can show me a MS document on this I would be extremely greatfull.

    - shared .xls is locked for editing... We have a "shared" Excel 2000 spreadsheet that various users can access. Whenever one particular user has it open, and another user attempts to open it, it always says that a completely different user (other than who actually has it open) has it open for editing. Today for instance, this particular user I am referring to above had it open ("jnewitt"). Another user ("slockwood") attempted to open the spreadsheet as well using her Win2K terminal services session, and was told that the file was locked for editing by user "slockwood" - the same user who was attempting to open it in the first place. Clearly incorrect reporting by Excel! I made sure she did not have a lock on it at all by checking system resources on teh Win2K server etc... and she did not. I finally discovered who actually did have the file open and it was the "problem" user referred to above. Why would Excel always be reporting the wrong username for this user? Where is Excel actually obtaining the username that has the file open from?? We have had problems with this user before - but only this user!!!. It will never give his username if he has it open - it is always a different username. Usually it shows as "draft4" - a user that does not even exist on our systems any longer!!! This user runs an XP Professional machine (upgraded from WIn98) and logs onto it locally using his username "jnewitt". Like I said earlier, anytime he has a spreadsheet open and another user attempts to open the same one, they always get a message that "user draft4 has it open for editing" - of course draft4 does not even exist as a user - and is not a local user on his machine either. In fact I searched his entire registry for any reference to "draft4" and found none. Somewhere it is buried on the machine and Excel is using it, thinking that draft4 is the logged on user!!! Does anyone have any ideas on this issue or where Excel might be getting this from?? Thanks, Brad Tag: Moving the SBS 2000 to the new machine Tag: 168842

When I try to logon to the TS server as anyone other then administrator. I get a prompt that says "The Local Policy of this system does not allow you to logon interactively" .

    - Can't set the "trust for delegation" flag On my SBS2003 install, I'm logged on as the Administrator, on the server itself. I have recently added a new member server (Windows 2003) to act as a second file server and also be an additional controller in the AD. The server is based in a small office some 20 miles away. Every time I open up the properties sheet for the new server, and tick the "Trust computer for delegation", I get the following error message "Your security settings do not allow you to speicfy whether or not this account is to be trusted for delegation". In addition, Event 577 is logged inthe security log (entry listed below) I've googles on this quite a bit, and as far as I can tell... a) I am a member of the domain admin group and the schema admin group b) I've created a GPO for the default domain policy, and under "computer configuration", "Windows settings", "Security settings", "Local Policies" and then "User Rights Assignement", I have explicity added in "Administrators" to the "Enable computer and user accounts to be trusted" and also the server's machine name (PS-SVR$). Server has been rebooted recently. I don't know why it didn't work first time, my other SBS2003 network has a member server acting as a second AD controller, and it works just fine. Can anyone suggest anything that I can do? Otherwise it looks like a reinstall of the SBS server.

    - Pop3 email checking Hi I just installed Trend client server messaging on a SBS2000 server. Finally got everything working fine. Thing is previously I set up the workstations to check for Email at their pop3 emailboxes directly rather than going through the server. But now since Trend has this spam thing built in I want to use the pop3 connector on exchange (exchange servicepack 3 ) to check the pop3 mailboxes and then route them to the user. However when looking at the settings is there no way to configure the connector to check for mail at an interval less than 15 minutes???? I would rather not have to chose between getting mail right away and getting clean email. Also I put in the info in the pop3 connector however it wasn't able to dowbnload the mail getting an error. This I can probably fix myself will post follow up later but any other help will be appreciated. Thanks Tag: Moving the SBS 2000 to the new machine Tag: 168827

    - Revisiting Spam relaying Hi, This thread was started about a week ago, and I needed more information. I don't think anyone is viewing the original one anymore, so hopefully reposting it is not too far outside of the correct protocol. My last post was: Thanks for the info. I am not sure if this article works for my configuration. The MX record for my domain points to my Exchange server. I do not have pop accounts at the ISP. I also do not use my ISP's smtp server for outgoing messages.

