    - Great Computing Surface for Road Warriors I'm sharing with you my secret of the ultimate comfort using a laptop. Working with a laptop desk helps cool my laptop and it's a lot more easier to handle. The painful experience of aching wrists, strained neck and back is a story of the past with ergonomic typing and viewing angles. I feel more at ease with the wide mousing area and raised screen. It only pops-up one question in my mind "Why didn't I buy it earlier? Tag: Must Read Tag: 179539

    - MI5 Persecution: Goldfish and Piranha 29/9/95 (5481) I just thought I'd let you know what I've been reading into the "Crusader" spam. I don't want to post this to usenet because somebody might try to tie that in to my posts in some way (someone already has, in uk.misc). First of all, I'd like to ask you to believe that my phone line in my apartment is bugged, and has been for many months. I have moved a couple of times this year, but "they" have faithfully been on my trail. Anyway, let's suppose my phone line is bugged. Now, when I talk to my internet service provider, it's over a SLIP (now PPP) connection. So if you wanted to bug what was said, either you'd listen in over the line and have to decode the transmission, or you could go to the service provider (more difficult) and ask them to decode a particular user's connection. OK, so now they're listening to everything I do over my SLIP/PPP connection. A couple of months ago I was messing around with faking articles through nntp servers and through anonymous remailers. I chose a nice inconspicuous newsgroup for my little tests, something no-one would ever notice. Guess which newsgroup I chose??? Yes, _FISH_!!! or rec.aquaria to be precise And guess what articles I tried to post? Goldfish, Koi carp and, you'll never guess... PIRANHA!!! The goldfish article and the Koi went through, but the piranha didn';t appear. by now you probably think this is too silly for words. But if you look in the papers a few eeks ago you will find John Major, Tonny Blair and Paddy Ashdown sharing a "private joke" about Major's sunburnt goldfish. We haven't had anything about Koi yet (they must be too dull ). Now, sent by someone who clearly knew what they were doing (they chose an Italian backbone site for their launch point) we have many thousands of messages to people all over the globe. All about piranha, and with the punchline "that gives you something to think about, doesn't it?" The way it works is that they're trying to kill two birds with one stone again. I don't knoiw why they should be against these national alliance people, but my interpretation is that they simultaneously try to discredit them, and stem the flow of Corley articles. ================================================================= In article <DFnE55.8tF.0.bloor@torfree.net>, Mike Corley <bu765@torfree.net> wrote: > >John J Smith (J.J.Smith@ftel.co.uk) wrote: > >: b) we do know who you are.

