    - Reject spam using Reverse Lookup Recently I have noticed a lot of ISPs using reverse dns lookups to block spammers. I know I can perform a reverse lookup in exchange manager. But doesn't this just identify if it resolved correctly or not? How do I set up my exchange server to REJECT emails that don't resolve correctly. I know there may be some legitimate email that could be affected but it looks like it would block a ton of spam from actually getting to my server. I already block domains using exchange manager and the rest with GFI MailEssentials. They both work great. However, I would prefer to reject the emails that don't resolve, too. Just another weapon in my war with those spam bastards. Tag: NNTPSVC is posting to logs every hours, how to turn off? Tag: 130919

    - Mail by SMTP or by Pop3: which is best? I'm fairly new to SBS2000. I have our mail coming to us from a pop3 server at Demon (a UK ISP). I would like to move to SMTP but I'm not sure what's needed to do this? Can anyone advise me? Tag: NNTPSVC is posting to logs every hours, how to turn off? Tag: 130913

    - SMTP Virtual Server problems Hi All, This is my first post to this group. I have had a SBS 2000 installation running for a few months now, but every now and again (maybe 4-5 times a week) the outbound messages seem to get stuck in the "destination unreachable queue". Once one message gets stuck in there everything else seems to pile up behind it. All SMTP mail is forwarded to our ISP via smart host setting (also tried with ISP's ip address instead of FQDN). The other error I get in the event log is event 4003 the domain "whateveritis.com" is currently unreachable" . This relates to the domain that I was trying to get an email message to in the first place and doesn't seem to matter what the email address is. I can send a mail to an email address one day, and maybe an hour later if I send to the same address that succeeded before it goes straight to the destination unreachable queue and locks up all other messages until I restart the smtp service. If I restart the SMTP service all messages are delivered. I found this article on the KB 289808 but my question is this. Have many of you SBS Admins out there had to do this disabling 8 bit MIME? It seems quite complex and I am just wondering if anybody else has had to do it. Any other ideas would be gratefully accepted? thx in advance Andrew Tag: NNTPSVC is posting to logs every hours, how to turn off? Tag: 130904

    - OT: Win XP Strange Display Issue I have a new WinXP workstation where, when you drag a desktop shortcut with the mouse, the shortcut does not appear to move. Then when you release the mouse button, the shortcut appears at the new location. It appears as if you are just moving the mouse, until you release the button - then the shortcut disappears at the old location and reappears at the new. I could easily ignore this, but it annoys the user. Anyone seen this before? This is a dell dimension 4600 with XP Pro, pretty much in its out-of-the-box configuration. AFAIK, no display-related settings have been changed. Tag: NNTPSVC is posting to logs every hours, how to turn off? Tag: 130893

    - ProSeries Accounting on SBS2K I have a new client with 3 users who use ProSeries Accounting from Intuit. All 3 users were created with the standard user template on SBS 2000. There is a feature in PS that allows users to transfer a past clients personal data info from say year 2002 into the new year 2003 for new tax season. The problem is it only works when the users have Domain Admin rights. Intuit says a couple things. First they say, this feature should only be done by an admin. Then they say, permissions on the server or the workstations must be wrong. The Workstations are Win XPP, with local admin rights and Domain User rights. ProSeries was installed into the Company folder which has full share and security permissions/rights to everyone. I have checked & rechecked and can't find what's wrong. I think it is ProSeries. Anyone dealt with ProSeries before? I have installed to different shared folder but same thing. I have upped the users to Power User status still broke. Only Domain Admin works and that won't happen.

    - Cannot run Add/Remove Programs on SBS 2000 I have SBS with SP1 for SBS and SP3 for 2000 installed. During installing some MicroSoft patches the Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel quit working. I just finished installing SP4 hoping that would fix the problem. It did not. I found Microsoft Article 323496 referencing this problem. It cuts off at SP2 and really doesn't offer a fix. How can I fix this problem? I can run anything else out of Control Panel, but if I click on Add/Remove Programs nothing happens. The same for if I run the executable referenced in 323496. Any Ideas?