    - Remote Desktop Connection - exclusive login. This question doesn't relate entirely to sbs2000, but it does relate to domain management on a sbs2k domain. I am setting up a WinXP Pro station with RDC at the office for users to login to to do some work. However, I noticed that if someone tries to login while another session is in progress, the first session is dropped without warning. Is there a way to restrict rdc so that if someone is already logged in, no other connections are allowed? Thanks, Joe Letter. Tag: Moving the SBS 2000 to the new machine Tag: 168808

    - Pop3 Collector trying to send to external addresses Using SBS2000 with POP3 collection. Each userâ??s external email user@ourdomain.com has a POP3 box at our ISP. Each user has a mail store on exchange to which their mail is delivered. All of a sudden incoming emails from external sources are behaving strangly. If from hotmail I send a message to user@ourdomain.com and someone@anotherdomain.com our server picks it up from the pop3 box, delivers it to user@ourdomain, and also tries to then resend it externally to the other recipient. Tracking the message in Exchange shows: "SMTP: Message Delivered Locally to multiple recipients" "SMTP Store Driver: Message Delivered Locally to Store user@ourdomain" "SMTP: Started Outbound Transfer of Message" "SMTP: Non-Delivered Report (NDR) Generated" In the details of the 1st line above it states the address of our user and the external recipient, which it should just be ignoring! Then on the third line its saying it wants to send it outbound â?? so realises its not a local recipient. And then of course fails as the sender was external. It says the sender is getting is getting an NDR but I havnâ??t actually seen one myself from testing â?? it is sending me as admin a copy though. Now nothing has changed on the server as far as I know. And the pop3 boxes look ok. I know strange things happen if it collects a mail from pop3 and there isn't a single recipient in the to/cc that matches a local user but this isn't the scenario here. The only other thing that might be interfering is Trend Scanmail but Iâ??ve not changed the config of that for ages either. Will be doing the good old reboot very shortly to see if that sorts it but I canâ??t see why it would. Any one got any ideas? Tag: Moving the SBS 2000 to the new machine Tag: 168803

    - exchange not recieving inbound smtp Thanks Marina, sounds like I had the NIC's setup wrong. When you say the DNS on the External nic should point to our server IP, do you mean it should be pointing to 192.168.1.90? If so, how do I do this? I can set it manually but when I rerun ICW it wont allow me to put an address that is in the LAT. Surely the DNS should be pointing to the DNS's provided by my ISP (213.120.62.101, 213.120.62.102)?

    - SBS 2003 / ISA / Web Access We're installing SBS 2000 together with ISA server. No client machines, yet, we're still battling with getting the server right. The only user is the administrator. Having installed the server (but before installing ISA) we have internet connectivity. We then install ISA (from the premium edition disk) as a result of which, and after running ICW, and logging off and on, we can't see any web pages. The ADSL modem connects successfully to the ISP, but the only thing we get in IE is a 502 error. Now, we're guessing we need to do something to allow web things through ISA but we can't see what. Can anyone point us in the right direction. We didn't have this problem with SBS 2000 (with ISA) which seemed to work without problem, and which is why we can post this message.

    - Exchange Not Recieving Inbound SMTP Hi, Im having a rather annoying problem getting exchange server (sbs2000) to recieve inbound smtp. Here's a brief summary: New Server with a new SBS2000 installation, we're using ISA Server (which is working as a proxy and firewall) and exchange server using the smtp virtual server. Internal email works fine, and sending external email works fine too I can't seem to get inbound email to work. Server has 2 nic's, 1 connected directly to ADSL router and server has a static external ip. The other nic is connected to the switch. I had my ISP change the mx records to point to the external ip of the server, this worked fine as I was able to navigate to OWA using mail.domain.com/exchange. I tried several things but still cannot recieve email from the internet. Port scan shows port 25 as open however I cannot telnet the port either externally or internally. Things I've Tried (not in order): Done port scan via grc.com and port 25 is stated as open Enable Packet filters/Disabled them Secure Mail Server Wizard Tried disabling ISA Firewall service Uninstalled McAfee Groupshield Reinstalled ISA Server Reinstalled Exchange Server Restart ISA Services after changes Restart Exchange Services after changes is there anything I am missing? Have I overlooked something? Does anyone have any suggestions as what I could try? Any help would be much appreciated as I seeming to be making no progress whatsoever.