Of >course some people in my personal life, and at work, do know who "mike >corley" is. But at least we're observing a studied silence for now. :People can always be called "MR X", to save them being named. : :I'm completely perplexed as to what you mean by b). Revealing identity? :To who? And why would this be bad for any part of your life when you :already have a less than respectful reputation here? I'll just enumerate one or two things that I can still remember. Sometime around August/Sept 1992 I was living in a house in Oxford, and coming out of the house was physically attacked by someone - not punched, just grabbed by the coat, with some verbals thrown in for good measure. That was something the people at work shouldn't have known about... but soon after a couple of people were talking right in front of me about, "yeah, I heard he was attacked". Again, one I went for a walk in some woods outside Oxford. The next day, at work, someone said "you know he went to the forest yesterday". I don't want to put details on usenet of what happened because to do so would be to risk it happening again. If you put ideas in peoples' heads then you can find them reflecting back at you, and I don't want that. Also I can't remember that much from three years ago. From november 1992 I started taking "major tranquilizers" and just blotted the whole thing from my mind. >This is a feature time and time again, that the security services >(presumed) get at you by manipulating other people around you to get at >you. If you have their contacts, manpower, resources and technology then >you can do that sort of thing. :But why? Are you a threat? They pretend they "have" to get at me. After the first few weeks they had to find a reason to spy and abuse. You can't abuse someone unless they're in the wrong in some way. What I did "wrong" was to be ill. So it became "nutter" and "monster" and "he's going to attack us" coupled with "ha ha ha, he can't do anything to defend himself, it was so funny". That obvious contradiction within their propaganda is something they blithely ignore. :So, the Security Services never *actually* appear, and you assume that :they get someone else to do your dirty work. This is a bit of a big :logical step, here: That person doesn't like me, or is causing me trouble, :it's not because they've got problems themselves, it must be the "Security :Services". Yes. Because people are infallible. Or is there more? A single source is indicated because of the range of harassment. BBC + Capital + manipulated_public_at_large + set_up_situations, what does that add up to? Add in the technology to carry out the covert spying and the manpower and knowhow to follow you around for five years without being spotted. It smells very much of the security services, because there is no other organization (to my knowledge) which does the things I've seen these people do. Remember, they have deliberately chosen the softest of soft targets to victimize. They purposely chose a mentally ill person who they thought would be likely to kill himself anyway, so that they could get away with murder. And in all likelihood it will have started as a personal vendetta by someone. Who could that be? I don't know, but I can give you some clues. The first possibility (deep breath) is that someone from my college set me up. Six years ago I graduated from university in the UK, during the last year there I was steadily getting more and more ill. I know that I was talking in my sleep; although I don't know what I was saying, it got me a reputation, and if someone from my college talked afterwards to the "wrong" people then that could be the reason for all that has followed. I think that's the strongest contender for source. Directly beneath my room lived another bloke who frequently had his friends round late at night, after the time that I went to sleep. So they could have heard what I was saying in my sleep, and that could have got me the reputation for "talking to myself". What I don't know is why that should have rebounded a year after I left. You'd think it would have happened sooner; it's a bit odd to wait for a year and then start abuse. That leads me to question what in particular happened around May/June 1990 for them to start then. >What I don't know is how it looks from the other side, from the side of >the people who are being manipulated to get at me. On a couple of >occasions I have challenged people to tell the truth of the matter, but >they have alwats ducked the challenge. :Have you ever considered the possibility, that you have made a mistake, and :the people don't know what you are talking about? Yes. I am currently considering the possibility that some people around me know only what is being posted on Usenet, and have not been "contacted" by "them". But I _know_ that others have been contacted. :What words? Are they in common use? Could they be a catchphrase of a :popular comedian?: "Nice to see you, to see you nice"? In England the all-time No. 1 is "nutter". Easter this year, returning home from Clapham police station to report five years of harassment ("we're not saying it's happening and we're not saying it isn't happening"), another "not happening" incident of harassment when a cowardly little slut did her country proud by yelling "nutter, nutter, nutter" in the face of the hated enemy. What can you do about that? You can't yell abuse back in their face, because they know they're supported by their peers, by the media, by the murderers in the security forces. You can't put them down when the fascist establishment is on their side. You can't hit them, because they would deny their abuse, they would deny knowing anything, and bring charges against the "nutter" who attacked them "at random". >You know, you're >passing saomeone, they're hardly going to construct an argument for your >benefit, so they work a word of abuse into the conversation which they >can giggle at. :Abuse such as what? We're all adults here, we can take it. Is this abuse :aimed at you? How can you tell it is? I think I've said already what the words are. Thing is, at any given time the language is consistent. In January everyone's calling you X, then a few weeks later people stop calling you X and start calling you Y. You can tell it's aimed at me, because when people repeatedly say the same words are you walk past, then laugh, you would have to be hard of understanding not to recognize it. >Or they repeat something that's been said somewhere else... the PE thing >being a case in point.