    - Setting up VPN and Internet Access - newbie I've only just loaded our SBS and we're trying to configure it for: 1) LAN internet access 2) VPN access 3) multiple inbound static IPs via Cisco Router We connect via a Cisco 801 to the net. The SBS is dual-homed, internal NIC on 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.0 and external NIC on 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 I have used the wizards to set up VPN and net access but they seem to configure one or the other: either VPN or Net access. I can't seem to get both. Trying to connect via VPN gives me a "no certificate" message from a W2K Pro client. Any and all help appreciated, or point me to a link that will explain everything!! :-)) I used to run 4.5 in the same configuration but I don't understand the routing and remote access server. We had this running perfectly under 4.5 but 2000 is a bit more of a handful. SC Tag: NNTPSVC is posting to logs every hours, how to turn off? Tag: 130869

    - New SBS Install Problems Hi I have recently set up two new SBS 2000 servers on identical hardware and am getting strange results:- Both servers are Fujitsu RX300 servers c/w 2.6 GHZ Xeons, and 1gb RAM and 36Gb RAID 1 HD. The servvers also have dual 1gb Broadcom ethernet cards built in. On server 1 and 2 when restarting I get an error stating that there is a duplicate name on the network and to use nbtstat -n. On server 2 when i try to run the SBSconsole config for internet it tells me that one of the lan cards is disabled, to renable then run the wizard again. neither card is disabled and i can ping the i/p's of both cards. Both machines are not on the network at the same time and they are set up as follows.: Server1 Machine name: Main Domain :Opera Card 1 Details:- IP 10.0.0.5 sub 255.0.0.0 Gateway 10.0.0.1 DNS 10.0.0.5 Card 2 Details IP 10.0.0.6 sub 255.0.0.0 Gateway 10.0.0.1 DNS 10.0.0.5 Server2 Machine name: HYDRASBS01 Domain :hydraclean Card 1 Details:- IP 10.0.0.2 sub 255.0.0.0 Gateway 10.0.0.1 DNS 10.0.0.2 Card 2 Details IP 10.0.0.3 sub 255.0.0.0 Gateway 10.0.0.1 DNS 10.0.0.2 Any one any ideas?

    - Dedicated Dial-In Best Practices? We have staff who travel frequently; often to parts of Asia where broadband is unknown (like some hotels in NY/LA :). BigBoss has gotten us an 800# for dedicated dial-in because he can't figure out how to work MSN, AOL, WTnet, etc. Travelers currently VPN in -- if they can get on the Internet -- no problem there. I do have a few questions on direct dial-in to the server though: 1. Hardware: internal or external modem? Any recommendation for compatibility with SBS? 2. Shared Fax: will sharing the 800# with direct dial-in conflict with us implementing shared fax (of course, other than busy signals)? This will be the first modem we attach to the server and might as well use shared fax. 3. Any special security issues for hackers randomly dialing 800#'s looking for open modems? 4. Any recommended articles? I've read the MSFT technet stuff, but it is more "dollars" without the "sense". Thanks group, John BTW..this group was the only way this newbie was able to get SBS up ontime/onbudget; we're now going on month six and have had 100% uptime (except for planned patch reboots of course :).

    - Firewall Client and Permission Errors I have a client with three workstations and a small business server. Recently one workstation was having problems accessing the shared network drives. After uninstalling the firewall client it can access the network drives fine. I have tried static and dynamic IP's manually setting the ISA server in the client configuration and having it automaticly detect. Nothing that I change makes a difference. I also tried reinstalling the firewall client and it can access the drives fine until I restart the machine and then it fails. First it comes up with a logon screen and none of the usernames and passwords work, not even the server admin password. And I get an error saying that I don't have permission to access the drives.

    - Opening a port on ISA We use a piece of Software over the web which entails having a certain port open, RDP TCP port 3389 to be exact. When we try to connect to the web address whilst connected to the network Proxy we are able to connect to the web address but unable to open the terminal services applet for this software. All that opens is a blank white Terminal services Applet Window. However, if we logon to the same pc as a standalone user rather than part of the domain and then connect via a dial up connection the Temrinal services over the web works fine. Could someone please tell us how they open a port on ISA so that we can be sure we are following the correct procedure. cheers Tag: NNTPSVC is posting to logs every hours, how to turn off?

    - telnet to my router.... as this ng suggested me some weeks ago, I removed raspppoe from my sbs server, I bought a router that supports pppoe protocol, and I connected it to the second nic of the machine, run ICW and everything worked fine..... All the configuration of the router (ip, username, password) has been made using the software provided with the router, but if I want to set port forwarding (ie to connect remotely to my server) I have to open a telnet session to the router.....but when I digit from the prompt "telnet 192.168.1.254" (the router's ip), after about a minute I receive an error "unable to open a connection to host....". I tried to start manually the telnet service on the sbs2000 box, but nothing changed...... I'm sure the router works correctly, since if I connect it temporarily to a win xp notebook (with the only nic configured as the server's secondary), I'm able to open the telnet session.....but I'd like to work with the router connected to SBS..... can you help me??? thnx bye Tag: NNTPSVC is posting to logs every hours, how to turn off?