They suggest which newsgroup to use,what basic research to do before posting, information to include in your posting, newsgroup etiquette, and alternate sources of useful information. Following them will help us to help you. =================================================== - Post to the appropriate newsgroup: For SBS 4/4.5: microsoft.public.backoffice.smallbiz For SBS 2000 : microsoft.public.backoffice.smallbiz2000 For SBS 2003 : microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs Microsoft News Server: news.microsoft.com The SBS Newsgroups provide a free forum for threaded discussion and peer support on issues related to Small Business Server by users, service providers and interested parties. Please remember when posting that non Microsoft people don't get paid to be here, and MVPs are -not- Microsoft employees. { Who are the Microsoft MVPs ? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;mvpfaqs } Everyone here is giving generously and freely of their time, experience and expertise to enhance the Small Business Server Community. Join it, support it, respect it and enjoy it. - SBS Rocks ! =================================================== A Web interface to the SBS 2003 newsgroup is at: http://support.microsoft.com/newsgroups/?pr=newsgsbs2003 You'll find the Rules of conduct on the MS Website at: Welcome to Microsoft Discussion Groups http://communities2.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx =================================================== - Do some basic researches for previously posted solutions. ( It's most likely been posted and solved before. ) Advanced Google Search: http://www.google.com/advanced_search Domain: microsoft.com experts-exchange.com Advanced Google Groups Search of the Usenet archives: http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search Advanced Microsoft Search: http://search.microsoft.com/search/search.aspx?st=a&View=en-us (Note that you can also just enter a KB, Q or Error Number) Event Log Entries associated with your issue or setup: http://www.eventid.net (Enter the Event number from the Event Log) http://search.microsoft.com (Enter '1001' (for example) or 'error 1001') Your Public Interface: http://www.dnsreport.com http://www.dnsstuff.com Your network Settings on Servers and workstations: Start > Run > cmd : ipconfig /all Ports Status Start > Run > cmd : netstat -an =================================================== - Post with a meaningful subject line so those with expertise or interest in the topic can find it quickly. - Posting with a purely attention seeking topic such as "DISASTER" or "No-One Ever Responds to Me" may get you noticed -once- but is likely to get you ignored or dropped in future. 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.

    - Access to "external" computer Hi All I need to set up an SBS 2000 to allow access to a computer on the external side of the server. The server has the standard 2 NICs, one internal and one external. Clients connected to internal and external used for broadband internet (and now this computer). We need to have a cache that stores specific things that it updates from the internet. It's complicated but suffice to say that I don't have any control over this aspect. The external NIC on SBS has 10.81.10.1 as it address. The external PC has 10.81.10.250 I have already setup: 1. Site & Content Rules an "Allow ALL" access policy (this is what I use when testing only) all destinations, always, allow, applies to any request, all HTTP content 2. Protocol Rules an "Allow ALL" access policy (this is what I use when testing only) All IP traffic, always, applies to any request 3. IP Packet Filters There are lots of filters. I have setup one as: enables, predefined HTTP Server (port 80) Local computer and remore computer I have tried different settings The external network does not appear in the LAT nor the LDT. I can Ping the 10.81.10.250 from an internal client and the server so I know it exists and that the server is forwarding the ping requests. I tried 10.81.10.249 and it didn't work (as I expected). Should I have an entry in the Network Configuration - Routing list. If so what are the settings? Please help as I am really stuck. After 5 frustrating hours I still can't get it to work.