You see, the kernel >of vitriol is in the words "come back". At the time, the themes of >abuse were centred around interpretations of those two words (stretch your >mind a little bit, I don't have to spell it out for you, surely). :You did in your mail item. : :You seem to be scouting about something called a "Double Entendre". The :inference being "Come" = Ejaculation, "Back" = Anus (not the first part :of the body I would have went for, I would have foolishly gone for "Back", :silly old me). : :You see to have picked a sodomy double entendre out of a Private Eye :headline. They are everywhere. The English language has much double :meaning in it, and if you put your mind to it, you could pull a double :entendre out of a randomly chosen page of the bible. So what? >The point is that when Simon pointed it out to Phil, he did recognise >what it meant after a moment's thought... and so did I... and so did the >people who repeated it several times later... so however murky it may >seem to you, that is the meaning they intended it to have... I still don't really know if the meaning was intended when that headline was written, or if it was simply "found" after the fact. The reason I think it might be the former is that I got quite a lot of abuse along the lines of "sound-alike" or "double-entendre" at work, in particularly from Steve. So "double" inevitably came to mean split-personality, "two people in one"; "back" inevitably came to mean "backside", "come" inevitably meant you-know- what, "split" (well, we'd better split now) again you can guess, "bent" (of a similar bent), the list goes on forever. These aren't "nice" double- entendres intended for comedy, they're nasty words to humiliate and cause pain. If I could turn the clock back three years then I would sue my former employers for harassment and I would almost certainly win. I had to take pills after a year of Oxford, so they wouldn't be able to lie their way out of it. Actually, I could still take them to court - the main obstacle being that three years after the fact is a bit late and much of what happened, the details that would be necessary for a case to go to court, has just been obliterated by time. : Smid ============================================== From: flames@flames.cityscape.co.uk (Peter Kr|ger) Newsgroups: uk.misc,soc.culture.british,alt.conspiracy,uk.media,uk.legal Subject: Re: Mike Corley - a (helpful) suggestion Date: Mon Oct 2 05:43:42 1995 In article <812551172snz@objmedia.demon.co.uk>, Snail <snail@objmedia.demon.co.uk> says: >Indeed, I feel that my Usenet access is censored simply because I don't want >to download groups he is partaking in, because of his behaviour. > >I wasn't that bothered, but I am starting to get seriously pissed off >with him. Which takes a lot. Hi Snail This person Corley seems quite interesting for three reasons. I put the following at the end of a post in another thread just to see if he was reading any other threads in uk.media. It seems he is probably not. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Heres an interesting little story from back in the early days of CCD technology. There was this miniature camera which was designed to fit behind the infrared receiver lens of the remote control system (just beside the IR sensor itself) the camera clocked out the data in 256 lines of 256 pixels from a Fairchild chip and fed it out, a line at a time, into the VBI within the TV set itself. The signal could be picked up remotely from a standard license detector van from where it was stripped out of the surrounding RF signal and relayed back to the TV station where it was displayed as a slowscan monochrome image in a corner of the news readers monitor. 5481 Tag: Must Read Tag: 179538

Why would "they" wish to assassinate your character? Well, let's put it this way - just because this is the first time it's happened in this way, from these people, on this scale, doesn't mean that it hasn't happened before, on a lesser scale. At university there were people who quite overtly hated me and would have wished something nasty to happen to me. Because of where I went making the wrong sort of enemies is pretty deadly. "They" would wish to assassinate my character because it had all been done before, and because they knew I would not be able to react in any other way than I'd reacted previously. >>> ##: They invaded my home with their bugs, they repeated what I >>> ##: was saying in the privacy of my home, and they laughed that it >>> ##: was "so funny", that I was impotent and could not even communicate >>> ##: what was going on.

Please give details of when, where and by whom these comments were made, so that they can be checked. This was four, five years ago... sorry, I don't remember. I can remember individual incidents, words which were repeated by different people at different times in different locations. Around the end of 1992 Private Eye rtan a front-cover with John and Norma Major, with the title "Major's support lowest ever" and John saying to Norma "Come back norma" on the front cover. What can you read in to that? Not a lot, seems like standard fare for PE. The first time I saw it I was in the pub with some people from work. One was expressing doubts to the other (let's call the first one Simon, shall we? and the second one Phil?) about whether what was going on was right. Phil's answer was that if Private Eye was doing it then it must be ok, "they're usually right". A few days later, again near work, there were some students laughing in the street, "Were you COMING BACK later? But I thought you said you were COMING BACK ha ha ha?" Play on words, you see. Not very nice, either. I had start medication soon afterwards. Clever people, these chaps who think up PE titles. Just slightly lacking in any sense of morality. >>> ##: How did they do this?