    - TSAdmin connection to SBS via 56K Modem I would like to set-up to TSAdmin connect to my SBS. The office and my home are both in rural areas were there is only 56K dial-up internet access available. The server has two USR V-Everything external modems with one set for fax only and the other set for internet only. Can either of these be shared with dial-in or do I need another one? If sahrable which should I use? I beleive that I'll need to set permissions to allow dial-in on the server, Install the Remote Desktop Client at home and set-up a new connection at home. Does the Remote Desktop Client initialte the dial-up and connection? Is there a link that anyone can provide with a step by step guide to make sure I don't miss anything. On my final install & set-up of the SBS box I has issues with the dial-up connection and internet access that took a while to resolve. The bax has run without any trouble for months now AND I DO NOT WANT TO SCREW-UP MY CONNECTION AGAIN!!! whoops, a bad memory. I was going to try this back in July, but chickened out. I would really benefit from being able to connect to the server like I was sitting at it on occassion after hours, month ends etc. This would save me rather the 30 minute one way drive at least once a week when I would like to check something. If in the same connection I can access my workstation like I am sitting at it that would be a bonus since I could run various reports that take a long time before I leave for the office, they would be done when i get there.

    - Trouble Accessing IIS from the Internet Hi, I have an on-going problem and as such have not found a solution. SBS SP1a, 2 NIC setup (internal and external IP's on seperate NIC's) and I cannot access OWA, TSWEB, ADMIN web, PRINTERS or any other folder in IIS from the internet. I can access the above mentioned on the LAN using internal and external IP addresses (http://server/exchange or http://212.32.58.xxx/exchange), but when I try and connect through the internet I can see in the IE status bar that the page is loading, eventually timing out and displaying 'website cannot be found'. I don't even get prompted to enter a username / password. I have checked ISA and IIS settings as per MS, IIS is listening on the internal network, ISA is configured to pass all incoming requests on port 80 to IIS. I have checked folder permissions in Windows Explorer and IIS snap-in. Authentication is configured as basic and integrated. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    - Portscan alerts from DNS server ip Every now and then I get ISA portscan alerts coming from our isp's dns servers. dns works fine otherwise. Isp's dns is configured as forwarder to dns server on sbsserver. Clients send their queries to sbs box, they get the setting from dhcp, so no client tries to get directly to ips's dns. What is wrong here? Can it be that sometimes the response comes so late that the isa has already closed the dynamic return port? Or could it be that the external interface's dns settings point to isp's dns? - This was configured with the connection wizard tough. thanks, Jussi Tag: NNTPSVC is posting to logs every hours, how to turn off?

    - Did SUS behaviour regarding service packs just change without any warning? Great :-( [Crossposted to SBS groups as a heads-up for the SBS SUS users....] I've just noticed that my local SUS has downloaded the network install of W2k SP4 and WinXP SP1. I'm sure SUS1.0 SP1 said that it wouldn't/couldn't deploy service packs, only hotfixes; yet when I check http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/windowsupdate/sus/susfaq.asp it has been updated (17/Sep/2003) to say that SUS now *does* deploy service packs... Huh? Did I miss something here? Was there a *notice* of any kind that SUS behaviour was going to change? I'm subscribed to the "SUS content notification change" mailing list, yet I didn't receive any messages letting me know this was going to happen. Instead of changing this silently, how about rolling this feature out as a SUS SP2? Can I turn this feature off? I hope so, but I bet you can't. Why? I've got three production servers, at three separate sites, each with SUS but with only an ISDN 64kbit internet internet connection; I guess over the next few days they are each going to swamp the internet connection for hours while they try and download two service packs in full, but on these sites (a) I only have W2k systems, no XPs at all, and (b) all my W2k machines already have SP4. So I've got 3 x 250MB+ of download headed my way for absolutely no reason, and I can't prevent it, unless I disable SUS and go back to manually running a WindowsUpdate. :-( *** Can I make a plea to the SUS guys, and MS in general? *PLEASE* don't just silently change product features without giving us any notice - it usually causes grief for somebody. *** Check out some quotes from threads in the SUS group and see just how well handled announcing this change: http://groups.google.com/groups?threadm=uQe7BFVeDHA.2300%40TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl "But by the end of this month SUS would be handling service packs. To start with W2K SP4 will be available through SUS. Jose" "So is it SP4 for Win2K that's changing or SUS? I'm a bit confused... Tom S. BTW, [Jose] what's your affiliation with MS? They wouldn't confirm or deny anything for me..." "It is SUS that is changing. It will be released as a completely new version, called SUS 2.0 I think. Torgeir Bakken (MVP)" "But not by the end of the month I am told. If you know differently, please elaborate. The new version was scheduled to be released early next year. I would understand it if MS might want to speed up the release and I'm sure it would be welcome. Thanks. Tom S" (thread ends with no response from Jose) and another one: http://groups.google.com/groups?threadm=407c01c37c49%247a3275d0%24a501280a%40phx.gbl "How can I get the Service Pack 4 on to a computer without internet access?