We backup a member server on our SBS domain (the SBS has it's own tape drive and runs ArcServe2000 for SBS) and also two other clients. These clients are running dBase for DOS which is a 16-bit application. I have installed BAOF (SP5) and Client agent so that the member server which has a LTO2 tape drive accesses the machines using IP (just normal of ArcServe). The clients (2 PCs called A and B) are backed up in turn. PC A contains the program and the data is held on PC B. When PC A runs the program to access datafiles on PC B, then when the backups hit PC A (to backup the whole machine) we suddenly get Event ID:50 in the logs of PC A (Delayed Write Failed) and the program on PC A stops responding. I have raised this with CA Tech Support and we have not come up with a solution. Any ideas? skc Tag: Moving the SBS 2000 to the new machine Tag: 168744

    - SBS 2000 Exchange 2000 / Outlook issue I have just installed SBS 2000 on a server with only Server and Exchange options. The installs seems to have gone ok and no errors appeared in the event log. I have installed Virusscan and Groupshield and configured the exclusions. Outlook is installed on the server and when i try to connect the Outlook 2000 SP3 client to the Administrator account it opens, you can see messages in the inbox but the lower pain is grayed out and the program freezes and stops responding I then have to stop the Outlook.exe service. I haven't tryed to connect any clients to the server as this is supposed to replace the existing server and I can't have the two servers on the network at the same time. I have checked the event logs and can't see any Exchange related errors, I have also checked the services and all seem to be running ok. This has really stumped me:-( I am supposed to be swapping the servers over at the weekend but can't when it is in this state. OS Platform: SBS 2000 W2K SP4 EXCH 2000 SP3 Outlook SP3 Virusscan Enterprise Groupshield for Exchange 2000 DNS seems to functioning correctly Exchange services start and stay up Thanks in advance for any help Tag: Moving the SBS 2000 to the new machine Tag: 168736

    - Domain Not Found error on workstations We've just upgraded from a satellite internet connection to a DSL connection. Due to the limitations of satellite I've never explored the possibilities that SBS offers. Now that I have DSL, I want to set SBS up to work for us. Somewhere in my conversion I've lost the ability of my workstations to connect to the domain. When attempting to logon the "The system cannot log you on now because the domain GRANT is not available." When the server was connected to the satellite, workstations were able to log onto the domain. Somewhere in my settings changes, I've lost that ability. Workstations are all XP Pro SP2. I am able to log into Exchange email from outside the network using webmail and from the workstations, using a locally stored profile and Outlook. I can also log into the network stores but have to enter username and password each time. I am also able to surf the web from the workstations. I can also use remote desktop from outside the network over the web. When I try to use the XP Network ID wizard I get this error: DNS was successfully queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain GRANT.MCKINLEYFUNERAL.COM: The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.GRANT.MCKINLEYFUNERAL.COM The following domain controllers were identified by the query: grant1.grant.mckinleyfuneral.com Common causes of this error include: - Host (A) records that map the name of the domain controller to its IP addresses are missing or contain incorrect addresses. - Domain controllers registered in DNS are not connected to the network or are not running.

    - Deny User permissions upon moving files within shared folder Hello all, Could you please advise me on how to restrict the access rights of one Domain User from moving files within a Shared Folder. The user should have sufficient rights to write in the files, but not to save them afterwards to a different! directory. The permissions granted for all Domain Users on this Shared Folder are Modify - Read & Execute - List Folder Contacts - Read - Write. Do I make any amendments to the security permissions of the user's account and if yes then which ones? Thank you in advance for your response.

    - 50+ users and the future after SBS2000 After running SBS2000 from around 10 users (around 3 years ago) to it's maximum today (at 50!) we are now in the position to get of SBS and go for something that caters for more than 50 users. We are planing to purchase two boxes - 1. to have on it Server 2003 Std with around 60 CALS that will be our PDC running AD running ISA 2004 Server (with 60 CALs too) - do we need 60 CALS on Win03 Server if we plan to have around 60 people (clients) on the network? 2. to have Exchange 2003 with 60 CALs(?) - is this correct? We want to use the SBS applications - i.e Exchange and ISA as we also run GFI's MSEC and DSEC and MESS to pick up our mail from POP3. Has anyone done any work on stepping forward from SBS2000 in a 50+ user environment and advise on CALs and the setup above. The reason why we choose 2 boxes is that we want to separate the PDC/Internet (Server03 running ISA2004) machine from the Mailserver (running Exchange) in case of future problems. Are ISA2004 and Exchange2003 the latest proxy and mail software from Microsoft or are there any changes that will appear soon? I need advise please. skc Tag: Moving the SBS 2000 to the new machine Tag: 168720