If that is true, then we should be concerned; if he is just paranoid, then we should empathise with his sickness. What we should not do is to invite censorship....that just could be implicitly joining in the putative Conspiracy. Let's look at Mike's potential options (and the alleged responses he has received): > 1. Complain to the Police: (their alleged response > "Don't be silly, Sir"; Mike's rationale "They are part > of the Conspiracy") > I don't think the police as an organisation are part of it. They're certainly not the source. The officer I spoke to at Easter clearly didn't know anything about it. And that was at my local police station in London - if anyone in the police knew you would think the people at your local cop shop would. A couple of years ago I had to go into the station after a motoring infraction, the guy I spoke to then said something about "brain like a computer sir" which my suspicions latched on to - (I'm alleged to be a programmer as some people reading this know) - but as per the usual "can';t prove nuthin" and you ask yourself if you're just being stupid suspecting on the basis of a straw > 2. Complain to a Member of Parliament (Mike's rationale: "Can't > because they are part of the Conspiracy") > I could do that actually. But he would probably tell me to go see the police, for which see above. > 3. Make it visible through the UK Press. (Mike's rationale: > "Can't because they are part of the Conspiracy") > They are actually. There's a difference though in the way journalists react to this stuff when they're "got to" by the security service. This is completely giving the game away, but the trouble originally started with my reading into stuff that was being written by Times columnists, in particular our antagonistic friend Mr Levin.

    - Veritas backup At a client I have a SBS 2000 running where I want to backup both files and Exchange to a USB-harddrive. FOr a very long time backup from Veritas has been running like a dream, but for some reason it stopped a couple of weeks ago. I am able to do the full backup of the Exchange part and it will succeed and finish to verify the backup. However, this is not the case with the file share they are having - each time a backup is made from this the server will crash (i.e. all icons dissapear and the logon screen disappearr) and there is only the power swithc left to rescue us - ane I don't belive this has been the intention from MS or Veritas :-) Any experiences like this or any ideas on where to start looking to get my client start smiling again :-) Peter Tag: Must Read Tag: 179527

    - SBS 2000 transition to standard server Hi. One of the sites that I look after is currently running SBS 2000 but due to the company restructure and site locations I have started to rebuild the network into a single domain structure. This is the problem. I am going to purchase a new server with 2003 R2 standard edition and run all the usual services from it. It will be part of the new domain, location.groupname.local but I want the old SBS server to also join the domain to be the email, print and archive server as well as a second DC. Now I know I can buy a transition pack that will upgrade to SBS 2003 R2 but can i get a pack that will upgrade to 2003 R2 standard plus does it still retain Exchange do I loose it? Also if I can what are the pit falls? Thanks for your time. Jason Tag: Must Read Tag: 179521

    - URLScan has entries I can't understand Hello, all. This SBS2000 system has about 15 users, and the URLSCAN.yymmdd.LOG file is usually empty or contains obvious entries. However, I've noticed lately some regular entries that I can't account for. Two workstations are involved. Every day, at 2:15 AM, one client's inside IP address is listed as the source for these in the URLSCAN log: Raw URL='/COMPANY.bat' Raw URL='/COMPANY.cmd' Raw URL='/COMPANY.exe' Raw URL='/COMPANY.com' Raw URL='/COMPANY.bat' Raw URL='/COMPANY.cmd' Raw URL='/COMPANY.exe' Raw URL='/COMPANY.com' Raw URL='/CLIENT%20FILES.bat' Raw URL='/CLIENT%20FILES.cmd' Raw URL='/CLIENT%20FILES.exe' Raw URL='/CLIENT%20FILES.com' The other workstation is listed as the source for these, always at 2:30 AM: Raw URL='/Client%20Files.bat' Raw URL='/Client%20Files.cmd' Raw URL='/Client%20Files.exe' Raw URL='/Client%20Files.com' There is a mapped drive from every workstation to a share on the SBS machine called "\\servername\Client Files", and COMPANY is a sharename on the SBS that may be mapped on the workstation that is issuing those commands. I certainly don't know what the BAT CMD EXE COM series means except it looks like it's looking for something to run. There's no untoward behavior on the network or any of the workstations (including these), so I suspect this is something benign. Can anyone explain where this is coming from? Thanks.