    - DNS cache problem I am trying to resolve an issue with caching. I first noticed the problem when I tried to conduct a recursive test within the dns console. I then looked within the console from the advanced view and noticed that nothing was cached.. no root-servers ..nothing. What do you think could possibly cause this problem. DNS appears to be configured correctly. The only thing that has been done to the server around the time of this problem was the application of the "blaster" patch. Any ideas?

    - Citrix Server Publishing and ISA Clients outside ISA can't connect to Citrix server published through ISA. I can Telnet from outside on port 1494 to Citrix server, no problem. I can telnet from Citrix server itself via loopback (as a recommended test from Citrix KB art CTX075552 to verify connectivity). Clients on the inside (behind ISA) have no problems connecting. Using Netmon, I can see the external Telnets to port 1494, but when attempting to connect from full PN client, can't see connection attempt in Netmon. ISA is configured as described in art CTX482629 "How to publish a Citrix Server Behind an ISA FW" These steps are identical to MS KB article on the same subject,. All steps were successfully completed. Packet filters for TCP 1494 and 80 are in place, Protocol Description is configured, ISA server publishing wiz was used to publish Citrix XP server and altaddr was set on Citrix server so that Citrix server has alternate address of external ISA address. PN is configured as required, server address is ISA extrenal, Use Alt Addr for FW is checked, etc. Any other troubleshooting procedures I can try? I have successfully connected to MF servers at other locations (not behind ISA, but behind PIX). Can't figure out what is missing??? This one's driving me nuts because as configured it should work.

    - From Workgroup to Domain I am wondering how difficult it would be to convert from a "Workgroup" server to a "Domain" server, and where I might find the documentation I need to accomplish this task. I don't have much experience with this product and can't seem to word the searches correctly in the knowledge base to get the info I need. I have also started searching the "On line manuals" but I am not sure if they were completely installed. The installer of the network was not much for security or documentation, and I am working "slightly" in the dark. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Ric Tag: NNTPSVC is posting to logs every hours, how to turn off? Tag: 130676

    - irritating BU exec problem I am using a Ercix VXA1 tape drive BU exec 9. I was having a lot of problems with timeouts due to the media not loading when the scheduled backup was to take place. I notice that when we changed the tape it was not getting recognized in the device area. As an experiment I have been restarting the BU exec services before going home and it has been working fine. Has anyone else had this problem? Is it possible to schedule a service restart as a workaround until we sort this out?? Tag: NNTPSVC is posting to logs every hours, how to turn off? Tag: 130669

    - Strange internal email problem Any suggestions with this problem would be appreciated. I have a situation where one user when sending email to an a single internal recipient fails. To be more precise here is some more info. the sender can send to all other users OK except to one user. The sender can receive from all users no problem. The user that the sender is having problems sending to is not having any problems at all. So for some reason there is a problem with sending to a single user only. Any ideas would be great TIA Tag: NNTPSVC is posting to logs every hours, how to turn off? Tag: 130664

    - pop3 email on a client of SBS 2000 how do i setup the client to get its mail from pop accounts??? I dont want the server to manage the email at all. I have run through the ICW and set it up to disable pop & smtp and i've tried also enabling them. either way, i cant get my client computer to recieve email. it used to work, then one day, no longer. it quit working about a day or so before i moved my office. The internet is still the same, different location. Time Warner cable service is the ISP. Clients have no probs getting online, just can't get email.

This is the Network News Protocol. You can set it to startup manually, do
not disable it. Reboot the server and you will no longer see those messages.

In Exchange I stoped this service. I did not see a selection for start type.

Thank you.