    - Mailbox sharing / generic mailbox question Hi there, My client has a pop box called advice@domainname.com. This is pulled down and routed to an individual users mailbox via the POP connector. When this user is on holiday other users have to log on as this user to check for any mail coming to the advice mailbox. How do I give other users access to their mailbox? I have looked in the user account properties Exchange tabs but can't find the same options as available in SBS 2003. A better alternative long term would be to create a generic user called advice, have the email routed there and then give the other users permission to open that mailbox as well, but I need to know how to do the permission bit first I guess. Any help appreciated, Thanks, Andy. Tag: Must Read Tag: 179505

    - New Orleans Conference a Huge Success I've just arrived home from Jeff Middleton's IT Pro 2007 Conference in New Orleans and I just wanted to let everyone know that it was a huge success...from the key note...to the various panel discussions, the deep dive sessions, Microsoft's presentation on Cougar, the vendors and of course New Orleans, Bourbon St. and last nights cruise on the Mississippi. There was overwhelming indications from those present that they would like to see this happen again next year and Jeff seemed to indicate he'd put efforts in that direction. And I know we all came home with lots to think about. It was nice to put a face to some of you from the NG's here and unfortunate that many more of you did not make it. Remember that Wayne Small, SBS - MVP and founder of SBSFAQ.com is hosting a seminar in Sydney Austrailia over Thanksgiving...he has a great line up and activities planned...

    - Old user, old computer, new combination yields no rights I've got a small existing domain based on an SBS computer. There are 2 client machines running Win XP that see most of the use on this domain. (Well call them A and B.) One of my users has exclusively used machine A for several years now. This week I had her log in on machine B to get her set up, since A will soon be retired. Machine B is newer than A, but still nearly a year old and has been on the domain the entire time. She has no problem logging in on B, but once there, she appears to have no permissions, even to her own desktop and My Documents folder. For example, if she right-clicks the desktop and selects "New > Text Document" she gets an error dialog reading "Unable to create the file New Text Document.txt. Access is denied." She's set up with normal Domain User permissions (I generally don't use local permissions) and has no problem on the old machine (A). Other users on machine B aren't having problems. Am I missing something obvious in getting her set up on this other machine? Thanks, Andy Tag: Must Read Tag: 179479

    - Configuring performance counters for Exchange... I want to monitor some Exchange counters on my Windows 2000 Small Business Server. The Microsoft Exchange IS service does not currerntly have performance counters enabled. So, I ran the WIndows 2000 resource kit tool called "EXCTRLST.exe" which allows you to "enable" performance monitoring on various objects simply by clicking the box there... SO I found the "MSExchangeIS" service in the list and clicked the "Performance Counters Enabled" box. If I go into the Performance monitor, I can select the associated performance counters right there to monitor. However, if I use the "Health" application to create a new performance counter under a "Data Group" I created, and select the "MSExchangeIS (MsExchangeIS)" object , there is no instances that show up at all, when I click on the 'Browse" button for instances. If I just click OK, it adds the performance monitpor but errors out with an "Enumeration Failed - object not found. Data Collector is misconfigured" error. Do I need to renoot my server after enabling performance counters using the EXCTRLST utility for this to work?? (even though it has enabled them in the registry) Thanks, Brad Tag: Must Read Tag: 179458

    - 100% CPU time (dredger.exe & Health Monitor)... OK, I've done a quite a few SBS 2000 installs over the years. Last week a server blew up (pretty much literally). The PSU exploded - the mobo was taken out, and all hard disks trashed. The only salvaged hardware was the DVD writer (even the floppy disk drive was destroyed). So I've rebuilt a temp server. And can I get a clean SBS install working? Not really. I downloaded the trial version of Acronis True Image (didn't work on this machine), and then a trial version of Paragon Drive Backup - which works brilliantly. During my installs I made a number of images. Some of the scenarios I tried: * installing SBS ontop of the W2KS install, as is * installing SBS ontop of a fully updated W2KS install (SP4 + all updates * and most things in between. Every single SBS install ended up with dredger.exe hammering away at 100% (yes, I left things overnight even to see if it would settle). The SBS install goes like this after it does its final reboot - putting updates (Exchange, SQL Server, ISA, ISA FP1 etc etc, other updates), incrementally on, does not rectify anything. (No connection to the internet was made to do any updates, nor during the install). I checked the NICS, and swapped slots, and swapped the NIC's re internal and external to SBS. I configured the NICS so that they were not in the 169... range (default) when the SBS install proceeded (per the readme). I just don't know what's causing it. I've read the Googled info - none of it helped. Removing Health Monitor has *sorta* helped. Dredger.exe still ran at 100%, so I renamed it so it couldn't fire up at all. Then svchost runs at 100% instead. I used Sysinternals pskill.exe to take the processes out - and this has temporarily sorted the problem. So at present, I have a temp server that is working, but on every reboot I have to take out the offending svchost running at 100%. And I have no nice management interface (which I can do without, as the new server will be sorted in the next week or two anyway). So while a resolution to this install problem is not a great issue, I'm wondering what the hells going on (anyway). Any ideas anyone? -- Duncan Tag: Must Read Tag: 179453

    - netgear vpn - can't see shares I have a sbs 2000 server with windows 2k sp 4 on a small office lan with a netgear prosafe vpn firewall router that provides access to the Internet. This SBS machine used to be setup as a gateway/firewall running ISA server and using VPN. VPN worked that way but was extremely slow and the required ms firewall client & IE proxy settings were a nuisance to laptop users with home networks. So I introduced this netgear hardware firewall to improve the situation. ISA server has been removed via add/remove programs from the SBS server. The second NIC and RRAS has been disabled. The internal NIC of the SBS server is setup like this: ip: 10.0.0.2 mask: 255.255.0.0 gateway: 10.0.0.1 dns: 10.0.0.2 DNS is setup as a forwarder on the SBS server with the ISP's name servers listed. DHCP and WINS is running on the SBS server. DHCP is disabled on the Netgear router. The Netgear router's internal ip address is 10.0.0.1 Problem is, I can connect to the lan from a remote client using Netgear's client software fine. I can map drives to two other servers on the office lan but not the SBS 2000 machine. I am using local lmhosts and hosts files on the remote client to resolve names. I can ping the SBS server but that's all. I get error 53 if I try to use 'net use' or 'net view' at the command prompt. I get "network path can not be found" if I try to map the drive through windows explorer. I have tried specifiying a valid domain account including the administrator account. In windows explorer, it will return and ask for a valid domain account if I give it an invalid one, but it will still throw up the error "network path can not be found." I am testing with two remote clients: one is a windows xp pro workstation, the other is a windows 2000 sp4 laptop. The laptop has been joined to the domain while connected to the internal lan and I am attempting to connect via vpn with a cached domain user account. I get the same results with both clients. The local network I am using uses a 192.168.1.x address scheme. I have also tried connecting via dial-up with the laptop. I am two months and three long weekends into this problem and have exhausted the troubleshooting steps to find the issue. There are no software firewalls involved. I have tried disabling virusscanners and the remote hardware firewall which is a linksys router. Any ideas as to what to check would be greatly appreciated. Tag: Must Read Tag: 179408

    - add another SBS box for SQL usage This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0006_01C78E6D.6B591C50 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi all, Our company want to add a SQL server box for our computer modelling = people to use. Existing we have a SBS2000 domain box, and a W2k Std = Server box (as member). Our IT support contractor suggested us to buy a = new SBS2003 Std box and use the SQL server in there. My question is: 1. I heard two SBS cannot co-exist together in a domain, how can this = configuration work? 2. The modelling people use softwares called MOUSE and MIKE URBAN to do = modelling work. They use the new SQL server to store their GIS data and = let the modelling software to retrieve the data off it for processing = and then store the results back to it. If the SQL server is not in the = same domain as the logon of the user, can the software retrieve/store = the data off/to SQL? 3. If the user want to admin the SQL server, can he do it? how? 4. Can the user use MS Office (like Excel, Access) to access this SQL = server? 5. We have a backup tape which use BackupExec in the existing domain. = Can we use it to backup the data in that new SQL server? How to = configure the backup job? Any suggestion is welcome. We definitely also need new ideas and views.

    - Critical security hotfix causes event log warnings I started getting Application warnings shortly after I installed the critical hotfix KB 925902 on my SBS 2000 server and restarted. They continued every 5 minutes apart until I uninstalled the hotfix a week later. Troubleshooting articles I found all suggested that the cause was some form of corruption in the security database. As directed, I ran "esentutl.exe /q C:\WINNT\security\database\secedit.sdb". I got no errors. I have had no problems looking at and changing security policies. What's the underlying cause of the problem? How do I fix this so that I can keep the hotfix installed? Is there a better newsgroup for this question? The SBS 2000 Server is running Exchange and SQL. All are on current service packs. Thanks, Joe M ---------------------------------------------- This is a cut/paste of the first warning event: Event Type: Warning Event Source: SceCli Event Category: None Event ID: 1202 Date: 4/9/2007 Time: 10:25:12 AM User: N/A Computer: MY-SBS Description: Security policies are propagated with warning. 0x4b8 : An extended error has occurred. For best results in resolving this event, log on with a non-administrative account and search http://support.microsoft.com for "Troubleshooting Event 1202s". I kept getting these warning events every 5 minutes until I uninstalled KB925902. After the restart I got: Event Type: Information Event Source: SceCli Event Category: None Event ID: 1704 Date: 4/17/2007 Time: 10:35:20 PM User: N/A Computer: BIAGINI-SBS Description: Security policy in the Group policy objects are applied successfully. I have had no SceCli warning events since. Tag: Must Read Tag: 179389

    - Constantly Running Low on Disk Space Up till recently we have been keeping a constant 40% ish free disk space on the C drive. Now the server over a couple of days runs down to 0%. Exchange DB's\logs, user folders etc are all on a seperate partition. If we reboot the server we regain the disk space back again. If I look at any of the folders there does not seem to be any dramatic increase in sizes to explain the loss of free space. Any help would be grateful. Thanks Tag: Must Read Tag: 179376

    - SBS Migration in general Is there any other way to do a swing migration other than purchasing a separate migration tool? In other words, will a user lose all their e-mail outlook data and book marks on their PC workstation once the change has been created from a new server installation? Also, can I manually do some backup of this onto a tape somehow and restore from a tape or external hard drive from a backup? I like to know my options on this case? I'd appreciate any feedback?

    - Adding SBS2000 CALS without Floppy Controller on server board We have a number of SBS2000 servers to be replaced that must remain SBS2000 at tis point. New Intel server boards (eg. S5000PSL) do not have FDD controllers - we use a USB FDD for installation requirements. It appears you cannot install an SBS2000 CAL on anything but a true hardware FDD - I believe the installation has to be able to address the FDD port in hardware. Using a USB FDD, and a few other attempts, results in a message that the floppy may be corrupt (not the case). It appears this is a known problem amongst the news groups - but no real solutions. Would be appreciative of any suggestions from someone that may have resolved this problem. Ken -- PCSWA Tag: Must Read Tag: 179365
